3 Easy Ways to Use Calories to Lose Calories

     One thing that is commonly overlooked in weight loss is breakfast.  Many people are under the impression that skipping breakfast can help you lose weight.  They are very wrong.  In fact, it is quite the contrary.  There are three key points I'd like to go over regarding the importance of breakfast.

  1. Metabolism

     Eating breakfast first thing in the morning is fantastic for your metabolism.  You see, when you put food into your body, you are telling your body to get started.  What is this thing that your body getting started on?  Burning fat.  Your metabolism burns your fat all throughout the day, but it burns even more if you get it started earlier.  Anything you eat will get the metabolism moving, but certain foods activate it more than others.  Spicy foods like sausage and peppers tend to kick your metabolism into high gear, as well as fruits.  Whatever you do, just make sure you eat something.

 2.  Protein

     Ok, it does sort of matter what you eat for breakfast if you want to optimize your weight loss.  You see, when you kick your metabolism into high gear, you tend to get hungrier faster.  To prevent yourself from snacking away your good physique you should eat something hearty for breakfast.  Protein is just about the most filling food type there is.  Studies have shown that those who eat protein in for breakfast (like eggs, sausage, milk, cheese, yogurt) are half as likely to snack in between meals.  I like those odds.  Water also helps to curb your appetite, not to mention it is the healthiest thing on the planet.  

 3.  Energy


     Last but not least, I want to talk about energy.  Having energy throughout the day is something most people wish they had more of.  Well, it's not some magical gift for the lucky few.  All it takes is a wise choice, like eating a hearty breakfast.  Breakfast eaters who take in a healthy wholesome morning meal are rewarded with an extra dose of energy.  This energy in turn helps to burn even more calories than they would have burned without the hearty breakfast.  Certain foods like whole grain breads, oatmeal and slow burning proteins like milk and eggs are ideal for building long lasting energy throughout your day.  

So as you can see, you use calories to lose calories.   

Thank you for reading.  I hope this information gets into the right hands!  Questions or comments are always encouraged.  Until next time...

Stay Healthy,
