Losing weight is not easy for most people.  It takes dedication, consistency and a willingness to push on despite obstacles.  For most people, losing weight involves completely altering their lifestyle.  However, there is one weight loss tip that is easy to implement and can have a significant impact on your ability to lose weight.

Get more sleep
The benefits of sleeping are well documented.  However, many people do not realize how beneficial sleep is in terms of weight loss.  Studies have shown a significant difference in weight between females who slept an average of 5 hours a day and females who slept an average of 7 hours.  In fact, women who eat less but also sleep less are still more likely to gain weight.

Inadequate sleep causes weight gain for a variety of reasons.  When we don’t get enough sleep, we produce less growth hormone.  Growth hormone is a protein that helps regulate fat and muscle deposits in our body.  As a result, our bodies become more prone to fat increases.

Sleeping has a major impact on our metabolism.  A lack of sleep can cause our body to improperly metabolize carbohydrates which can lead to high glucose levels.  High glucose levels will cause higher levels of insulin in our body which increases the amount of fat that we store.

If you are having difficulty losing weight, you may want to look at your sleeping patterns.  While you may be consistent with your diet, a lack of sleep can severely reduce the effectiveness of even the best diets.
