Sarah suggests her clients start heading to bed at 7:30 PM. This does not seem like an easy method, even for people like me who should be hitting the hay early because we wake up in the middle of the night to head to work. We just do not seem to have enough hours in the day to head to bed super early. After hearing that bedtime hour, you may agree that this is a bit extreme for most.
A Simple Strategy
Her client's results speak volumes by going to bed at this early hour. Sarah says her clients lose about a pound a week by changing up their bedtime routine. The reality is that when we are sleeping, we are not eating! Seems simple enough, yet it is an effective strategy.
Evening relaxation and socializing usually involve reaching for snacks and unwinding with a glass of wine. If you are struggling with your weight, I can see how the benefits of an early bedtime outweigh the sacrifices. Not only has she successfully curbed her late-night cravings, but she has also found herself waking up feeling refreshed and energized.
Sarah's journey shows us how the power of prioritizing self-care and trying innovative approaches to wellness may help us achieve our goals. Our good sleep habits do not only help with weight management but our health overall.
You have to admit, the habit of late-night snacking, is something that many of us have grown accustomed to. Unfortunately, that habit helped us pile on the pounds over the years. It always seems easier to put the pounds on, than to take the pounds off. Sarah Shah's story challenges us to reconsider the role of sleep in our quest for a healthier, more balanced life.
Kim Kardashian Faces Backlash Over Dramatic Weight Loss
Kim Kardashian made quite the impression at the Met Gala this year, after wearing the dress originally worn by Marilyn Monroe in 1962.
All eyes were on Kardashian, 41, and boyfriend Pete Davidson, 28, as they stepped out together as the last to arrive at the 2022 Met Gala. Kardashian borrowed one of Marilyn Monroe’s most iconic gowns — the “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress — which has been on display in Orlando, Florida, at Ripley’s Believe It or Not!
“I had this idea to try it on and then they came with armed guards and gloves,” Kardashian told Vogue correspondent La La Anthony on the red carpet, adding that she struggled with getting into the dress. “I tried it on and it didn’t fit me. I said, ‘Give me three weeks.’ I had to lose 16 pounds.”
“It was such a challenge. It was like a [movie] role. I was determined to fit it,” the SKIMS founder continued. “I haven’t had carbs or sugar in about three weeks. We’re having pizza and donut party back at the hotel.”
Now, she’s facing backlash online, with many criticizing her for discussing her extreme diet.
Nicola Dall’Asen wrote a piece for Allure, saying that Kim's comments stated that “drastic weight loss isn’t just possible; it’s easy, and it’s glamorous."
Dall’Asen also wrote that “there’s nothing inherently wrong with losing weight itself or wanting to lose weight... it’s the insistence that such drastic weight loss is an attainable goal that is worrisome here.”
