Breakfast: 12 bad habits that make us gain weight

2023-09-01 08:22:00, Shëndeti CNA

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, according to nutritionists. After all, this is where the foundation for the rest of our day is laid, and any mistakes in this follow us throughout the day.

If you tend to eat breakfast because you know you have to eat something in the morning, are you sure you are eating the right foods? Of course we should enjoy a meal when we wake up, but we also have to respect some rules! If we take in too many calories or too few, it will affect our eating behavior throughout the day.

We have collected for you the most frequent mistakes that everyone more or less makes and instead of making us thin, they make us fat:

We don't eat anything in the morning

To be able to eat a proper breakfast, we need to wake up a little earlier, prepare it, have time to consume it and then get ready for work. If you wake up at the last minute, just before we leave for work, then we don't have time for breakfast. If we don't eat anything in the morning, it will affect the rest of the day. We will be hungry when we get to the office and are much more likely to consume caloric products or snack during the day or evening hours when we are more relaxed.

Coffee is high in calories

Coffee in general is a drink that doesn't make you fat, as long as you drink it plain. If you add various sweeteners, milk, whipped cream or anything else you can imagine, then it makes sense that the calories you get from it will increase without you realizing it. What is the solution? We gradually reduce the sugar in coffee or look for other sweeteners, such as saccharin or stevia.

We only drink coffee

A classic bad habit that many people may have. When we wake up, we desperately want to drink coffee, then rush to get ready to leave for the office, not eating anything... The empty stomach will protest at some point and most likely push us to consume high-calorie foods.

Breakfast outside

If you leave the house without even drinking coffee and look for your breakfast at a nearby bakery or cafe, then you may be tempted to buy something that you would not consume if you were at home.

We don't read labels

When we buy products for our breakfast from the supermarket, we have to be very careful about what the labels say. The seemingly innocent cereals we feed our children can also contain very high amounts of sugar. Especially the tastiest ones, the ones with chocolate.

Complete carbohydrates

Our favorite breakfast items, pancakes, crepes, bread, croissants, croissants are full of carbohydrates. And in fact, they contain the so-called bad carbohydrates, which make us fat and do not create a feeling of satiety, making us hungry much faster than we should. For breakfast to be balanced, it should contain both protein and good fats.

Food in the car

If you have a bad habit of eating on the way to the office, it is almost certain that you will eat more. If you buy food specifically from outside, then the chances of it being high in calories and fattening increase.

Beware of juices and smoothies

Fruits are very healthy but contain a lot of sugar. But it's definitely better to eat fruit than drink juice, especially if that juice is packaged. Packaged juices have a lot of preservatives and a lot of sugar, so they are not the best choice for breakfast or any other moment of the day. Instead, choose fresh juices with no added sugar.

The same goes for smoothies. They are healthy, but it depends on the ingredients. If you haven't prepared it yourself, look carefully at their ingredients because they can be high in calories and you wouldn't know it.

Eat very early in the morning

If you are an early riser, then it is best not to eat right after waking up as it is certain that you will be very hungry before lunch.

Water!

Water is the necessary element to properly start our day, while it activates the metabolism, creates the feeling of satiety and also contributes to weight loss. Many of us forget to drink water, especially in the winter months and this is not good for the overall functioning of our body.

pLANNING

Planning our meals is the A and Z of a proper diet. If you are organized and follow a diet plan, then it is difficult to deviate! The key is to always have the necessary supplies at home to support your efforts. If you wake up hungry and have nothing to eat, chances are you'll turn to unhealthier options inside or outside the home.

Poor sleep

It has nothing to do with diet, but it is indirectly related to it. Research has shown that poor sleep is linked to eating disorders and obesity, so anyone who gets enough sleep is ready to enjoy a proper and healthy morning./ CNA
