Slimming DOWN YOUR WEIGHT-LOSS HABITS

Is dieting and exercising weighing on your mind every day? Here are 5 habits that may be the reason why your scale is hanging in the balance

1 EAT. WORK. REPEAT 

A 2022 research article in the Nutrients journal, mentions how we're increasingly sleep deprived - sleeping only 5-6 hours a night instead of the required 8-10 hours. Sleep deprivation negatively impacts your brain's capacity and decision-making skills, so you end up choosing more high-energy foods filled with sugars and saturated fats. Much like how you turn to a good fast-food meal on a tired, slow day.

The Remedy:

Have a 'closed kitchen' policy. The longer you're awake, the more time you have to eat. End your eating times at the same time every day. Use that time to unwind and ease yourself into sleeping.
