1. Drink lots of water
Adding an average of 500 ml of water helps increase metabolic activity in the body by 30%. Even without any dietary changes, just drinking an extra liter of water a day can help you lose two kilograms in a year. Drinking water helps reduce cravings, which in turn reduces calorie intake. Starting the morning with water and staying hydrated throughout the day is a great way to promote weight loss without putting in too much effort.
2. Exercise before breakfast
Research conducted at Northumbria University, Newcastle, UK, exercising before breakfast can burn 20% more body fat. Experts explain, on an empty stomach, the body will burn stored fat to create energy and maintain activity. As a result, you will lose fat faster. Exercising in the morning helps keep blood sugar stable throughout the day, thereby, curbing cravings.
3. Eat a protein-rich breakfast
Breakfast is extremely important and what you eat for breakfast determines whether you can afford to work until noon or have to stop working for a snack. Research has shown that a high-protein breakfast helps reduce cravings and aids weight loss. Protein has the ability to reduce levels of ghrelin – the hunger hormone, so you will eat less at other meals of the day. Protein-rich foods should be added in breakfast such as eggs, greek yogurt, cheese, nuts…
4. Sunbathing
Sunbathing is an effective way to synthesize vitamin D. Vitamin D aids weight loss and weight maintenance. A study of 218 overweight and obese women showed that those given enough vitamin D lost an average of 3.2 kg more than those with vitamin D deficiency.
5. Sleep a little more
Going to bed earlier or setting the alarm clock a little later also helps to increase the weight loss effect. Research shows that lack of sleep increases cravings, especially for starchy and sugary foods. Lack of sleep also increases calorie intake. Building a healthy schedule makes it easier to lose weight. To enhance the effect of weight loss, you should sleep at least 8 hours a night.
