Not getting enough sleep can affect your weight? 

1. True
2. False

 Answer: A. Too little sleep triggers a cortisol spike. This stress hormone signals your body to conserve energy to fuel your waking hours.  A University of Illinois study found that when dieters cut back on sleep over a 14-day period, the amount of weight they lost from fat dropped by 55%, even though their calories stayed equal. They felt hungrier and less satisfied after meals, and their energy was zapped.

 

 

Chronic stress can cause weight gain?

2. False

This can lead to insulin resistance, in which the body’s cells no longer respond correctly to insulin. One effect of this is increased abdominal fat and overall weight gain.
