Is it possible to burn fat while sleeping? Yes it is definitely possible to burn fat while you sleep and I have a couple tips that I’d like to give you that will help you burn more fat while sleeping.
However, I don’t want you to think that sleeping is going to be your fat burning solution because sleeping alone will definitely not be a major contributor to the fat loss process.
The tips that I provide will help increase the quality of your sleep and in turn will help increase the amount of fat that you burn while you sleep, but make no mistake you’re always going to be burning way more fat when you’re awake.
When you’re awake your body has to work harder just to stay awake not to mention all the other ways you expend energy when your active.
Even if you’re just sitting there twiddling your thumbs you’re burning more calories than when you’re asleep.
With that being said, if you get an adequate amount of sleep you’ll be sleeping over 50 hours every week and we want to make every one of those hours count towards losing belly fat or fat loss in general.
The first thing that you could do to ensure you’re burning the maximum amount of calories while you’re sleeping is get enough sleep.
Tip #1 – Sleep
The most common recommendation is to get 8 hours of sleep. However, a lot of people have a tough time doing that, either because of work or other responsibilities 8 hours of sleep every night of the week is sometimes hard to do.
Some recommend that it’s even better to get 9 hours of sleep, but at minimum I would say you need to get at least 6.
Do your best to shoot for the 8 hours of sleep as much as you can.
There was a study done on two groups of people.
One group got very little sleep and the other group got adequate sleep.
The group that did not get enough sleep ended up losing the same exact amount of weight as the group they did get enough sleep.
However the group that did not get enough sleep actually lost a lot more muscle mass, which means the group that got its sleep ended up losing more body fat.
This could be attributed to a number of different factors including optimal hormone production from getting enough sleep, the intensity of their workouts and getting the proper recovery from those workouts.
This means that the opposite is true from not getting enough sleep.
Your muscles won’t be recovering as much and you could even lose muscle mass.
Your hormones will be out of whack especially if you’re not getting enough sleep.
What will happen is that you’re leptin levels will go down and your ghrelin levels will go up which will make you hungrier throughout the day.
The last thing that’ll happen if you don’t get enough sleep is your performance in the gym will suffer which will lead you to burning less fat during your workouts and you’ll build less muscle.
So just make sure you’re trying to get an average of 8 hours of sleep per day.
According to the American Sleep Institute 49% of men are suffering from a condition called Catabolic Sleep...
Which happens overnight. When your body releases a dangerous poison into your bloodstream…
Cutting your testosterone in half, shrinking your muscle size, and crushing your sex-drive…
Regardless of your age.
This overnight poison is called cortisol.
Also known as the “death hormone”, cortisol can force your body into a CATABOLIC COMA.
Causing issues every man dreads... like low-t, erectile dysfunction, chronic fatigue, strength loss, and “muscle wasting”… again, this can all happen while you sleep.
However, you can banish Catabolic sleep FOREVER!
Here's a simple pre-bed routine so powerful, it kills night-time cortisol and fixes catabolic sleep.
So that you can explode your testosterone levels, stimulate muscle growth by 71%, and boost sexual performance on command… every single night.

Tip #2 – Nutrition
The next thing you can do to burn more fat while you sleep is have a high protein meal with some healthy fats right before bed.
A lot of people will get hungry right before bed.
My recommendation is to have either a high protein meal or a protein shake preferably made from a slow digesting protein like casein and you can also combine it with some healthy fats.
Not only will this fill up your stomach and take the edge off of your hunger, but it will also help you build more muscle while you sleep and boost your metabolism while it digests.
The fat will further slow digestion increasing the amount of calories you burn while you sleep.
You can do this with fat and protein, but try to avoid carbohydrates right before bed when trying to burn fat while you sleep.
Almost every diet out there relies on ketosis for fat loss! So...
How exactly do you get into ketosis? Simple!
All you have to do is eat the keto recipes in this brand new FREE cookbook called:
Carbs are used for energy and are preferred by your body over fat, so if you give your body carbs right before bed your body can either use them or store them.
It definitely will not be using your fat stores for energy when given the choice between carbs and fats.
When trying to burn fat, I recommend that you cut out carbohydrates (except for green vegetables) five to six hours before bed or simply do a ketogenic diet for faster fat loss.
By cutting your carbs your body will be a lot more inclined to break down and use body fat while you sleep rather than carbohydrates coming from your diet.
Now I do realize for some permanent ketosis can be difficult and not fun, OR realistic for anybody to follow long term, which is exactly why there’s a new, upgraded version that produces rapid results in only 14 days.
It’s called, The “Targeted” Keto Diet and people have used it to drop pounds of unwanted belly flab, WITHOUT avoiding carbs, desserts, or alcohol.
It all started by eating these 4 SUPER FATS at the right time over a very short 14 day period (a few of them are probably in your kitchen right now.
Tip #3 – Darkness and Temperature
The last things you can do to burn more fat while sleeping is to sleep in total darkness and keep the temperature colder.
Sleeping in total darkness has been shown to release the hormone melatonin, which can aid in the production of calorie-burning brown fat and as far as sleeping in colder temperatures, it’s been shown in multiple studies that just by turning your thermostat down to 66 degrees you could burn significantly more fat while you’re sleeping.

WHAT’S NEXT?
As I mentioned above, the ketogenic diet is really popular this year and for good reason.
The ketogenic diet is the hottest diet of 2018 because it helps you quickly lose stubborn fat… it reduces fat storing inflammation… it helps you live longer and avoid today’s most deadly diseases.
But there are several problems that accompany a “traditional” high fat keto diet:
- You like to eat carbs?….You are out of ketosis.
- Want to eat some healthy, ripe fruits that are in season?….You are out of ketosis.
- Too much protein in that delicious steak or baconyou just ate?….You are out of ketosis.
- Want to have a glass (or two) or red wine, a few beers, or cocktails? You guessed right….You are out of ketosis.
Bottom line:
Permanent ketosis is not healthy, fun, OR realistic for anybody to follow long term, which is exactly why there’s a new, upgraded version that produces rapid results in only 14 days
