Eat a Protein-Rich Breakfast
We need to ensure that our breakfast contains an optimal amount of protein.
Your body takes longer to digest this nutrient compared to carbohydrates or fats, so protein-rich meals help you feel fuller for longer. Protein also helps regulate hunger and balance blood sugar levels.
We should consume 25 - 30 grams of protein at breakfast from eggs, Greek yogurt, almond butter, or lean chicken.
Enjoy a Cup of Coffee
Caffeine can actually boost fat burning in the morning. A study published in June 2019 on the Scientific Reports journal found that drinking a cup of coffee is enough to stimulate brown fat - a special type of fat in the body that is activated when you are cold, and plays a role in burning calories faster.
Exercise
Exercise can help you reduce visceral fat. When researchers from the University of Tehran (Iran) checked the impact of morning or evening aerobic exercise, they found that exercising in the morning resulted in lower calorie intake at the end of the day, as well as significant changes in body weight, abdominal skin fold thickness, and waist circumference.
Weigh Yourself
According to a study published in April 2016 on the Journal of Clinical Nutrition, individuals who dieted and weighed themselves daily lost more weight and body fat approximately three times more than those who weighed themselves less frequently.
The best time of day to step on the scale is immediately after waking up and using the restroom, to get the most accurate results.
