Limited Sleep May Affect Body Fat Loss - say Better Health research

Better Health Research have reported that not getting enough sleep may prevent optimal weight loss results, according to findings published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.

"Over the course of one month, a total of 10 people aged 35 to 49 who were considered obese followed a low-caloric diet. Researchers then had participants follow two different sleep regimens for two weeks – eight and a half hours and five and a half hours."

"The results of the study showed that throughout the first phase, individuals lost more than 3 pounds of body fat. However, when their sleep was restricted, they only lost approximately 1 pound of body fat."
