Sleep Away the Pounds

New research has proven that it is possible to lose weight simply by getting more sleep. Those who average less than 4 hours a night are 75% more likely to be obese than those who get seven to nine hours nightly. Lack of sleep affects hormone levels, which can trigger hunger, slow metabolism and cause the body to store fat. Now bestselling author and nutritionist Cherie Calbom has developed a comprehensive 3-week program that includes a breakdown of the science behind sleep as a weight-loss tool, a low-impact exercise programme and a sleep well menu with tips on what to eat and when. With practical solutions for insomnia and sleep disorders and relaxation techniques to reduce stress, SLEEP AWAY THE POUNDS will empower readers to take control of their health, overcome sleep problems - and help them look and feel better than ever.
