For many years, one of the biggest issues has been weight management. According to data revealed by the WHO, most people live in countries where overweight and obesity are the leading causes of death as opposed to being underweight. Over the next six years, the numbers continue to be alarming.
The prevalence of overweight children and adolescents has more than quadrupled, from 4% to 18% (between 1975 and 2016, according to the same estimates).
Unfortunately, obesity and excess weight affect the body and, subsequently, the mind. Therefore, one of the main concerns of the current generation is how to control and lose weight.
The weight depends on many factors. The primary causes are, of course, dietary and lifestyle choices. However, weight fluctuations can also be caused by underlying medical conditions. It is also a double-edged sword. So, on the other hand, being overweight leads to many medical problems.
Internationally acceptable standards of beauty have one thing in common. Unfortunately, being skinny is beautiful. Therefore, being overweight leads to psychological problems, low self-esteem, poor social behavior and instances of bullying. As a result, some become unforgiving of themselves and resort to yo-yo dieting and excessive nutritional deficiencies.
Your diet should provide you with enough energy to perform your daily tasks and engage in a regular exercise program. To lose weight, include foods that are more easily digestible and bioavailable. Lunch like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper is a saying we all know.
Breakfast, the most important meal of the day, provides you with enough energy to get through the day.
Eating a delicious and nutritious breakfast kick-starts your metabolism, which improves your performance and your health. By skipping that critical morning meal, your body is more likely to retain extra calories rather than burn them.
Note from The Fitness Freak
Breakfast provides you with enough energy to sustain you throughout the day. Eggs are the big winners due to their rich protein content. Speaking of Indian breakfast, try Poha, dhokla, Idli, Upma and parathas. Always combine foods to get a mix of carbs, protein, fiber, and good fats from a single serving. If you’re looking to lose weight, start your day with a brisk walk for 15-30 minutes before breakfast for best results.
Conclusion
Breakfast can shape the whole day when you’re trying to lose weight.
The wrong foods can increase your appetite and make you more likely to fail before the day starts. On the contrary, eating the right foods can reduce cravings and keep you full until lunch, avoiding snacks in between and aiding weight loss.
