Not enough sleep, no matter how little you eat, you will gain weight

Sleep less, gain more weight, lose weight, sleep 7 hours first

You should know that women's healthy sleep time is 7 and a half hours, and during these 7 and a half hours, deep sleep stimulates the brain to secrete a growth hormone to guide the body to convert fat into energy. Not only foreign girls have proved this through experiments, but domestic experiencers from all walks of life spent 2 months losing an average of 3.5KG, and the maximum weight loss was 5.5KG, which was 2 SIZE smaller.

Experts advocate "sleeping and losing weight"

Insufficient sleep can seriously affect the balance of hormones in a woman's body, disrupt a woman's digestive system, increase food intake, increase fat storage, and ultimately lead to overweight or obesity.

Sanjay Patel, another researcher, said: "At least 20 studies have shown that less sleep leads to more weight gain." In a 16-year survey involving 70,000 people, he found that among people who slept less than 5 hours a day, 30% more people were overweight than those who slept normally. Currently, women aged 25 to 30 sleep on average only 6 hours and 40 minutes, which is much lower than the 7 and a half hours needed to maintain health. However, it is an indisputable fact that sleep suppresses hormones that govern appetite, desire and fat.

Falling waist while sleeping

"During deep sleep, the brain quietly secretes large amounts of growth hormones, which guide the body to convert fat into energy. If you reduce your deep sleep time and accumulate a large amount of calories that can be converted into fat, your hormone secretion cannot keep up with the accumulation of calories, and your body will automatically convert these fat to your buttocks, thighs and belly. This is how obesity comes."

In fact, those volunteers who increased their deep sleep time found that they could easily put on a pair of pants that used to be tight in the third week, while in the fourth week, they found that their tummy had shrunk back and the fat on both sides of the waist was also reduced... By the tenth week, the waist, hip circumference and chest had almost shrunk by as much as 12 centimeters, apparently a whole body of weight had been lost.

In addition to the reason why lack of sleep disrupts hormone secretion, if you don't get enough sleep, fat tissue will also become "stubborn". As I mentioned in another post of mine, excessive fatigue (lack of sleep, excessive exercise, etc.) can make fat tissue insensitive and difficult to burn.

Therefore, if you want to lose weight, you must sleep well.
