SLEEP AND WEIGHT...

Did you know that three consecutive nights of bad sleep can increase insulin resistance, meaning you put weight on more easily.

If you sleep less than six hours per night you will want to eat an additional 220 calories per day.

Lack of sleep alters hormone response so you experience hunger more strongly.

I've just got to get my head around this dieting business as my health is being affected by it. I have found out that I am suffering from high blood pressure which I know would benefit from me losing some weight.

The trouble is I've also been suffering from stress which really doesn't help when you are trying to lose weight.

Anyway, I've decided the best route is via the nurse as I did well last time she started weighing me in.

Next Wednesday is 'D.Day' so the fridge will be emptied over the weekend and any chocolate (other than dark as its good for blood pressure) will be eaten.
