Episode notes
INSIGHT

Sleep and Weight Gain

  • Sleep deprivation can lead to increased calorie consumption and cravings for unhealthy foods.
  • This can result in weight gain even if you're not consciously overeating.
INSIGHT

Sleep, Fat Loss, and Lean Mass

  • Even with controlled calorie intake, more sleep leads to greater fat loss.
  • Less sleep results in more lean body mass loss, even on the same diet.
ADVICE

Consistent Sleep

  • Catch-up sleep on weekends doesn't fully compensate for weekday sleep deprivation.
  • Aim for consistent sleep throughout the week to maximize fat loss and minimize lean mass loss.
