The Best Way to Lose Belly Fat Starting Today
For many people, sleeping with a full stomach or after eating the wrong things before bedtime makes for a poor night's sleep. I know many people who drink an extra glass of wine a little too late in the evening pay for it with restless sleep two or three hours into the night's slumber. Incidentally, researchers have determined that alcohol-related sleep issues are worse for women than men. Keeping triglyceride levels in check. When people eat late, they increase their triglyceride levels, which is the fat found in the blood. High levels of these are thought to increase your risk of heart attacks and stroke.
So it might seem on the surface that if you consume the same number of calories, it might not matter the time of day that you consume them. But there are a number of additional factors involved, such as how eating affects sleep. Different people are going to react differently, and it certainly is something we should all examine for our own health. But the payback from intermittent fasting is something that we don't fully understand, but on the surface does make some sense. Additional testing hopefully will tell us much more.
Lose weight! Doctor's orders! The pressure was now on you to address those "unhealthy" 15-20 pounds that had amassed in your post-athletic years and into middle age. Perhaps your weight during those years had waffled up and down, the up cycles corresponding to the amount of ice cream you ate during the week. You had never felt the need to involve yourself in a weight loss program. You did have friends, family, and acquaintances who had participated in formal programs such as Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc.
while some others got involved with "diet of the day" programs focusing on low-fat, low-carb, high-carb, low-protein, high-protein, pill and formula supplements, body wrapping, etc. The list goes on. Referrals from your inner circle probably surprised you. For many, the programs worked. They lost weight. But, for the vast majority, they either quickly gained the weight back or hit a weight-loss "plateau" short of their goal, not able to lose any more. For another large group, the first program they tried didn't work, so they jumped from program to program. In many cases, they found none that worked. Why is that? All these programs promised success in their promos.
