Obesity Caused by Poor Sleep Quality

Here's an item of interest for all those overweight poor sleepers.
You might be doing things the wrong way round!


At a recent seminar for sleep technicians at the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research in Sydney Australia I was surprised to be informed that sleep apnea may cause obesity. Like many others, I always believed that obesity may be the cause of obstructive sleep apnea so I was quite surprised to find out it is thought to be the other way round.

Not that long ago I had a client inform me that he was trying to tackle the problem the other way around. Being obese and troubled by sleep apnea he couldn't find the energy to exercise. He tried for many years to lose weight but only got into a "yo-yo" rhythm and didn't really achieve anything. He was determined that this time it would be different.

Firstly he resolved his sleep apnea issue and was then able to rise in the morning feeling fresh and "full of beans" ready for a 4 kilometre power-walk. He did this at least 3-4 times a week. He also developed healthier eating habits by eating smaller quantities earlier in the day and less or nothing at least 5 hours before retiring for the evening. He was going to leave behind the general public's belief that in reducing body weight the sleep apnea would also disappear.

It is thought that people that suffer from sleep disturbances also often suffer from poor eating habits, irregular sleeping patterns and have less that 5 hours sleep per night. They also eat more hence often carrying additional unnecessary kilos. Tests have shown that your body is burning calories up to 22 hours after exercising, even while you sleep.

To break the cycle you may tackle it the other way around this time and try:

- getting a good, regular sleep first and waking up rested and ready for the new day

- some exercise 3-4 times a week

- eating healthier, a more reasonable quantity and perhaps nothing 4-5 hours prior to going to sleep

- drinking a lot of water during the day

However if you already have obstructive sleep apnea you may need to address this first and obtain the necessary information for successful treatment. You may go to my articles archive for suggestions and alternatives.

How To Burn 1000 Calories A Day Without Burning Out

Losing weight has been a battle for everyone, particularly for overweight individuals. That is why a lot of people have incorporated workouts and training to be able to shed those unwanted pounds. But sometimes, however you try to lose weight, you may feel that working out is futile, especially when you're unable to lose a single pound. Below are ways on how to burn 1000 calories a day that you can incorporate in your workout regimen.

Lift an extra weight
If you are lifting weights or using gym equipments, make sure to elevate your exercise routine up to 6%. If you normally lift 10 lbs weights, you could increase the weights for up to 12 lbs and so on. The increase in weights is an ingenious way on how to burn 1000 calories a day. This is because your body will exert more effort to resistance and therefore lose more calories during the course of your routine.

Clockin' the Cardio
Cardio routines are always considered to be a great way to lose weight. However, if you only run twice a week with only a few short laps, you will only get a mere warm up and not the desired calorie-shedding result. So up your jogging routine into 4 to 5 times a week with longer laps. Added to that, you can run using the treadmill so that you can calculate the amount of calorie that you are shedding. Remember that to be able to lose a single pound, you should be able to lose up to 3000 calories a week.

Day and Night Shift
Lastly, you can exercise twice a day with one morning exercise and one night exercise. These are great ways on how to burn 1000 calories a day because you are incorporating two exercise routines in one day. For example, go jogging or swimming in the morning before going to work. And at night after work, you can spend an hour or two in the gym for your cardio and toning. Be sure to incorporate a light routine such as jogging, brisk walking or swimming with hardcore training so that your body won't burn out.

You CAN lose weight, shed pounds EASY and FAST! Weight loss doesn't have to be complicated, boring or even hard.

Want to Get Quicker Weight Loss? Here's 2 Surefire Tips That Will Shed Pounds Off in No Time!

Are you frustrated with dieting over and over again and never seem to be able to get quicker weight loss? Well, the following 2 tips are sure to help you out with getting that dream body you want... and deserve! Read on to learn more.

1.) A Chemical In Your Body That Stores Fat? Listen, I'm quite certain that you don't need me to tell you that life is very stressful these days! Well, the problem is that if you are trying to get in shape, being under too much stress can in fact cause you more problems than good. The reason why is due to the fact that while under stressful situations, the body releases a chemical called cortisol, and if too much of this chemical is released, then it will be stored... as fat... and more likely around the belly area!

To help relieve stress, I highly recommend that you do stretching exercises, tension relieving exercises (heavy bag boxing, shadow boxing, martial arts, deep breathing exercises, etc.), and also ensure that you don't do ineffective and complicated diets. Fad diets (low calorie, low fat, low carb, etc.) are the types of diets that are extremely difficult to stick to (and don't even work by the way), and therefore will be nothing but extra stress that you do not need.

2.) Eating More Will Get Quicker Weight Loss? You see, for so long I found myself getting tangled up with those crazy fad diet programs thinking that they are the only solution for getting in the best shape possible. Consequently, I had to learn that they are VERY ineffective and will only bring about side effects (loss of energy, digestive problems, and once you lose weight and then stop the diet... you regain it all the weight back)!

Once I came across a much more effective diet program, and stayed relentlessly consistent with it, I ended up with the body of my dreams... in 8 weeks... and my results have been completely permanent!

What was the diet based on? It was based on eating ALL types of nutrients more frequently through out the day (4 meals instead of the typical 2 or 3), and it was based on a secret fat burning trick called "shifting calories" that caused my metabolism to soar to the highest peak! The end result was 52 pounds dropped, 4 inches lost off the waist, and belly fat melted away... in 2 months!

Bottom line, you CAN get the body of your dreams, and you DO NOT have to do anything that is complicated, unnatural, expensive, or so called "popular" in order to get in shape. What I recommend you do is focus on lowering stress and get yourself on a natural diet that is based on getting complete proper nutrition and boosting your metabolism. You'll develop a much more healthier and trim body in just weeks from now!

So, if you want to Melt Away Belly Fat FAST and drop 9 pounds EVERY 11 DAYS, then I highly recommend the "calorie shifting diet" from Fat Loss 4 Idiots.

I lost an amazing 52 lbs. of fat in 2 months using this popular online diet plan... and it all stayed off FOR GOOD! This diet works so well because it is based on skyrocketing your metabolism by eating REAL foods. NO starvation, NO cravings, NO diet pills... just 100% natural and very EASY dieting!
