A Morning Habit to Support Weight Loss
A Simple Habit Change for Your Morning Routine
Want to know an easy change to your morning routine that can support weight loss, especially if you feel like you do a lot of the right things, yet you're not seeing a change to your weight, how your clothes fit or even your energy levels?
→ It’s a pretty simple adjustment that will help to optimize your hormones, like cortisol, your stress hormone, and insulin, which is released in response to glucose in your blood stream and also impacted by cortisol.
This easy change to your routine is around how you drink your morning coffee.
Drinking coffee in the morning on an empty stomach causes the cortisol levels in your body to rise, which are often higher in the morning.
This then causes a release of glucose in your body and ultimately insulin. It might not sound like any big deal, but this can lead to insulin resistance and and an excess of insulin and cortisol in your body, which results in weight gain, along with sleep problems and a compromised immune system.
Therefore, it’s important to have your coffee either with or after your breakfast instead of on an empty stomach.
The food in your body will help to balance and stabilize the release of these hormones... BUT you also have to make sure you’re choosing the right food.
Incorporating protein in your breakfast with your coffee will set you up for balanced hormones, sustained energy, and more natural weight loss.
So tomorrow when you wake up and plan out your morning, try to adjust either when you drink your coffee or eat your breakfast, so that you’re pairing them together.
→Now, what if you’re not a morning person and aren’t hungry for breakfast? ←
