For example, not getting enough sleep will cause all kinds of problems like:

1. decreased energy,

2. constant cravings for sugary foods (for quick energy),

3. metabolism problems,

4. stress-out feelings and

5. decreased workout performance.

Being “too busy” all the time is not good….sometimes we use it as an excuse to not do the things we should—LIKE EXERCISE! If you aren’t sleeping (resting) enough, you are hindering your health and fat loss goals.

When you wake up during the night because you can’t sleep, you are likely to eat when you should be sleeping. And, you will throw your metabolism “out of wack.”

Researchers have found that the less sleep the test subjects got, the higher their body fat. The shorter sleep time altered the subjects hormone levels, energy decreased and appetite increased. What’s enough sleep? The general rule is 8 hours of sleep a night. Some may need more sleep or a little less than 8 hours. Don’t sabotage your exercise program and fat loss goals by not getting enough shut-eye.

Sleep (rest), recovery (from workouts), healthy nutrition and regular exercise work together to make you fit and healthy.

According to an article in Prevention Magazine:

“Stress activates the fight-or-flight response, the body’s involuntary response to a threat that makes our hearts pound and our breath shorten. Chief among the hormones released during this response is the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol automatically kicks up your appetite, prompting you not only to want to eat huge quantities but especially to want sweets and simple carbohydrates-foods that make insulin levels spike and then plummet, which may leave you feeling hungrier than ever-and eating again, says Prevention advisor Pamela Peeke, MD, MPH, assistant clinical professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore and author of Fight Fat After Forty (Viking Press, 2000). “Stress fat” is also concentrated in the last place you need it: deep in your tummy.”

Just by taking some of Dr. Lucille’s advice (natural, without harmful drugs) you can kick-start your hormonal system back into overdrive.

That’s the best way to end stubborn body fat and reboot your drive at the same time.
