9 effective habits that’ll make you loose weight faster

Looking to lose weight? What you do in the morning and evening could decide how successful you are. In this article, we take a look at 10 morning and evening habits that will help you lose weight.

Too many of us say that we’re not a morning person. We see mornings as more of an inconvenience rather than an opportunity, or a source of potential. But when it comes to losing weight, making the most of your mornings and evenings is key.

Listed below are nine habits that can make you loose weight effectively without much stress.

1) Go For A Morning Jog: Instead of waking up so late that you only have time to make a quick cup of coffee and jump in the shower for five minutes, wake up a bit earlier so that you’ve got enough time to head out on a morning jog.

2) Eat From Smaller Plates: It’s customary for us to return home from work and eat a meal from a huge plate. We gobble the whole thing up, and then complain that we feel so full afterwards. But did you know that it takes your stomach fifteen minutes to let your brain know that you’re full? This means you could be satisfied long before you’ve cleaned up the whole plate.

3) Refuel In The Morning With Protein: A lot of women skip breakfast, or if they have anything they just swig a cup of coffee. Maybe they don’t have the time or lack appetite in the morning. Or perhaps they’re just trying to save some money.

4) Drink Water: Drink water in the morning and in the evening for weight loss. Sometimes when you’re hungry, you’re actually just thirsty.

5) Get More Sleep: We live in a world whose mantra has become “sleep is for the weak.” But is it really? More and more of us are sleeping less these days, with a lot of women catching just 5 hours or less of Zzzs each night. But not only can a lack of sleep cause stress, exhaustion and brain fog, it can also cause you to put weight on.

6) Make Notes In A Food Journal: Each night, write down what you’ve eaten today. It’s a good way to track your habits and identify what you need to change.

7) Change The Way You Go To Work: Most of us drive to work. It’s fairly easy (although the traffic is a nightmare). But if you want to lose weight, you could change your morning and evening commutes to work and back by swapping the car for a bicycle.

8) Stay Busy: It’s important that you don’t return home from work with nothing to do. If there is nothing to occupy your mind and keep you busy, it’s too easy to snack the night away.

9) Soak Up Some Sun: Okay, this one is a tricky one because some of you will live in gloomier countries where the sun barely ever shows its face. And when it does decide to show its face, it’s always during those awkward moments when you’re at work.
