15 Ways to Lose More Weight While Sleeping

[Music]  hey what's one thing we all want but  don't want to work for it a billion  dollars nope  weight loss bingo and something we all  love that doesn't exactly help that goal  sleep two for two you're on a roll so  let's do the impossible and combine them  lose weight while you sleep first thing  you'll need to do boost your metabolism  you know how some people can eat  whatever they want skip the gym and  still not gain a pound there enviable  magic likely comes down to this  butterfly shaped gland in the neck  called the thyroid it's basically the  powerhouse of your metabolism it sends  out hormones that control how well your  body burns the calories you take in fuel  your body's natural fat burning machine  by giving it what it wants foods rich in  iodine zinc and selenium  those include iodized salt sea weed meat  shellfish and Brazil nuts chug that  water good old h2o gives you a 10 to 30%  metabolic boost especially cold water as  scientific studies show cold water  forces your body to burn more calories  since it has to heat up to get that  water in your belly warmer six to eight  cups of water a day will be enough to  increase your resting metabolism 250  calories a day in other words you'll be  burning fat while resting take cold  showers the same concept works with the  water you're bathing in if it's lower  than 70 degrees Fahrenheit your body  tries to stay warm by producing more  heat this speeds up your metabolism and  you burn more calories but don't take my  word for it  aha you've learned that by now a study  from the National Institute of Health  found that showers below 70 degrees  increase metabolism by 93 percent that  number jumps up to 350 percent when the  water is at 57 degrees start with a  five-minute cold shower and increase  your exposure time by a minute every  week if you can handle  snooze now all these tips will help you  burn calories as you sleep all that jazz  about higher resting metabolism but just  sleeping for eight hours  gets rid of 300 calories on its own plus  when you don't get enough sleep your  body needs more energy since it can't  get it from snoozing it'll look for it  from food your hormonal levels get all  messed up and your body starts producing  more hunger hormone and less fullness  hormone a study took a handful of  healthy adults and asked them to sleep  for just six hours a day for five weeks  the result their resting metabolism  slowed down by eight percent lower the  room temperature when you're cold your  body will need to burn fuel to stay warm  and that fuel is calories so the colder  it is the more calories it'll get rid of  hence the whole cold water thing earlier  the best way to do it is to turn the  thermostat down to 65 degrees while you  sleep your body will be doing all the  work while you're off in dreamland  just be sure you don't put on too many  clothes to stay warm otherwise the only  benefit you'll see is in your electric  bill get yourself that morning  pick-me-up I'm not talking about a full  fat latte with whipped cream hey sounds  good but instead just have a cup of  plain black coffee it can increase your  metabolism and help you burn fat while  lying around that same National  Institute of Health looked at the  effects of caffeine and found that it  increased 29% of fat burn in slimmer  people and 10% in those who had some  extra weight  caffeine goes straight to your nervous  system and orders the fat cells to break  down change the oil not the recipe no  need to give up fried food just switch  your cooking oil to something healthier  like coconut or palm kernel oil research  shows that people who add two  tablespoons of coconut oil in their  breakfast aren't as hungry during lunch  and they have less of an appetite later  in the afternoon these two oils are also  broken down and absorbed quicker into  the body and they help your metabolism  get the job done  to spice things up with your meals add  chilies jalapenos and pepperonis to your  diet these spicy foods contain a  substance called capsaicin that's what  has you reaching for the milk when you  eat super spicy stuff anyway it can help  your metabolism move faster I'm talking  10 extra calories with every meal spicy  foods also decrease your appetite that  slice of spicy pizza for dinner will  make you feel fuller for longer and you  won't get hunger again before bed  seasoned with apple cider vinegar it's  been proven that people who added apple  cider vinegar in their diet  a 200 fewer calories every day that's  because it suppress the part of their  brain that controls appetite so they  didn't feel as hungry it also reduced  the amount of fat buildup in the body so  adding just one tablespoon of apple  cider vinegar in your salad can  kick-start your metabolism and keep it  from slowing down eat carbs your muscles  use them to speed up your metabolism  here's how it goes let's say you're  eating complex carbs that could be a  bowl of whole-grain pasta or oatmeal  your body breaks those carbs down into  sugar to give you energy if that sugar  isn't used it gets stored as fat but if  you're lifting weights the fuel is used  as energy to keep you going  bodybuilders take in about 50 percent  more carbs to fuel their workouts and  their metabolism is 14% faster than  average munch on those proteins your  body burns more calories to process  protein than it does while breaking down  carbs and fats as an example you eat 200  grams of chicken breast it contains 330  calories your body will burn 99 of those  calories just from digesting though if  you were to eat a chocolate bar hmm the  calories would just add up protein also  helps you build muscle which brings me  to my next point hit the gym I know I  know  the idea is to lose weight while you  sleep but hear me out  if protein is an exercise your body  turns it into  so even though consuming protein is  healthy you must control what your body  does with it strength training with  weights or just bodyweight exercises can  make your muscles bigger and tone  muscles burn 50 calories a day when  you're just lying around  besides muscle building do some  high-intensity workouts these are  exercises that are both quick and  powerful training that includes things  like mountain climbers you side to side  hops or squats can help you burn even  more fat long after the workout has  ended one study observed young  overweight men doing high-intensity  workouts for 12 weeks their fat mass  went down by 4 pounds and their belly  decreased by 17 percent doing nothing  and sleeping are great and all but if  you want your body to scorch those  calories while you're lying around  regular workouts will do it besides  you'll have nice toned muscles as a  bonus add fiber to your diet fiber found  in foods like oats berries broccoli  beans and nuts boost metabolism period  maybe you continue to eat unhealthy  foods but you at least combined them  with some beans apples and strawberries  when that fiber enters your digestive  system it prevents your body from  absorbing excess fat foods high in fiber  also take more time to chew so you'll  also feel fuller for longer don't cut  your calories there's a myth that if you  eat fewer calories your body will  jumpstart your metabolism as soon as it  senses food in your stomach well it's  actually the opposite when you don't eat  enough your body slows down it functions  to save energy  then it'll feed on those muscles you  work so hard to build and it'll store  more fat since your body considers fat  and insulator to protect the organs the  trick is to eat enough calories every  day and make sure your diet has plenty  of fiber complex carbs and proteins just  don't let yourself go hungry you don't  have to tell me twice  if you learn something new today then  give the video a like and share with a  friend and here are some other cool  videos I think you'll enjoy
