5 Reasons Why Sleep Is Important for Fat Loss

2. Sleeping early prevents late-night snacks.

Eating late-night snacks causes our metabolism to keep functioning when it should be relaxing, resulting in the calorie intake being stored as fat. It may also not help us with getting a good night’s sleep. However, eating a low-calorie snack may not do any harm.

What to do:

• Eat dinner 2 hours before going to bed.

• If you really feel hungry after dinner, don’t eat sugary foods. Instead, grab some fruit, low-fat yogurt, or some carrots.
