Losing weight can be hard. One day you’re down 2 pounds…the next you’re up 5.

There never seems to be a happy medium.

The fluctuations on the scale may make you want to give up and throw in the towel.

But:

There is a way to get back to your “losing” ways. If you’re already doing the healthy eating…and the exercise…then the best part is:

Getting back to losing doesn’t involve anything drastic. All you need to do is make some simple changes to your morning routine…

…and you may be able to get back to consistently losing weight. The three things you should start doing are:

1. Eat a High-Protein Breakfast

Protein is useful for many things. Not only does it boost your metabolic rate by lending a hand in lean muscle development, it also boosts the satisfaction hormones needed to keep hunger at bay. This could keep you feeling full for longer periods of time during the morning rush, therefore keeping cravings for higher-calorie foods away. And the fewer calories you eat during the day, the more weight you should lose.

2. Drink Plenty of Water

Everyone should be drinking more water each day. Although most people know that water helps prevent dehydration, I bet you didn’t know it can give your metabolic rate a slight boost. Studies show that drinking a tall glass of water could boost your metabolic rate (how many calories you burn) by as much as 30%. Plus, it can fill you up, which may prevent extra calories from being consumed.

3. Exercise in the Morning

Everyone knows that exercise is important in the overall weight loss puzzle. But did you know, working out in the morning may be better for you? Exercising in the morning may help you better manage your blood sugar, which could prevent hunger and cravings from interfering with your day. Make sure that you get up early, do your cardio and lift those weights…so you can see better results on the scale.

Losing weight is a journey. You will see fluctuations on the scale each day, and it may leave you feeling frustrated and unmotivated. But in order to get the scale moving in the right direction again, you can adopt these simple morning tips. Not only are they effective at boosting your weight loss, they are simple to do, have a lot of reward with minimal risk, and could get you back on track. Give these 3 tips a try this week and see what happens when you step on the scale.
