7. Less stress, more sleep
Too little sleep and negative stress can not only spoil your mood, but they also affect your weight because the hunger hormone ghrelin is increasingly released and makes you eat more.
Just one hour less can promote binge Eating and affect your eating habits.
But that’s not all: at the same time, the stress hormone cortisol is increasingly released, which also stimulates the appetite or can also lead to water retention.
Besides, the body tends to store fat reserves in stressful situations – making it much more difficult for you to lose weight. So make sure you have a healthy relationship with sleep and relax.
Summary:
Even though it can be challenging, just because the scale number hasn’t changed in the last few days doesn’t mean you have to overturn your entire plan.
Just keep at it, continue to eat healthily, and get enough exercise. And remember, the goal is losing fat, no muscle, so the scale is not a good progress tracker.
