Sleep well to loose weight

By now you've probably heard that getting enough quality sleep is important for losing stubborn flab like belly flab...

...but that's usually where the discussion ends.
These are the words of Rob Poulos, one of our fitness experts.

Today we're going to look at why it's so important, and what to do about it if
you're having trouble getting enough sleep.

A recent study published in the 'Annals of Internal Medicine' took 10 overweight
volunteers who where dieting for four weeks.

For the first 2 weeks they averaged about 7.5 hours of sleep. For the second 2
weeks they averaged only about 5.5 hours of sleep.

When they got adequate sleep in first 2 weeks, about 50% of their weight loss
was fat (3.1lbs)...

...but when they were sleep-restricted the amount of weightloss that was fat
dropped to 20% (1.3lbs)!

That might not seem like a lot in terms of pounds, but that's about a 55% drop
in fatloss!

Grow that over a few more weeks and now you're looking at terribly SLOW fatloss
results by skipping on sleep.
