FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How does stress affect weight loss?
expand_more
Stress increases cortisol, a hormone that promotes fat storage, especially abdominal. It also increases cravings for sugar and fat. Managing stress is therefore essential for effective weight loss. Our articles give you practical techniques.
How many hours of sleep do I need to lose weight?
expand_more
Most adults need 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep. Sleep deprivation disrupts hunger hormones (leptin and ghrelin), increasing appetite and junk food cravings. Improving sleep can significantly accelerate weight loss.
Does meditation help with weight loss?
expand_more
Studies show that meditation and mindfulness reduce emotional eating and improve body awareness. The LOWIS Audio Program uses these principles to help you develop a healthier relationship with food.
How do I manage emotional eating?
expand_more
Emotional eating is managed by first identifying your triggers (stress, boredom, sadness). Then develop alternatives: walking, calling a friend, journaling. LOWIS helps you recognize these patterns and create new responses.
