Sleep patterns affect weight loss


Managing sleep and stress levels can help in the battle against obesity, according to scientists in the US.
Is shedding weight harder while stressed or missing sleep?
People getting too little or too much sleep were less likely to lose weight in a six month study of 472 obese people.
Their report in the International Journal of Obesity showed that lower stress levels also predicted greater weight loss.
A UK sleep expert said people need to "eat less, move more and sleep well".
Approximately a quarter of adults in the UK are thought to be clinically obese, which means they have a Body Mass Index greater than 30. Nearly 500 obese patients were recruited for the first part of a clinical trial by the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in the US. For six months they had to eat 500 fewer calories per day, exercise most days and attend group sessions.
Weight loss
The authors report that "sleep time predicted success in the weight loss programme".
People with lower stress levels at the start also lost more weight.

  2. With havin so much written content do you ever run into
    any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has
    a lot of unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any
    ways to help reduce content from being stolen? I'd definitely
    appreciate it.
