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.
Those two pounds she promises, however, will be lost water weight rather than fat. That's not necessarily a bad thing -- as we've previously reported, water weight loss is an important step toward total weight loss -- but it does make the overnight promise less meaningful.esearch shows that losing sleep can lead to weight gain, but there isn't really a relationship between sufficient sleep (defined as 7.5 to 9.5 hours) and weight loss. The Overnight Diet, however, is not the first to make this logical leap.
