How to prevent gaining weight? SLEEP MOOOREEE…. Seriously! Here are the 10 pointers …

Now I have more reason to sleep more than 7 hours a day. Stated in Women’s Health Magazine, -->

“ … women who slept 7 or more hours a night were less likely to put on weight than women who didn't. Those who slept only 6 hours a night were 12 percent more likely to gain substantial weight—33 pounds on average over the course of 16 years! (Women who slept a measly 5 hours had a 32 percent chance of gaining 30 or more pounds.) Other studies have linked lack of sleep to a higher BMI and have found that it negatively affects levels of the appetite-regulating hormones ghrelin and leptin.”

Check out the Diet Roadblocks! “10 surprising reasons why you aren't losing when you should be--and what you can do about it”

Definitely enlighten me especially the very first pointer!

Psss: Chocolate is a very good friend of FAT – I have to keep that at bay..
