Now here’s a bit of diet advice that you’ll actually like.
If you want to lose weight, you must get enough sleep.
A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine says cutting your sleep time from 8.5 hours to 5.5 hours causes you to lose less fat. Researchers aren’t even sure why, but they think it’s because lack of sleep boosts a hormone that stimulates hunger and promotes fat retention.
And those are the last two things you want when you’re trying to diet.
I must go and re-set my alarm to ensure that I get 8.5 hours!
