Losing weight while sleeping is possible
There are not a few people who argue that a good restful sleep is the key to losing weight or promoting weight loss : not only does the sleep diet exist, but the recommendation to sleep a lot, at least eight hours a day, is on the lips of both dieticians and nutritionists than doctors in general, and even personal trainers. I disagree very much, partly because advising someone to sleep more is a bit like making him worry that if he doesn’t get enough sleep he won’t lose weight or tend to gain weight, and partly because personally the period in which I was losing weight visibly coincided with an episode of severe insomnia: I lost five kilos, dropping to 45 kilos for over one meter and sixty-three. Based on my experience I would rectify it, saying that simplysleep is important for reducing stress, promoting proper physical recovery, hormonal balance and therefore also losing weight.
But let’s see together the reasons of those who insist that not only sleep is essential, but that it is possible to lose weight while sleeping with these simple tricks. I find eight of them borrowed from an article .
2) If we fast for at least sixteen hours , which means having dinner early and not indulging in nighttime snacks: apparently this is enough to lose more weight.
3)Having an afternoon snack based on yogurt or cheese : yes, this would be enough to lose more weight during the night, or by taking advantage of the casein contained in dairy products and cheeses, which would slightly increase the metabolism of the next day. Or a whey protein shake.
4) The smell of mint, banana and vanilla tends to make us eat less during the day and lose weight at night according to a study. A scented candle would suffice.
5) Changing the air in the room, refreshing it and slightly reducing the temperature , activates the metabolism during sleep, acting on the brown fat to stimulate thermogenesis. The result? Less flab.
6) Sleep in the dark:I sleep in the dark, but I have discovered that many leave a light on at night. Very wrong. If you can, sleep in the dark. This improves the quality of sleep, making it deeper and more useful for the metabolism.
7) Use blue in the bedroom : blue has a very calming effect and promotes tranquility and sleep. Decorate the bedroom in blue to reduce anxiety and appetite.
8) Push off on electronic devices: our bedroom should not be invaded by I-pads, computers and cell phones turned on at night. Let’s avoid them to promote a deep and restorative sleep (therefore also slimming) by turning off everything.
