Have you ever wondered why your diet never produces the good results that nutritionists promise? Did you know that the reason could be you and the mistakes you make in the early hours of the day after you wake up?
Everyone knows that breakfast is one of the most important meals. It is not desirable to miss it if we want our day to start in the right way. However, it is of key necessity to know what not to do and what is desirable to observe if we want to feel full and at the same time melt away kilos.
Here are the mistakes that make us gain weight instead of losing it:
• You replace breakfast with coffee;
Yes, this is one of the mistakes that is not advisable to make. There is nothing wrong with starting your day with a cup of bitter coffee, but it is not advisable to exclude the rest of the breakfast, which should be rich in fiber, protein and other nutrients useful for the body.
It is very likely that if you skip a meal at breakfast, your appetite will be increased later and your metabolism will slow down.
Even if you’re not at all hungry after drinking your coffee, eat a protein bar or something, but don’t leave your stomach empty.
• You consume drinks with a lot of sugar and calories;
Few people think that a cappuccino with a few spoonfuls of sugar and full cream can sabotage the diet. If you have decided to lose weight, you must be very strict and watch the calories you eat. Try cutting out sugar and gradually stop adding it to your caffeinated drink. So in one moment you will be able to enjoy its true taste.
• You choose the wrong carbohydrates possible;
It is important to have enough fiber in the breakfast. Otherwise, you will start gaining weight from it instead of losing it. Fiber controls digestion, appetite and maintains normal blood sugar levels.
If you really want to lose weight, it’s important to reduce the amount of food you eat. Take some measures.

What should we never eat for breakfast?
• Drink juices for breakfast;
Don’t replace your morning snack with a glass of freshly squeezed juice. It is a healthy drink from which you can get vitamins and minerals, but it is by no means a complete meal. Soon after drinking it, you will feel hungry again.
We’re not saying you should ditch your morning glass of juice, pair it with a protein—an egg, oatmeal yogurt, or whatever.
• You only eat foods that you associate with breakfast.
Most people are used to eating more or less the same foods for breakfast. This could be toast, pancakes, oatmeal, smoothies, and more. They choose fruits and vegetables to be part of the midday meal. The truth is that if we add a tomato or half a cucumber to our breakfast, we will be full for a much longer time, because with them we are adding additional fiber to our breakfast.
Stop making these mistakes and you will see for yourself that very soon your efforts will be rewarded and the extra pounds will be a thing of the past!
