Sleep It Off
Did you know that sleep is a vital component for weight
loss? A study done at the University of Chicago
concluded that people who got less than four hours of
sleep actually had increased levels of the hormone
cortisol and insulin—which are linked to a difficulty in
processing carbohydrates. Tonight go to bed early, aim
for 8 hours of sleep, and wake up fitter.
The Big Lie Do you know the absolute BEST way to GAIN pounds?
Not eating. Does that come as a surprise? Fasting for
extended periods of time actually slows your metabolism
(your body’s rate of calorie burning). Add to that the
fact that you will lose muscle and energy by not
supplying your body with proper nutrients. Instead of
not eating at all try just eating less!
