The amount and quality of sleep you’re not getting may be to blame for stalled weight loss, according to Canadian researchers.

You may be reaching for quick sugary food to help keep you awake.

Research is also looking at the use of technology before bed — ie your kindles, ipads, iphone, etc. The artificial light created may disrupt normal sleep patterns.

Sustaining weight loss over the long term is challenging but not impossible. A higher protein diet offers numerous metabolic advantages that will not only help a person lose weight, but may also prevent regaining pounds, or worse, surpassing your starting weight. Need some protein ideas’ Shoot me an email and I’ll send you a list of lean protein sources.

I hear from so many about salt intake and worrying that they are taking in too much. Recent studies recommend that you should be sticking to around 2,300 mg a day. You shouldn’t be eating salt without restraint— focus on limiting salty processed or restaurant food. Also reduce use or stop your use of the salt shaker. Be sure to eat plenty of potassium-rich fruits and vegetables to balance sodium in the body—but you also shouldn’t be obsessing about keeping your salt intake super low. Your body needs salt to function.
