15. A Breakfast Majorly Based on Carbs

Are you regularly picking up carb-rich breakfast items, such as cream cheese bagels or crispy donuts for breakfast? These processed carbs will give your body an excessive amount of 500 calories, and no energy whatsoever. But it is important to understand that even a large plate of fruit or a healthy bowl of oatmeal is also a bad move because they comprise mainly of carbs.

Research reveals that the human body can digest carbs within a few hours, so if your breakfast lacks protein, it will not provide you satiety for longer hours, and by mid-morning, you’ll be looking for snacks to satisfy those sudden pangs of hunger. Moreover, when the body digests the carbs without any source of protein, it causes a sudden drop in blood sugar, which makes you crave for pick-me-up sugar-loaded treats to energize you.

So, it’s always a better idea to pick out fiber-packed carbs with a mindful portion of lean protein alongside as both these nutrients will stabilize your blood sugar levels, and promote feelings of satiation by curbing your appetite for longer hours. For instance, if you pair up a tiny bowl of oatmeal topped with fresh berries along with eggs or even Greek yogurt, you’ll keep your tummy satiated until it’s time for lunch.

16. Regularly Devouring Low-Fat Pastries

Marketers and manufacturers understand that as soon as we spot the labels ‘low-fat’ and ‘bran’ we quickly assume that the product is a healthy choice. However, research reveals that despite being high in fiber, most of these supposedly low-fat products are actually packed with excessive amounts of sugar, processed flour and heaps of sodium. Do not let the fancy names on the menu fool you into consuming a bucket load of calories. Always skim through the ingredients and read everything listed on the label before you make your purchase.

17. Getting your Energy from Energy Drinks

Most people crave an instant pick-me-up beverage to jolt their mornings and for this, they turn to sugar-loaded energy drinks that contain nothing but chemicals and empty calories. If you’re not a coffee lover and you need a wake-me-up drink in the morning, then you need to find the right tea for your body and taste buds instead of relying on these harmful energy drinks.

Match tea is a potently powerful form of green tea, and it works wonders at promoting weight loss. If you don’t like to devour hot beverages, fix yourself some cold iced tea, or fix yourself a smoothie. Tea smoothies taste delicious and they provide all the energy you’ll need to start your day in high spirits.
