A High-Protein Breakfast Actually Helps You Lose Weight

 

When you wake up in the morning, you’re usually going to be a little bit hungry. This isn’t a bad thing, and you should pay attention to what your body is saying. However, you should also incorporate a little strategy into your morning calorie consumption. Your body is hungry, but your body may not know what it wants.

If you eat the wrong foods, there’s a high likelihood you’ll give the body calories that either aren’t burned or aren’t good for you. Starch and bread in the morning aren’t as good an idea as you might think. Cereal is full of both and has carbohydrate energy. Carbohydrates tend to become fat.

If you want to lose weight, this isn’t the way to go. If you don’t need to lose weight, that’s another story. All that being said, here is what modern nutritionists have discovered about weight loss options: a breakfast high in protein actually contributes to weight loss. In this writing, we’ll explore a few reasons why that is, including:

• A Metabolic Kick-Start
• Satiating Your Body’s Hunger Cravings
• Reducing Muscle Loss Through High Metabolic Rate

 

A Metabolic Kick-Start

If you want to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you regularly ingest on average. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that average adult women will burn 1,600 to 2,400 calories a day, while average adult men will burn 2,000 to 3,000 calories a day. So if you’re an average-sized lady who is active in an average way, try not to ingest more than 1,600 calories a day.

 

 

For a man, the number is 2,000. Here’s the thing: you can have a massive breakfast, feel fully satiated, then have a dinner salad or something in the evening to tide you over. The big problem people have with a diet is hunger pangs. But when you have a high-protein breakfast in the morning, your metabolism is kick-started with hard-to-digest compounds. Accordingly, you feel full all day from just one meal. That can make something like a 3-week diet much easier to stick to.

A reason many swear by a 3-week diet is that it takes approximately 21 days to form a neuro-pathway in your mind, at least according to Dr. Caroline Leaf. Three weeks is the approximate time necessary to form a habit in your mind at the physical level. Psychologically, you’ve just got to keep it up from that point.

So if you have a high-protein breakfast that is under your daily caloric intake, then only a light salad in the evening, you can see serious transformation inside three weeks; and even stick to it. It all starts with your metabolism. Protein kick starts it, and maintaining associated healthy habits keeps “the ball rolling”, as it were.

Satiating Your Body’s Hunger Cravings

Red foods tend to contain antioxidants, and these tend to help stimulate your body’s metabolism as well. What does that mean for breakfast? One word: herbs in the morning is very good for you. It’s a high-protein super-food chock full of antioxidants which actually are very good for your metabolism. If you don’t eat herbs, you won’t get the same level of antioxidants from steak and eggs; but you’ll still get some.

At any rate, when you’ve got a lot of red foods early in the morning, you’re getting protein and antioxidants simultaneously. This satiates hunger cravings while stimulating your immune system with compounds that are hard to break down.

It’s additionally considerable that, if you plan on working out, you need “fuel” to repair your muscles. Protein is that fuel. If you’re doing a lot of work on upper body muscles, a heavy breakfast is a fine idea. If it’s leg day and you’re working on your thighs, this is doubly true.

 

 

Reducing Muscle Loss Through High Metabolic Rate

When you’ve got a lot of protein providing antioxidants and metabolic stimulation, then your body doesn’t “eat” muscles. When you’re malnourished, the body moves beyond fat deposits and begins to consume muscle. So just dieting can actually reduce muscle mass, but high protein breakfasts help counteract this.

But what do you do when it’s suppertime? Well, a salad was mentioned earlier-but you can’t have just any salad; you want one designed to assure you continue losing weight. So how many calories in the salad are “good” calories, and how many are “bad”?

Well, here’s a handy chart to help you determine which specific salad ingredients best match your proclivities. Essentially, creamy dressing is your enemy; but nuts, meats, and vegetables are your friend.
