Is An Unstable Schedule Destroying Your Ability To Lose Weight?
There is a clock inside of your body that controls many different processes
. And weight loss is one process it has a tight grip on.
And to make matters worse, it can also increase feelings of hunger.
So here is how to have a more stable clock for better weight loss and quality of life:
1. Use a light box: Or you can get natural sunshine every day which is not feasible for most people. You see, natural sunshine or a light box hits your pineal gland and stabilizes your internal clock. The key here is to get high intensity light.
2. Exercise at the same time: By exercising at the same time every day you provide a powerful anchor for your biological clock. If possible, try to exercise a couple hours after breakfast for the best results. This habit will help you sleep better.
3. Don't have a haphazard sleep schedule: Waking up at different times every day is a horrible way to live because it will cause your body to not entrain. You see, you want to wake up at the same time so that your biological clock has the greatest chance for stabilization.
4. Readjust your caffeine consumption: If you are a heavy caffeine user you have probably become desensitized to its effects. So take a couple weeks to reduce intake to almost nothing. Then, slowly reintroduce the smallest amount possible for the desired effect.
5. Decrease the temperature: By decreasing the temperature of your room before falling asleep, you will make the transition much easier. You see, lower temperatures help you get tired and help you fall asleep faster. Just make sure you don't overdo it or you will wake up shivering.
6. Reduce the size of your last meal by half: Doing this will accelerate the process of late-day metabolic slow down. And a slower metabolism will translate into deeper sleep and less issues falling asleep. Now keep in mind that a stable sleep/wake cycle is the best thing for your biological clock.
You deserve to have a stable schedule so that you can achieve maximum vitality and maximum weight loss. All you have to do is act on this information!
