The Most Passive Way to Lose Weight
Aug 18, 2023
Hello Dear One!
Are you interested in weight loss involving less effort or what might feel like restriction??
If you'd like to amp up your results by doing LESS - this is the HOT TIP for you!
GO TO BED EARLIER.
For real.
Get to bed by 10 pm ideally, by 9 pm optimally, and by 10:30 at latest.
For real for real.
This is SUCH a useful weight loss hack it's crazy.
The reason why it's so consequential is when we get into a deep slumber earlier in the night we get to take FULL advantage of Human Growth Hormone and all the weight loss properties it has.
HGH gets released in surges throughout the night but some CRUCIAL things to note are:
- you need to be in deep sleep to receive HGH
- it takes an hour from lights out and sleeping to achieve deep sleep
- HGH happens at CERTAIN TIMES (not all the time) and the party starts to ramp up at 10pm, and hit a HIGH POINT at 11pm
- the highest spikes of HGH happen between 10pm and 12:30am
- insulin inhibits HGH so make sure you finish your last meal 2-3, Ideally 4 hours, before you head to bed
This is a great podcast that will also reinforce the connection between sleep and HGH.
Those are the facts.
How to help yourself get to bed earlier?
#1. EAT EARLIER
This is probably the biggest hinderance for most.
When you're eating LATE it's hard to comfortably get to bed by 10, let alone 9.
Making a point to eat on the earlier side of things will help your weight loss (and digestion!).
Another way to make this feel easier, is to make your main meal happen earlier in the day.
Sometimes my Fat Burners do this depending on the day (and it doesn't have to be every day to create benefit).
I do this most days, and as someone who only eats once a day (like several of my Fat Burners) it makes more sense to eat earlier.
Other things to help the effort?
We all need to wind down after our day.
A bedtime ritual (that doesn't involve staring into our phones) can be really calming and soothing.
Brushing your hair, having a bit more of a skin care routine than usual, reading a book, folding/laying out clothes for the next day...
PLUS a useful way to hit whatever desired time mark you're aimed at is to start to get ready an HOUR before you intend to be sleeping.
Maybe this is obvious for everyone else but it was a surprise for me to need to allocate that extra margin in order to keep my commitment.
Making a point to not be looking at a screen 30+ min before you wish to be asleep is super helpful as the blue light is activating and will make it harder to fall asleep.
And lastly to make FALLING ASLEEP, and staying asleep, EASIER incorporate:
- a DARK room (no TV's, or lights in or coming into your room)
- an eye mask to block any unavoidable light
- ambient noise (I love listening to a wave machine most nights)
- NO disturbance in your bed (pets, children, snoring spouse = sorry, figure THAT out as your sleep is IMPORTANT)
That's it!
And PS: if you need some straight up support for improved SLEEP and enhanced ENERGY throughout the day - stay tuned next week.
