Simple morning habits for every day that will help you lose weight faster: tips from nutritionists

These tips are easy to follow, and you will notice the effect very quickly: you will have more energy, your body will tighten, and it will motivate you to take new steps in the fight against excess weight. And even if it does not motivate, there will be benefits for the body for sure!

On average, the human body loses about half a liter of water per night of sleep. And if the room is hot and dry, the losses can be even more serious. Either way, a glass of plain clean water at room temperature is the easiest way to “jump start” the body’s working systems at the start of a new day. Water promotes healthy intestinal motility, is beneficial for the liver and kidneys and, as Russian nutritionist Elena Tikhomirova recalls, is a good prevention of thrombosis. It also fills the stomach, not allowing hunger pangs to overwhelm you early in the morning.

By the way, did you know that the thirst and satiety centers are located in the neighboring brain? And often the voracious appetite actually reflects a lack of fluids.

This does not mean that you have to eat three meals early in the morning: of course, you will not lose weight, even if you consume extremely healthy foods in excess. Compose your breakfast so that it combines products that contribute to the normalization of weight.

Many people who lose weight completely refuse to eat in the morning, assuming that it simply “cuts” calories. This approach is fundamentally wrong – many nutritionists, including the author of one of the most famous Russian diets, Dr. Alexei Kovalkov, claim that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It balances metabolic hormones, gives energy and satiety and ensures against overeating during the day. So eat in the morning:

Provides you with antioxidants, vitamins and fiber without the extra calories.

Do not be afraid of carbohydrates like fire, because they provide energy and satiety. But it’s important to avoid industrially processed foods that have been stripped of all their goodness. Rolled oats or whole grain bread are great breakfast foods.

Protein-rich foods balance blood sugar. And the absence of its bursts perfectly “educates” fat cells. Clinical studies leave no doubt that a diet rich in protein helps reduce body weight and reshape the silhouette, making it more toned.

Losing weight by walking is a great addition to the nutrition normalization process. Walking burns calories, strengthens muscles, joints and bones and stimulates the production of feel-good hormones. If walking separately isn’t possible, get some comfortable shoes and walk part of your usual morning route. Russian nutritionist Daria Rusakova recommends eating breakfast after walking a mile or two early in the morning.
