Sleep is the final priority when it comes to fat loss.
The aim should be to get between 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
'Yeah right' I hear you say!
For those of you with young children or those who may be going through the menopause, this can seen quite challenging.
But this is why prioritising a good night's sleep is important to your fat loss success...
A lack of sleep has been found to trigger increased levels of a hormone called 'Ghrelin'.
Ghrelin is commonly referred to as the hunger hormone and research has shown that people are more likely to snack with greater levels of Ghrelin.
Snacking = calories and often when we are tired we turn to comfort food which contain large amounts of calories (think chocolate, ice cream, pizza etc.).
Therefore, consuming large amounts of calories will be to the detriment of your fat loss goal.
