Limit sugar and starch at breakfast

According to Japanese doctor Toshiro Iketani, author of the book Shaping visceral fat in 15 days - reducing sugar consumption is the most effective way to burn fat.

The body becomes fat mostly due to eating too much sugar. When sugar is taken into the body, the pancreas secretes insulin to stimulate the liver, muscle or fat cells to absorb sugar in the blood. Excess sugar will promote the secretion of insulin, causing more and more fat to accumulate.

Limiting sugar and starch intake at breakfast will keep blood sugar levels stable, limit cravings, thereby helping you control your total calorie intake throughout the day.

Dr. Toshiro Iketani recommends adding fiber and high-quality protein to breakfast to give the body enough energy to function.

Dr. Ikegu's breakfast is usually a glass of vegetable juice or unsweetened milk combined with unsweetened cereal.

If drinking vegetable juice, Dr. Ikegu often adds a small spoonful of extra virgin olive oil to add healthy fats, increase antioxidants and absorb useful vitamins and minerals.

Drink black coffee in the afternoon

2-4pm is the time when the body consumes energy to burn excess fat. You easily feel hungry and crave snacks at this time. Dr. Ikegu said that drinking a cup of black coffee helps speed up the process of burning excess fat.

Coffee is low in calories and rich in nutrients such as potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants that can improve digestion, boost metabolism, increase energy, and aid weight loss. Caffeine in coffee increases energy and curbs cravings.

If you don't want to drink coffee, you can use black tea, green tea... Note, do not add sugar or milk to tea or coffee to achieve weight loss results.
