Do you want to lose weight? Let’s say that if you read this article what interests you, or you have tried to lose weight but the results have often been lukewarm or disappointing or on the contrary you would like to lose weight, you are tired of thinking about going back on a diet (in this case I agree with you) , you get tired of following the umpteenth trend in nutrition, you think you are eating properly but you do not understand where you are going wrong and why the pounds do not go away.
Well, maybe this article  by the dietician  Lisa Rutledge , who on the pages of the Huffington Post USA talks about how the environment determines weight loss through 5 important factors could be for you.

In fact, even if you may never have thought about it until now, the environmental factor is important for those who want to lose weight . By environmental factor I mean all those dynamics that are related to your lifestyle, while it is very likely that your efforts to lose weight have always and only been focused on food. Reduce calories, reduce certain foods, follow this or this diet, but always without changing equally important aspects of your life. The risk is to fail: not only because you can’t come up with a different diet every week in order to lose weight, but also because you can get to excessively control what you eat in view of a goal, weight loss, but losing sight of other more important goals, health and a peaceful state of mind. Without them you won’t go anywhere, believe me.

So let’s see these 5 factors that could contribute to weight loss:
1) SLEEP. A good sleep is called “restorative”: not because I have opened a restaurant, but because after sleeping we must feel sufficiently rested, or even well rested. A good sleep is not only a sign of a good metabolism, but it allows the body to maintain good hormonal health and to keep us safe from stress. Also, although we don’t burn many calories while we sleep (it’s a bit like the body is hibernating), if we sleep well during the day we tend to burn more. Activity-induced thermogenesis increases, energy levels are high, your body is not playing for savings, you are playing at 100% of your ability.
