Myth 1: Sleep, Insulin, and Stress Hormones
Myth: As long as I'm completing 7 to 8 hrs of sleep, it doesn't matter when I sleep. Irregular sleep is not my reason for weight gain.
Reality: They're connected!
- Poor sleep disrupts insulin and stress hormones, increasing disease risk.
- Insulin resistance leads to high blood sugar and stress hormone release.
- Elevated stress hormones disrupt sleep, creating a cycle.
Myth 2: Chronic Calorie Restriction
Myth: Very common to hear people say - I'm eating very less, but I'm not losing weight.Reality: It can harm metabolism and health. It's actually putting the body in chronic stress mode as the basal metabolism is not met with few calories
- Restrictive eating slows metabolism and loses muscle mass.
- Inadequate nutrients cause fatigue, weakness, and poor health.
- Hormones are disrupted, increasing stress and fat storage.
