The Drs TV: Sleep & Diet Weight Loss
The Doctors and guest Dr Ian Smith shared how scary movies and 100 calorie snacks can help you lose weight in easy ways. Next, they looked at how sleep, when you eat dinner, and photo food journaling can be success tools.
The Doctors: Eight Hour Diet Sleep
What can you do in eight hours to lose weight? How about getting a better night’s sleep? Those who sleep seven or fewer hours each night tend to eat more calories during the day. Learn when to eat dinner and how photo food journaling can help you lose weight.
Did you know there is a connection between sleep and weight? The hunger hormone Ghrelin increases production due to lack of sleep, and the stress hormone Cortisol can increase as well. See for yourself.
The Drs TV: When To Eat Dinner

The Doctors team explained when to eat dinner for your metabolism, sleep weight loss requirements, and the inspirational benefits of photo food journaling.
Have you ever heard that you aren’t supposed to eat dinner after 7 or 8 p.m.? Is this true or false?
Dr Ian Smith said it’s nonsense. The important rule is not to eat dinner within 90 minutes before your bedtime. That is because your metabolism drops off when you are asleep.
However, you can have a snack of up to 150 calories before bed. It might even help you sleep better.
The Doctors: Think Thin Weight Loss
The brain is a powerful tool. Did you know what you believe about your body can affect whether you lose weight? Don’t think about yourself as chubby when you see yourself in the mirror.
In a Temple University study, successful weight loss and maintenance were tied to positivity. A positive attitude can make a big difference. Think about your wishes to improve your endurance or speed, for example.
The Drs TV: Positive Mental Attitude
Dr Ian Smith said changing your wardrobe as you lose weight and giving up the baggy clothes can make a difference in your mental attitude. Dr Lisa suggested that this is a key to inspiring yourself.
The Doctors: Photo Food Journaling
Do you have that friend on Facebook or Instagram who takes a picture of every meal? It turns out this could be a great weight loss tool, similar to food journaling. If you look back at what you ate, you will make better, healthier choices. Take a look.
Dr Jim Sears tried this for eight days and showed off the photos. He suggested a peanut butter and grape sandwich. His meals included many fish options and curried lentils over quinoa. He said he lost four pounds during his vacation, when he took all those photos.
Dr Ian Smith said it’s great that he did this on vacation, proving that you can lose weight by making healthy choices even when you are taking it easy.
The Doctors: Eight-Year-Old Workouts
You can lose weight by putting your exercise goals through the mind of an eight-year-old. Jump rope, hit the playground, or grab a hula hoop to get moving.
