Sleeping
Habits & Weight Loss
By Greg
Landry (Sincere thanks to Greg for letting me reprint this
article here!)
I know that it may seem a
bit too simplistic to assume that a change in your sleep
habits could aid your weight loss efforts. However, let's
take a look at this. Follow my logic - backwards:
6. I believe that
developing healthy eating habits are much easier if you're
exercising five to seven days per week - consistently.
Healthy eating habits promote weight loss.
5. Exercising five to seven
days per week - consistently, is a major component of a
successful weight loss program
4. Most people who are
successful at exercising five to seven days per week are
morning exercisers.
3. Many people find it
difficult to consistently wake-up early to exercise, often
because they have not slept enough and because they don't
wake-up at the same time every day.
2. Many people don't get
enough sleep because they find it difficult to get to sleep
early.
1. Just think about how
your weight loss situation might change if you were able to
get to sleep an hour earlier every night, wake-up at the
same time - an hour earlier every morning, and spend that
hour exercising.
Awhile back, we had a
discussion about this in one of my newsletters. Within a few
months of that, I received about forty email messages
similar to Jennifer's:
"Greg, I have to tell
you that I was a skeptic. I didn't really think I could do
this, or that it would really help my weight loss. I've
rearranged my evenings, watch a little less TV, and I'm very
careful about getting to sleep on time (well, most of the
time). Getting up at the same time every day has really
helped too. My exercise and weight loss have been very
consistent. Thanks for all the tips."
