Yes, nutrition matters.โฃ
โฃ
Yes, movement matters.โฃ
โฃ
But SLEEP matters, and itโs often overlooked when it comes to fat loss.โฃ
โฃ
So how does it affect the body?โฃ
โฃ
Lack of sleep affects the hormones.โฃ
โฃ
So when your sleep quality sucks, the hormone leptin decreases. Leptin helps us identify when we are full.โฃ
โฃ
Also, the hormone ghrelin increases. Ghrelin is the hormone that tells us we are hungry. โฃ
โฃ
A combo of leptin decreasing and ghrelin increasing can cause us to overeat!โฃ
โฃ
Hyperpalatable foods become more enticing!๐ช๐๐๐๐ฆโฃ
โฃ
Next is stress levels. ๐ฃโฃ
โฃ
It can negatively affect stress and when we are stressed, our desire to take care of ourselves in our lifestyle choices goes down. โฃ
โฃ
And even if you do decide to workout with lack of sleep, thatโs adding stress on top of stress ๐๐ผโฃ
โฃ
Iโd rather my clients skip their workout with lack of sleep then put their body through EXTRA stress!โฃ
โฃ
Our bodies do not function optimally under stress, so ditch the workout if your sleep sucked!โฃ
โฃ
And it can also cause poor performance and possibly injury when working out with poor sleep quality.โฃ

โฃ
๐๐ผStart by going to bed 15-30 min earlier. โฃ
๐๐ผNo caffeine after 12 pm.โฃ
๐๐ผHave a bedtime routine - like reading or meditating.โฃ
๐๐ผWorkout in the morning instead of the evenings. โฃ
๐๐ผNo screen time an hour before bed.โฃ
โฃ
I know it can be hard for people to get a solid 8 hours every night (especially us parents!)โฃ
โฃ
But any improvement to your sleep quality will help!โฃ
โฃ
You can be hitting your macros, and crushing your workoutsโฆโฃ
โฃ
But if your sleep quality is lacking, then it can stall your results!โฃ
