Sleep more to slim

Read a newspaper article that the more a person sleeps, the slimmer the person gets. WOW! It states that a person's awake hours will be reduced so the body do not need to function (move around) that much and hence, reduce the need for food (or junk food). It sounds logical and I have read similiar articles concerning this. By sleeping, the body goes into rest mode and do not need that much energy.

Even though many times it has to do with personal discipline, I have also read it somewhere that when a person feels hungry, it may not be hunger, it could be thristy. Hence, try to take a glass of water and if 10 to 20 minutes later the person still feels hungry, then feel free to eat. Hence, we do have any extra food intake.

Another article suggest that if we want to slim down, we can take a glass of water before meals. Because the water will fill some capacity in the stomache, then let food fill the rest. This way we can prevent ourselves from overeating.
