Losing weight overnight can also be discouraging. For some, it causes loss of hope and emotional eating. If you've ever weighed in the morning and found that you were several pounds lighter than the day before, then this article is for you to reveal causes for losing weight or gaining weight overnight.
One of the most common causes for losing or gaining weight overnight is the amount of water consumed. When you consume more water than you normally do everyday, you feel full much faster. This makes it easier to stick with your normal eating habits, and many times you are unable to stop at your normal meal because you are too full. The problem with this is that if you stop eating one day, you will probably gain back all of the water weight you lost the day before. So, what is the best way to deal with this issue? One way is to reduce your daily intake of water and replace it with other sources such as juices and smoothies.
Many people also struggle with losing weight or gaining weight overnight because they skip breakfast. This is a poor habit to get into because eating something in the morning actually keeps you energized all day long. Many people skip breakfast for the same reason that they skip lunch; they don't have time. For the most part, however, skipping breakfast won't drastically change your lifestyle. In many cases, people only experience minor inconveniences such as being late for work or not feeling up to it when they get home from work. They usually return to their normal routines at dinner.
Another cause of losing or gaining weight overnight has to do with sleep. Many people don't get enough sleep. Studies indicate that a lack of sleep can really affect your health, as well as contributing to weight problems. If you don't get the proper amount of sleep, it becomes more difficult to maintain your weight and keep it off.
A third reason why some people may struggle to lose weight overnight has to do with your calorie intake. Many dieters believe that cutting calories will reduce the fat content in your body, but this is untrue. In fact, your body will begin to burn calories for fuel even if you are not eating any meals. When you consume calories, your body goes into starvation mode. During starvation mode, your metabolism slows down and you will begin to burn more calories than you normally would. A study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that reducing calories burned by dieters was almost equal to the calories eaten by dieters who were consuming three meals per day.
If your diet is lacking in certain nutrients, your body will go into starvation mode which makes it harder for you to lose weight overnight. For instance, if you don't get enough B vitamins, your metabolic rate slows down and you will be able to lose weight. However, the best way to get enough B vitamins is through taking a multi-vitamin supplement. You can also use green tea as a great source of antioxidants. Green tea contains high concentrations of natural compounds called flavonoids and polyphenols that can inhibit the growth of fat cells and contribute to fat loss.
The last reason why some people may not be able to lose weight overnight is because they have lost or damaged their circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are responsible for the natural sleep/food cycle and regulate the amount of calories you consume, as well as how much sleep you need. If you have experienced jet lag or altered your circadian rhythms, you will find it difficult to get back into a normal routine and keep it that way. Many people even find it hard to lose weight overnight as they have been affected by sleep disruption.
One method that is helping people to lose weight overnight is by using blue light therapy. Blue light therapy works by using very low level laser pulses under the skin to help stimulate the body's natural circadian rhythms and to improve its ability to burn off fat. The blue light rays activate the production of melatonin by the pineal gland. Melatonin production contributes to fat burning because it allows the brain to "turn off" the "on" switch that controls hunger.
