Any individual who has successfully shed off their excess weight will tell you that daily habits played a key role in the success of their weight loss journey. And for those fats that are simply too stubborn to go away, they turn to non-invasive treatments like SculpSure fat reduction.
If you’ve been having trouble shedding off those extra pounds, consider these morning habits. They could just be what you need to jumpstart your weight loss journey:
1. Drink a glass or two of water upon waking up
A daily habit that can easily help you shed 4.4 pounds in a year is drinking a glass or two of water upon waking up, and increasing your water intake by at least 34 ounces per day. Several studies that followed overweight women over a period of 12 months showed these women lost an average of two kilos within that period without increasing daily physical activities or making lifestyle changes.
2. Pack on the proteins
A good way to start your day is with a protein-rich breakfast. From non-fat Greek yogurt (a 7-oz cup contains 20 grams of protein) to two large eggs (contains approximately 13 grams of protein), and ½ cup of low-fat cottage cheese (contains 14 grams of protein), your choices of protein-rich breakfasts are endless.
Studies reveal that eating a protein-rich breakfast makes you feel fuller longer, which can help stave off hunger pangs until lunch time.
3. Watch your weight
Watch your weight, literally; that is, weigh yourself every morning before eating or drinking anything. Keeping tabs on your weight every day could help keep you motivated, especially when you see how much weight you’ve already lost since you started your weight loss journey.
Note: When you get to within 10 to 20 pounds of your ideal weight, SculpSure fat reduction treatment is an effective way to eliminate those stubborn fats in your midsection without surgery.
4. Walk to work
Ditch the car and take public transportation, bike, or walk to work. Research shows that people who have the tendency to get behind the wheel every time they need to go somewhere were more likely to gain weight than those who took public transportation.
You don’t have to take public transportation or walk to work every day; just twice or thrice per week is enough to get you more physically active.
