I'm not sure why sleep and water are relevant to weight loss

I was always told that calories in = calories out, so what does this have to do with anything? Don’t I just have to eat as little as possible and burn as much as I can?

Lack of sleep contributes to blood sugar problems.

Also, sleeping does not constitute consumption.

People that remain up late frequently eat or drink at this hour.

Drinking water maintains electrolyte balance and reduces bloating. (As long as your kidneys operate properly.)

Drinking plenty of water also helps to reduce impulsive consumption of sugary drinks.

Read Dr. Mathew Walker’s Why We Sleep.

What would you drink instead of water? Juice? Soda? What would you drink if there were no calories and you wanted to stay hydrated?

Personally, I make better judgements in general (including my dietary choices) and have more energy to be more active when I’m well-rested and hydrated. Yes, it’s all about CICO, but CICO becomes a little easier when the other two things are true.

Sleep is important for the calories out portion of the equation.

Water weight is important for persons who use a scale to monitor their development. It is especially important for consumers to decide whether to stick with their current plan or make more cuts.

A hoover is devoid of all matter. Your body is truly an organic mechanism. If one component fails to function properly, the entire system suffers. good rest/recovery and hydration management are essential for good performance. This will result in more efficient resource consumption overall. Nonetheless, this is an oversimplified explanation.

Yes, technically.

You fluctuate from day to day and hour to hour, however. Water and sleep influence what you store and how you metabolise calories.

And water fills your stomach.

It should go without saying, but my workouts when I get enough sleep are vastly different from when I don’t. Not even substantial changes, such as 6.5 versus 8, are huge.

I’ve heard that sleep influences how your calories are used; when you don’t get enough sleep, you store more calories as fat and spend less energy to grow or maintain muscle.

It’s quite straightforward. You are not hungry when you sleep, but if you sleep late, you may become hungry for midnight snacks.

Drinking more water makes you fuller, so you won’t be hungry as often.

Drinking water and getting a good night’s sleep are also beneficial in other areas of your life, even if you are not trying to lose weight.

Water weighs ~2 pounds per L. Many people confuse weight changes caused by hydration with actual weight gain or loss.

During sleep, your body heals itself, and you will not feel the urge to eat. Under-sleeping stresses the body and increases appetites. When you are dehydrated, your metabolism slows down. Water also reduces appetite, and when you are dehydrated, your brain may interpret thirst as hunger, causing you to eat rather than drink water. Unnecessary eating will simply add to your calorie consumption. Basically, if you’re rested and hydrated, you’ll eat a lot less and have fewer desires.

Sleep and hydration are incredibly important! Sleep regulates hormones such as cortisol and hunger hormones (ghrelin and leptin), which might affect your appetite when you are sleep deprived. Water promotes digestion, keeps you feeling full, and prevents your body from retaining excess water weight.

Fundamentally, yeah, it’s all about calories, but many of the other bits of advise you’ll see are about controlling your appetite and being healthy while losing weight.

Both sleep and good water intake can assist with hunger, and it’s vital to choose water over other drinks that may contain a lot of calories.

Water contains calories. It keeps you full, and dehydration is sometimes misinterpreted for hunger, allowing people to overeat when they were actually thirsty.

Sleep equals calories out. A regular sleep cycle allows you to burn calories more easily and effectively because of metabolic stability.

Many factors influence calorie intake and expenditure.
