Does lack of sleep make you fat?

I mean like you gain fat and lose muscle? I get that lack of sleep it raises cortisol and gherlin which make you want to binge-eat but what if you just eat at maintenance while sleep deprived with macros and lifting scheduele on point?

I have noticed I look a bit more puffy when I haven't slept properly.

It can over time. Throws off your hormones. You're awake longer, so you're potentially more likely to eat more.

I would image that at some point lack of sleep affects your basal metabolic rate just due to being tired all the time so you have less energy through the day, burning less calories.


What's causing your lack of sleep?

Thereโ€™s evidence that chronic lack of sleep can contribute to metabolic disorders that can lead to increased fat gain.

It throws off your hormones, chemical balance, so while not directly makes you fat, it makes you less efficient at burning energy, so you store more in the form of fat.

Makes all the bad stuff more likely to happen, just like you're more likely to get sick after several bad nights of sleep in a row.

Do you think if you get 30 bodybuilders and they do every thing right like diet, training etc but donโ€™t sleep they are still gonna be 18% bodyfat after a 16 week cut?

Lack of sleep turns you into a soy boy faster than being a soy boy.

I guess long term lack of sleep causes a decrease in test which will in turn affect your body comp

It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven."

Probably, I've read that before. I only know a few people that sleep little, and they all tend to have a more difficult time keeping their weight down.

Not nearly as much as lack of discipline does.
