Morning Tips to lose weight
Make time for tea
A morning with the highest intake of catechins, antioxidants
in tea that may accelerate fat burn, gained less weight over years
than those who sipped less, a study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
reveals. White and green brews have the most catechins.
Move your workouts to the morning
Breaking a sweat before you sit down to breakfast can help you trim down
faster, a study in The Journal of Physiology finds. Exercising on an empty
stomach in the A.M. improves glucose
tolerance, which spurs your body to shed fat.
Breakfast in morning
If you don’t already have regular morning meals, it’s time to start:
Lifelong early eaters have a waistline about 2 inches smaller than that of
breakfast skippers, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reveals. An A.M.
meal may rev metabolism; plus, it may cause you to make less of an enzyme
that raises cholesterol.
Savor your food
Eating slowly and steadily can help you stay slim. People who took 30 minutes to
eat a bowl of ice cream created more fullness hormones than did those who ate
faster, a study in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism notes.
Become a creature of habit
Eating at the same times every day and could help you drop pounds. When
mice ate at scheduled mealtimes and fasted for 12 hours at night, their liver
turned on genes that burned more
sugar and fat, say scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La
Jolla, California.
Start with water
Downing two cups of water before meals helped people lose about 5 pounds more
than those who said no to water, research from Virginia Tech reveals. Water is
filling, so sippers ate 75 to 90 calories less. Enjoy a few cups of water while
you prep a meal or before your entrée arrives at a restaurant to effortlessly
keep calories in check.
Step on the scale
Dieters who weighed themselves at least weekly lost more weight than those
who didn’t, according to research from the Minneapolis Heart Institute
Foundation. Plus, the habit helped nondieters stay at a stable weight. Spotting
scale swings early allows you to tweak your eating and exercise routine before
pounds can pile up.
