WEIGHT LOSS - TWO THINGS THAT WILL HELP YOU LOSE

In all my weight loss posts, I have always been reminding myself and other weight loss aspirants that the open secret of losing weight is a healthy diet and exercise. Well, there are two important things you can do to help you lose weight effectively and steadily. Stay stress-free and get plenty of sleep! And you want to know how and why these two things help?


Get good sleep (6 to 8 hours every day)

Stay Stress free
In a study that was conducted, reseachers said, that those with lower stress levels were able to lose more weight than their counterparts.  People who slept for 6 to 8 hours a night were able to lose weight faster than compared to those who got less sleep. Chronic stress boosts levels of feel-hungry hormones, which leads many people to seek comfort in high calorie foods to deal with anxiety. Many of the high calorie foods not only make you put on weight, but they're also addictive, so the more you eat, the more you crave. Lack of sleep can interfere with your metabolism, that increases the appetite while making you too lazy to exercise.
