If you want to lose weight, you don’t have be on rigorous diet when most of the time you are hungry, irritated and have no energy. The simplest, and safest way for our health is to follow a few simple rules of daily nutrition and to introduce proper eating habits in our life.
Eat breakfast
Eating breakfast is really important for our health because it positively influences on the body's work throughout the day. Remember that night is the time of starvation to our stomach, we do not eat any meals then, so in the morning we should always provide as much energy and nutrients as possible so that the body can function properly. Not providing the right portion of food negatively affects our health and well-being, and the effects of it can be seen immediately, or can appear even after a longer time. Skipping breakfast may lead to the occurrence of metabolic disorders and, consequently, increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In addition, don’t think that avoiding eating breakfast will help you to lose weight because the effect is quite the opposite. Every next hour in the morning you become more and more hungry, and on lunch time you will probably eat a much larger and more caloric portion than usual. So start the day with a delicious breakfast full of fiber, cereal products and fruits to have energy and to keep fit.
Eat meals high in protein
Protein helps us to burn fat at rest. But, how is it possible? Protein accelerates metabolism - the body needs much more energy to digest protein than fats or carbohydrates. In addition, protein builds muscles which play an important role during physical exercise and in our efforts of achieving a slim figure. Having properly nourished muscles allows for faster recovery after exercises and will ensure more effective trainings in future. What's more, high-protein products enable you to be sated for a longer time. Start adding high in protein products to your diet - fish, poultry, dairy products and legumes. Try to plan your day meals so that each of them has protein-rich products.
Drink a lot of water
Remember to properly hydrate your body throughout the day. Water should be the main component of your diet because it positively affects health, helps in burning calories, cleanses the body of toxins and unnecessary substances, and additionally contains no sugar, and thus no calories. Water drinking regularly improves our metabolism - especially on empty stomach or before going to sleep. On the other hand, when we drink water before a meal, we ensure a feeling of fullness, and consequently we are able to control our excessive appetite and limit the amount of calories that we eat. Be careful of mistaking the feeling of hunger with the signs of dehydration - the body often signals the insufficient level of water in the body in this way. So, drink a glass of water instead of eating a caloric snack. Do not forget that the water increases the efficiency of our body during physical exercise what has a positive effect on fastening our weight loss.
