Most people believe that in order to lose weight they need to count and restrict calories, eat less fatty foods, and spend hours on the treadmill. Have you tried this approach? Often I find that these strategies don't work for my patients. They may lose weight for a short period of time, but eventually old habits return and they gain the weight back. If your New Years goal for 2012 is to lose weight, here are 6 tips for keeping the pounds off.
Tip #1: Get More Sleep
Sleep is the number one tip on my list because getting more sleep is cheapest, easiest way to balance your weight loss hormones and support long-term weight loss. If you're getting less than 8 hours of sleep each night, hormones such as Leptin, Ghrelin, and cortisol can be out-of-balance causing your appetite to increase and your metabolism to decrease. When you are low on sleep, you are more hungry, more tired during the day, you exercise less, and you burn less calories and fat. Plus, when you sleep less, you are more likely to do late-night snacking. Eight or more hours of sleep in a completely dark room is imperative for getting good rest and supporting your weight loss hormones.
