1. Less Sleep = More Food CLICK TO TWEET
Everyone always says that you need plenty of sleep. Typically you hear this because your body needs time to heal. Well, here is another reason. A recent study published in the journal Sleep (yes, there is a journal called Sleep), showed that not getting enough sleep effected both men and women differently, but neither result was good if you are trying to lose weight.
- Men – They experience a rise in the hormone ghrelin, which creates a rise in hunger stimulation.
- Women – They experience a decrease in glucagon, which is a hormone that tells you when you are full.
In both cases, the end result is going to be you eating more food. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night and you should be fine!

If this is you, CLICK HERE to be guilted out of that thought process. Anyways, here is how it works. Every little bit counts. Anybody that tells you otherwise doesn’t know what they are talking about. No, you are not going to get your dream body by simply taking the stairs instead of the elevator. You will get results though.
