The other day I woke early – 6am.

I got up, went for a wee, then stepped on the scales.

The previous day had been a good one. I’d eaten foods that I knew to be good for my metabolism, and I’d done some exercise too.

I know my body’s reactions to food and exercise pretty well, and I’d usually expect to see about 300g of weight loss after a day like that.

BUT NOT THIS TIME!

Frustratingly, my weight was exactly the same as the previous day.

Not the end of the world, but a bit annoying.

It was a Sunday, and I’d had a late night, so I went back to sleep until 8am, then got up, went for another wee, then stepped on the scales again.

300g down!

The lesson here – SLEEP IS IMPORTANT FOR WEIGHT LOSS!

In studies, sleep deprivation has been shown to impede weight loss.

Even just a couple of hours less than normal upsets the usual metabolic chemistry of your body, making it difficult to break down fat.

The typical person trying to lose weight will be doing the obvious stuff:

-cutting down on cake,

-getting in an extra visit to the gym.

And often those things get the scales moving in a downwards direction.

But sometimes they don't.

And that leads to frustration.

You tell yourself that you’re doing something wrong.

And you try harder.

Or you give up.

But sleep really does matter, and so simply getting 8-9 hours a night could be the difference between diet frustration and diet success!

That’s why, when you download my free guide to 5 Things To Get In Order BEFORE You Start Your Diet, you’ll see that prioritising sleep is on one of the things I suggest.
