Alcohol abuse is one of the usual causes of this condition. If you are a heavy alcohol drinker and ages 40 and above, you should consult a doctor if you experience these gallbladder disease symptoms: 1  Irritable bowel syndrome.  Difficulty in digesting fatty foods.
Fat Loss. Despite the weight loss, you don't shed a significant amount of fat as you sleep. A 155-pound person burns about 23 calories in 30 minutes while sleeping, according to Harvard Medical School, which translates to just 368 calories over eight hours. Shedding 1 pound of fat requires a deficit of 3,500 calories, so you can only lose about 1/10 pound of fat after a full night of sleep.
Recent studies have suggested an association between sleep duration and weight gain. Sleeping less than five hours â or more than nine hours â a night appears to increase the likelihood of weight gain. In one study, recurrent sleep deprivation in men increased their preferences for high-calorie foods and their overall calorie intake. In another study, women who slept less than six hours a night or more than nine hours were more likely to gain 11 pounds (5 kilograms) compared with women who slept seven hours a night.
