The words, "You snooze, you lose," have never been truer. Research suggests that fewer zzzs you get, the more likely you are to pack on the pounds. In fact, a recent study shows that those who average less than 4 hours a night are nearly 75 percent more likely to be obese than those who log 7 to 9 hours nightly. Even people who get 6 hours of sleep a night are about 25 percent more apt to be obese. The fact is, lack of sleep affects hormone levels, which can trigger hunger and tell the body to slow down the metabolism and store fat unnecessarily. What's more, when we're exhausted, our body's ability to process sugar drops by about 30 percent--leaving us not just worn down, but at a significantly higher rise of developing type II diabetes. Cherie Calbom has developed a groundbreaking program to harness the power of sleep for optimum weight loss. Perhaps the most doable diet ever, Calbom's 3-week program combines: * A breakdown of the science behind sleep as a weight loss aid * Strategies for getting more and better sleep--including solutions for insomnia and sleep disorders * Relaxation techniques to improve mood and reduce stress and make your nights more restful * A sleep-well menu program that tells you what to eat and when to eat it for optimum shut-eye… (more)
