Do you eat healthily and exercise regularly but somehow you can’t lose weight? Maybe you have the wrong morning routine. Avoid these five mistakes to avoid a bad start to your day.
A healthy morning routine is important to start the day fit and well. In fact, it can also help you lose weight – as long as you don’t make five mistakes.
It is known that too little sleep promotes weight gain because, for example, metabolism and cholesterol levels suffer.
But the opposite is also the case: people who sleep more than ten hours may have a higher BMI than comparison persons who sleep seven to eight hours.
This is not about a decent bed reducing weight. But it does indicate a few good qualities. For example, that you are disciplined enough to pack a healthy lunch box or keep an eye on your daily calorie count.
Sunlight not only replenishes vitamin D stores. The morning light also awakens the metabolism, which immediately starts burning energy. Apparently, just 20 to 30 minutes of morning light is enough to have a positive effect on BMI.
Studies have shown that people who weigh themselves every day lose weight more easily or maintain their weight. The best time to do this is in the morning. Not only will you weigh the least then, you can also take action immediately if your weight has gone up a little.
The first meal of the day is – ideally – breakfast. And when you’re on a diet, you save calories straight away. Totally wrong!
Because then the cravings will hit you much sooner and stay with you all day. If you eat until you are full, you will have a lower level of the appetite-stimulating hormone ghrelin after each meal – and thus save more calories in total during the day.
