Hello Dear One!

Ok, does the answer to this sound beyond obvious?

Eat less and ignore your body’s signals?

Well the surprising truth to the answer (BESIDES getting your body in a Fat Burning mode – where we DO also tend to this element) is to IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR SLEEP.

 

When we have less sleep, poor quality sleep, disrupted sleep – hormones like Leptin lower (helps us to feel more satisfied on less food and for our body to release fat comfortably), while hormones like Cortisol and Ghrelin raise (increasing hunger, blood sugar and with it Insulin = Fat Storing hormone).

This results is us being HUNGRIER and more predisposed to WEIGHT GAIN.

One hormone that can majorly help with better sleep overall is Melatonin.

I’ve been talking about sleep with my Fat Burners ALWAYS, and Melatonin as a useful addition recently.

 

Check out more about USANA’s Pure Rest here.

 

Melatonin is a hormone that assists with deep sleep.

Our Pineal Gland releases it and releases it in response to DARKNESS.

When we have LOADS of light in our eyes when the sun is down, and especially BLUE LIGHT from screens close to bed – it can MESS with our Pineal Gland.

All that light can make that gland think it’s daytime and NOT the time to be releasing Melatonin and winding down.

So what to do?

Limit blue light before bed.

Limit light in your BEDROOM.

Wear a eye mask in bed to further black out your experience so you can allow MORE Melatonin to be released and deeper sleep to be realized.

AND potentially adopt a bedtime ritual that involves less blue light (30 min to an hour would be great), as WELL as possibly adding in a Melatonin supplement to the mix.

I’ve been crowing about USANA’s for the last several months as I feel like it enables me to fall asleep quickly and deeply.

It has even helped to even out a less than ideal sleep schedule when staying up late and enabling me to sleep in later.

So if you do wish to help yourself in a pretty passive way in the fat loss and increased appetite departments – looking to the amount of light AND taking Melatonin nightly might be a useful thought.

AND if you’d like to approach a different reality around increased hunger and weight – please consider getting your body into a Fat Burning mode.

These are two key attributes of Sugar Burning that Fat Burning changes (while ALSO minding your sleep).
