#1 Eat a high-protein breakfast
There is an important reason our breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day.
What we eat for breakfast can determine the proceeding of our day.
Breakfast will also determine if you are feeling full and satisfied until lunchtime. Or if you go to the nearest fast food or pastry shop.
Eating a high-protein breakfast can help you reduce the urge to eat.
This will cause significant weight and fat loss in a healthy way.

A study of twenty adolescent girls found that eating a high-protein breakfast reduced post-meal cravings much more effectively than a low-protein breakfast. (1)
Another study of fifteen men found that a high-protein breakfast suppressed ghrelin secretion more effectively than a high-carbohydrate breakfast. (2)
Ghrelin is the hormone responsible for increasing appetite. (3)
Starting your day with a high-protein breakfast is one of the most important morning habits to lose weight and fat.
Choose good protein sources such as eggs, yogurt, tuna, cottage cheese, nuts, especially almonds, and chia seeds.
#2 Start running or try some specific yoga poses
Another one of the best morning habits to lose weight and fat, especially belly fat, is Asana yoga poses.
When you try the right Asana poses, you will notice beneficial body changes, even more than another intense workout.
Yoga is mainly known to relax and calm your mind and increase flexibility.
However, by starting the six specific Asana poses below, you will notice impressive results for your weight loss goals.
- Utkatasana or Chair pose
- Trikonasana or Triangle Pose
- Virabhadrasana 2 or Warrior 2
- Dhanurasana or Bow pose
- Setu Bandha Sarvangasana or Bridge Pose
- Navasana or Boat Pose
If you have little time for yoga, you can do a quick ten-minute walk near your home or some other simple exercises at home.
Even for ten minutes, exercising before your breakfast is an important step to lose weight and fat.
In a Journal of Physiology study, the researchers offered participants a hearty breakfast. Some volunteers ate breakfast before exercising, while others ate it after exercising. (4)
Those participants, who exercised after breakfast, gradually gained weight.
However, those who exercised first and then ate the same breakfast lost weight and fat.

#3 Drink at least one glass of water or lemon water
Starting your day with one or two glasses of water, you will notice significant skin changes and a great effect on your body.
Water as the first thing in the morning starts your metabolism, and you burn more calories the rest of the day.

Consider that, for several years, I have been drinking three glasses of water an hour or two before my breakfast.

It is important to prefer homemade meals at least five times a week for even better results.
Studies show it is 28% less likely to get overweight if we prefer everyday home-cooked meals than people who prefer them only three times a week or less. (7)
Try to spend some cooking time in the morning or the night before to plan and prepare your meals.
This is crucial not only for weight loss but also for making healthier meal choices in your day.
#6 Sleep more
You may think that sleep has nothing to do with losing weight and fat goals.
However, several studies have found that sleep deprivation can be associated with increased appetite. It is one reason doctors said that 7-8 hours of daily sleep are necessary for health. (8)
You can go to bed a little earlier in the night or, if needed, set your alarm clock a little later.

The differences in health are more important than you can imagine.
