Can you burn fat while you are asleep? It is known to all that to lose weight, dieting and exercising are crucial. But what if we say that you can shed kilos even while sleeping, provided you follow some easy tricks.
You might be wondering how this is possible. Well, the answer lies in understanding how your body works and how it loses weight.
When you eat food, the body stores it in different forms such as glycogen, glucose, or fat. If you have a high carb diet with low fat intake, then your body will primarily store all these calories as glycogen or glucose; however, if your diet consists of low carbs with higher amounts of fats like omega-3 fatty acids from fish oils or nuts then most of the calories will be stored as fat reserves for future use rather than burning them off immediately for energy needs.
During sleep time when there are no activities taking place in your body except for breathing and heartbeat then there are fewer calories burned from these processes compared to other daily activities such as walking around doing chores around the house etcetera which burns more calories than sleeping.
