A healthy weight loss diet will take into consideration all kinds of fat triggers, versus simply outlining a food eating program. You might be surprised to learn that you will have a 70% chance of being obese over time if you get less than four hours of sleep every night, on average. At least recent studies have shown this fact. A sleep pattern of only six hours will increase food cravings, increase fat deposits around your middle section and a lower metabolism.
So what happens, biologically, when you don't sleep well? Sleep deprivation puts your body in a chronic state of stress. Stress elevates cortisol levels and stimulates insulin secretion, which activates your FAT programs and puts your body in fat storage mode.
Just a few small changes in your evening habits can improve your ability to sleep soundly. Here are some tips to get you started:
*Don't fall asleep in front of the TV; it causes chemical changes in your brain that interrupt your sleeping patterns
*Make sure it's cool, comfortable and as dark as possible
*If possible, avoid eating anything 3 hours before bed
x Caffeinated drinks including black, green and white tea will affect your sleep patterns negatively if consumed in the afternoon
*Take hot a bath or shower before bed
x Falling asleep to relaxation Cd's will help your sleep patterns throughout the night
If you snore heavily, have difficulty breathing, or need to lose 100lbs or more, you might have sleep apnea. It's impossible to lose weight if you're suffering from sleep apnea so please see your doctor immediately to get tested. A healthy weight loss diet will include many factors outside of simply what goes into your food.
