4. Sleep More
Sleep is one of the best ways to lose fat and is often overlooked. Not getting enough quality sleep leads to an increase in cortisol, the hormone that breaks down tissue in the body including muscles. This brings down your metabolism, meaning your body burns energy poorly and you gain weight. Not getting enough sleep also causes fatigue. When you’re fatigued your body makes you eat more to keep your energy levels up. Do your best to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night.
