Lose Fat While You Sleep? How does the "Bedtime Belly Buster" Work?

Can you really lose fat while you sleep?

I recently came across a concept addressing this idea that caught my attention...

As a fitness and nutrition enthusiast, I am always fascinated by anything that can help people to be healthy, but when I hear a term such as the 'Bedtime Belly Buster', I can't help but want to explore and even test it out myself!

What is the Bedtime Belly Buster and How does it work?

The Bedtime Belly Buster, is a method of consuming protein and other nutrients before going to sleep to allows the metabolism to continue to burn fat and even help you sleep, while waking up with an even trimmer mid-section.

Really? Ok, how does this work, exactly??

According to, The Science of the Bed Time Belly Buster,

"Based on the complex interactions of the nutrients in the BBB—dietary whey protein and muscle, dietary calcium and fat, and both nutrients with the serotonin- and melatonin-mediated sleep-wake cycle—there is actually excellent evidence to support the combination as a real belly-blaster.

The quality of protein is key. According to studies, whey protein not only boosts metabolism (for extra fat burning during sleep and upon awakening) and satiety (feeling full longer), but also improves postexercise overnight recovery and overall sleep (1, 2). One way it might improve sleep is because it provides a good dose of tryptophan, which increases the amino acid’s access to the brain for creating serotonin (3). Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, which converts to melatonin to regulate the body’s sleep-wake cycle.

There is mounting evidence that the quality and amount of sleep one gets can predict weight loss. The reason being that lost or mistimed sleep can wreak havoc on the body’s “central clock,” or central circadian rhythm, which can affect everything from metabolism to appetite regulation. Sleep Support and Renewal provides melatonin, production of which declines with age, as a safe way to help restore healthy sleep. Supplementing with melatonin and following advice such as getting regular exercise earlier in the day and turning off anything with a screen (e.g. computer) early in the evening can help ensure a better night’s rest."

So what is the exact Bedtime Belly Buster Recipe and does it really work?

There are actually a few versions of the Bedtime Belly Buster that people like to use but the core formula usually includes:

1 Scoop IsaPro Pure Whey Protein powder (in Chocolate or Vanilla) *Not to be confused with the IsaLean Meal Replacement Shake
1 Scoop IsaFruits (or IsaGreens)
Sleep Support and Renewal Spray (Wow! If you have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep, this stuff works!!! And it's non-habit forming!)

Popular additions can include:

Directions:

30 to 60 minutes before bed is the ideal time to prepare your BBB. Keep in mind it’s not recommended on a Cleanse Day, but can be the perfect Shake Day “nightcap.”

Step 1: With an IsaBlender® vessel, combine 4 or 5 oz. of water, the core components, and any of the popular additions. Because the mix foams so rapidly, shake the vessel vigorously before blending.

Step 2: Blend all of the ingredients for 30 to 60 seconds.

Step 3: If desired, add a few ice cubes or crushed ice cubes and re-blend. Then enjoy this nutrient- and protein-dense bedtime treat.

The bottom line of the Bedtime Belly Buster is that there are a variety of different ways to reach your goals. But by supplementing your nighttime regimen with Sleep Support & Renewal spray and the high-quality undenatured whey protein in IsaPro, your body and waistline can transform.
