One of the best and easiest ways to burn more fat every day is to get started first thing in the morning. In fact, one of the most common things I hear about working out to lose weight is to do your workout in the morning. Some people suggest that this is scientifically proven to burn more fat because you haven’t eaten all night, but this just isn’t true. It is true that starting your morning out with a workout can help to ensure faster fat loss.
If it’s not scientifically proven to help you lose more weight, how can it burn more fat, that doesn’t make sense. But it does. It may not be backed by science, but it is true that working out first thing in the morning will keep you from procrastinating. When you start your day out with a workout, and make it your first priority to finish your workout, then it gets done every day, no matter what. You won’t spend your entire day dreading your workout. You get up and get it done, and you begin to form a habit of exercising, rather than procrastinating.
But why would I work out if I wasn’t a morning person? Because it needs done. Even if you’re not a morning person, you can still get a little workout in if you want. I am usually able to, and I hate mornings. Usually, my large workouts fit into my schedule if I go to the gym at lunch time, but there are plenty of days that I wake up a few minutes early and do one of my 4 Minute Slim workouts just to get the day moving. Couldn’t you spare 4 minutes before your morning shower?
Go to any bookstore and you will find huge sections of books that will tell you to do the most important thing on your list first, that way it is done and the rest of the day can just breeze by easily without the burden of that important thing on your shoulders. This also ensures that your most important thing doesn’t get pushed aside for later in the day until it’s too late. Since you wouldn’t be able to do anything if you weren’t healthy, wouldn’t you agree that being healthy should be at the top of your list?
If you can fit a workout into your schedule later in the day and that is a better fit for your life, then you need to have what I call a No Excuse Hour. This doesn’t have to be an hour, it should just be however long a workout takes. With the 20/20/20 Diet, my workouts only take 15-20 minutes. During No Excuse Time, you need to go to the gym NO MATTER WHAT! You can’t say “I’m too tired,” or “I’m too busy today,” and you should never say “I’ll do it tomorrow!” These are all just excuses. Just get your workout done with and you won’t have to waste energy thinking of excuses, you can just relax for the rest of the day.
Working out in the morning isn’t the only way to kick start your morning with Fat Loss. You also need to start out with solid Fat Loss Nutrition. If you start your day out with a greasy Egg McMuffin, chances are, you aren’t going to be energized and ready to take on the world that day. But, if you start your day off with some good fat burning energy filled super fuel, well, I think the answer is obvious, you will feel much better.
If you are ready to start your day off right with both exercise and good nutrition, there are plenty of great things you can eat to ensure you burn more fat. Making a quick egg white omelet with black beans and spinach is one. If you are more strapped for time, you could eat some fruit with a protein shake or even a super charged breakfast meal replacement shake if you’re really on the go. Any of these options will get you feeling healthy and full of life.
Starting your day off right nutritionally is as easy as making a couple of small changes. You can make a super shake, some fresh fruit with a meal replacement shake or an egg white omelet with spinach and black beans. Any of these power breakfasts will start your day off much healthier than if you eat what most people call breakfast.
It’s really up to you. Are you going to take action and start changing your body tomorrow morning? Are you going to eat a healthy super breakfast? Or are you going to hit a drive through or wolf down a bowl of sugar cereal like the rest of the fat unhappy people out there? The choice is yours. Start your day off right and you will notice immediate changes in the way you look and feel.
