Alkaline Diet

Yegyan

I am a nutritionist that focuses on natural weight loss and I use three separate and natural functions of the body to restore the metabolism to an anabolic form where it breaks down fat and increases lean muscle.

The three parts are hydration, oxygenation and hormone balance.

I found that sleep makes a major contribution to all three.

Sleep, deep sleep is almost completely underestimated and underutilized. Most cellular regenration occurs during sleep and deep sleep.

Growth hormone and other anabolic hormones are mostly secreted during deep sleep. Fat IS BURNED DURING SLEEP!

A lot of your body is built during sleep.

Sleep, especially deep sleep.

When there is a prolonged period of sleep deprivation and also dieting, there is a hormone called cortisol that gets secreted a lot. This causes a catabolic effect on the body. It also causes the blood to get acid.

Restoration of deep sleep and recovery from sleep deprivation restores this hormone and all others.

This was so profound that I now start my clients on a sleep diet first.

You can even take your pH readings before and after a GOOd nights sleep with lots of deep sleep. The ph will go up in the morning.

Get rest and relaxation.

Stress, over long periods of time cause fat storing hormones to be released and these cause excess acidity.

Go on a sleep diet. Sleep earlier rather than sleeping in. When you sleep when you are dead tired, a lot of your sleep is spent recovering from stress. Sleep when you have mental energy and are feeling good. You will go to deep sleep faster and longer.

Continue the sleep diet until you wake up feeling refreshed and fully rested. It is a very distinct and noticeable phenomenon.

It is far easier to keep your ph balance when you are rested.

I love this post- I can feel the truth in what you are saying. Can you say more about your "sleep diet''? Also, any recommendations for a pattern of waking up (around 3am) and unable to go back to sleep?

I didnt realize it until i read it here but it makes much sense about sleep and weight.
I am battling my weight and I just was stressed to the max and not sleeping, things have improved but now when I sleep i dont feel like i slept at all.
Does that make any difference as well?
meaning if i sleep 6, 7, 8 or 10 hours, i only feel like i slept for moments.
And i wake feeling exhausted.
I cant go back to sleep as i have kids to get on buses to school.
So, will the body reconize the amount of hours you slept or does it depend on how you feel when you wake?
Thanks for this thread,
Angela

When you are in the state you are in there are a few things that need to be deterimend to give you specific recomendations.

But here is where to start:

If you are very stressed and over an extended period of time, you will have elevated levels of cortisol. This wil prevent you from sleeping.

Cortisol will also deplete you or potassium. This will cause your muscles to get tense. This will lead to hyper-tension.

This imbalance will start a cycle of imbalance with your mineral content. You will lose magnesium as well and also lose calcium in your urine.

There is a long list I give my clients which is an insomnia checklist. I need it for my weight loss clients that cannot sleep or sleep deeply.

The key is to lower the levels of cortisol.
Here are some of the major things to do.
Eliminate stimulants and sugar and refined carbohydrates.
Eat raw foods which are high in potassium
Eat at least 6 times a day (small meals)
Do not do any intense exercise. Intense exercise is exercise that elevates your heartrate above your max aerobic threshold (this is on my site)
Eat a high protien breafast.
It is not so much sleeping more than 8 hours. Sleep earlier. 8 hours when going to bed at 10 pm is different than 8 hours going to bed at 3 am.
Get a magnesium supplement like "Natural Calm" Drink this before bed
Your feeling like you are not getting enough sleep is a mineral imbalance causing your muscles to remain very tense throughout sleep and you are losing the hormonal benefit of sleep. the greatest amount of growth hormone is during deep sleep (other than intense exercise)
you are welcome to contact me directly so i can give you a more specific set of insturctions
