Sleep plays key role in weight loss and maintenance
TORONTO — Adequate sleep is a key component to dieting and maintaining a healthy weight, a growing body of scientific research suggests.
In a commentary published in this week’s Canadian Medical Association Journal, two obesity researchers argue that the old formula — energy in must be lower than energy out — is too simplistic.

Met Caroline, she is one of my favorite bloggers. You probably saw her pictures on tumblr, that’s how I actually found out about her. She may seem like a “normal person” but actually she is such an inspiration to me.
People don’t believe me that you can eat low carb and adopt that lifestyle? This girl is on LCHF diet aka eating 20-40 carbs a day, and she eats like that for more than 1.5 years. Also her husband too.
Also, I often hear how meat and high fat food makes you fat. This girls eats bacon, cheese, butter and she still has a six pack. How is that? Think about it.
Often haters tell me how I actually don’t have energy because I don’t eat a lot of carbs. Her husband is a professional football player and she works out 6-7 day a week for 2 hours. No energy huh?
My point was: I don’t care if you eat 200 or 500 carbs or if you are a vegetarian or vegan, I support that. But don’t hate on my lifestyle just because it’s different. We might have the different hair color of the different height will you hate on me for that too?

FIT TIP
Always be prepared! Keep a bag in your trunk with your workout gear so you have no excuse not to hit the gym after work or school! It’s tempting once you get home to just…well, kick up your feet and not leave! Avoid the temptation by simply keeping what you need handy!
Same goes for snacks. If you carry healthy snacks with you, you will be less likely to turn to a vending machine or the golden arches! Some easy-to-pack snacks include home-made protein bars (there are tons of great, clean recipes online!), greek yogurt, almonds, raw veggies, an apple, individually wrapped natural nut butters, and a protein shake to name a few!
Make your health a priority! Remember, “the food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine, or the slowest form of poison.”
