Weight loss plan is challenging both mentally and physically. Weight loss require lifestyle changes including dieting, exercise and behaviour. Choosing the right meal is important for the success of diet plan and especially when it comes to breakfast.
First meal is the basic for the rest of the day as it affects cravings and the amount of food to be eaten later on. Weight loss plan requires some rules rather than just eliminating junk food and high caloric food; it requires a real lifestyle changes including eating habits and meal patterns.
Studies have been shown that people who consume breakfast tend to have less overweight than people who don’t but to prevent weight gain you must take different things into consideration like timing of your first meal, the types of food you consume, as well as the frequency, including the length of the overnight fast, are really important.
Eat right away
The best time to have your breakfast is within one hour after you wake up as it help to maintain your circadian rhythm, regulate blood sugar and keep insulin under control as well it boosts your metabolism.
Protein and fibre
Kind of food in weight loss plan matters so replace sugary food and junk food with more satisfying food like high protein and high fibre food for example eggs, wholegrain, veggies and fruit so you are eating more full filling food that increase satiety and help you in building muscles that increase your metabolism and assure successful weight loss plan.
Meal timing and frequency
Research also suggests that having breakfast and lunch between five and six hours apart, while making the overnight fast last between 18 and 19 hours could be a practical approach to healthy fat loss, contrasting some studies that claim eating less frequently and skipping snacks might help maintain weight loss results.
However, many studies came to the conclusion that regular breakfast consumption seemed to promote healthy eating, help boost satiety, reduce daily calorie intake, and stick to your weight loss goals.
