Weight loss efforts can start first thing in the morning with a healthy breakfast. The timing of this meal can, in fact, make all the difference to a successful weight loss regime. By making sure you’re consuming breakfast at the optimum time you can boost your slimming goals. The trick is to eat the meal at a specific window in the morning and not leave it too late.
Weight loss: Eat breakfast at this time of morning to lose weight
A 2015 study published in the scientific journal Obesity found the best time to eat breakfast was between 6am and 9.45am.
Eating a high-protein meal in this time frame was linked to a reduced risk of body fat gain.
Researchers also found that breakfast at this time led to less hunger throughout the day.
The above was not the case for those people who waited to eat breakfast until after 10am.
“I always suggest eating a healthy breakfast within one hour upon waking,” Jim White, R.D., spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, told Women’s Heath.
Breakfast should also not be skipped. A study of 309 adults published on the US National Library of Medicine showed there are no benefits from missing the meal.
