People try countless methods and adopt many habits to lose weight. Some people run for hours, while others go to the gym and sweat it out. It is true that stubborn fat can accumulate on the body, making it difficult to reduce. However, improving your eating habits can play a significant role in weight loss.
According to health experts, having breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the right times can help avoid obesity and support weight loss.
According to a report of Times Of India, to lose weight, breakfast should be consumed at the right time. It is recommended to have breakfast within one hour of waking up. This boosts metabolism and provides the energy needed for the day. For example, if you wake up at 6 am, you should have breakfast by 7 am.
A 2019 study found that skipping breakfast can increase obesity. Eating a protein-rich breakfast, such as eggs, yogurt, whole grains, toast, or fruits, can keep hunger at bay for the rest of the day.
Regarding the timing of lunch, it should be eaten between 12 pm and 1 pm. A gap of 5 to 6 hours between breakfast and lunch is ideal. Lunch helps balance metabolism and provides energy to the body. Research shows that having lunch early can assist with weight loss, while eating late can hinder this process. To make it healthy, include lean protein, whole grains, and vegetables.
When it comes to dinner, it should be eaten at least 3 hours before bedtime to give the body enough time to digest the food. If you sleep at 10 pm, dinner should be finished by 7 pm. Dinner plays an important role in weight loss as well. It should be light, nutritious, and contain lean protein, nutrient-rich vegetables, and healthy carbs, such as sweet potatoes or quinoa.
Eating late at night can slow down metabolism, and since the body burns fewer calories during sleep, consuming heavy food may lead to weight gain.
