Australian nutrition expert Lian Ward told the Daily Mail that achieving healthy and fast fat loss requires several actions, especially in the morning. Here are the top 5 habits to follow in the morning for fat loss and to achieve a healthy weight quickly, according to Lian Ward:
1. **Focus on Positives**
Lian suggests that the first thing a person should do in the morning is to feel gratitude and focus on positive aspects, such as thinking about the positive things one has like good health, and feeling grateful for what one possesses. This encourages positive actions that can lead to weight loss.
2. **Engage in Physical Activity**
Lian recommends getting outdoors and exposing yourself to sunlight to obtain vitamin D, along with engaging in physical activity such as walking or performing some exercises. She advises doing at least half an hour of physical activity daily while breathing in fresh air.
3. **Drink Water**
While many health experts recommend drinking water with lemon, apple cider vinegar, or chlorophyll first thing in the morning, Lian states that drinking one cup of water immediately upon waking can suffice and hydrate the body. According to Lian, we often think we are hungry due to thirst, so whenever you feel hungry, drink a cup of water to see if your hunger was actually thirst or true hunger.
4. **Get Protein**
Lian advises focusing on consuming protein and fiber in the first meal of the morning. Protein-rich foods include eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and peanut butter, while fiber-rich foods include berries, almonds, and many others.
5. **Eat When Hungry**
Some people believe that eating is obligatory as soon as they wake up, but Lian recommends not eating unless you genuinely feel hungry after waking up in the morning. This is because the body may have excess energy reserves from the previous day that need to be burned before seeking more food.
