The Top Five Ways to Teach Your Body to Burn More Fat
By JJ Virgin
#3 Sleep Deep
Failure to get the recommended 7-9 hours of quality sleep consistently creates a hormonal chaos in your body. You become less insulin sensitive which means fasting insulin may be higher than it should be which can block fat burning. You have more ghrelin around(the hormone produced by the stomach when it is empty to signal hunger to your brain) and thus you are hungrier. And your cortisol levels are higher which can lower serotonin, which can make you crave sugar and carbs. Don’t steal from sleep, make it your number 1 health and weight loss priority.
