Struggling to lose weight even when you're eating well?
It might not be your food—it could be your sleep.
When we don’t get enough rest, our bodies produce more cortisol (the stress hormone), which can trigger cravings for sugar and carbs and slow down fat loss. But did you know your body actually burns fat while you sleep?
That’s right—rest is not lazy, it’s biblical.
📖 “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” — Psalm 4:8
God didn’t design us to hustle 24/7. He designed rest to restore us.
💤 So tonight, give yourself permission to wind down, sleep well, and trust that your body was made to heal.
