Magnesium is a great supplement to take for weight loss, but it works even better if you take it after dinner or right before bed. Studies show that it helps to relax the body and reduce feelings of anxiety and stress, which is needed to get a good night's sleep. And we all know how much a good night's sleep can impact the healthy choices we make the next day. If you're tired, you're definitely not going to be in the mood to eat your kale salad or go to the gym; you're probably going to order takeout and sit on the couch instead.
