RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

How much sleep are you getting every night? If not enough, it may be the reason you're not seeing any results from exercise/nutrition. Lack of rest causes:

1) Increased levels of body fat producing hormone cortisol.

2) Decreased levels of human growth hormone which helps us recover from exercise & our day.

3) Increased levels of ghrelin hormone which increases appetite.

4) Decreased levels of leptin which suppresses appetite.
