It is essential to also get a good night’s sleep. The connection between body fat and sleep habits just seems to be getting stronger. That is, deficient sleep is the variable often linked to people who have a high body fat percentage or find it difficult to lose unwanted weight.
Poor sleep habits, or simply not getting enough sleep, interferes with the regulation of hormones that control appetite. It also decreases muscle sensitivity to insulin[2]. These two factors mean that people end up eating too much of the wrong foods and more calories are stored as fat.
So switch the television off an hour or two early and aim for a good 7–8 hours of sleep each night to speed up your results.
