If you’re wondering how to lose weight fast, a high protein breakfast is without an iota of doubt the best way to start your day. Before we delve into this delicious recipe I have for you, there’s one or two things that you should know.

Indeed, with a breakfast that has lots of protein contained in it, you have the guarantee of meeting your daily required protein needs, going long hours of the day feeling full and looking super confident. An ideal protein breakfast is the bedrock of an HCG diet plan and it could be made up of complete proteins or a conglomerate of incomplete proteins. For all parts of your body to function properly, to attain optimal fitness, and lose weight fast, a high-quality protein diet plan containing all the essential amino acids required is crucial. Complete proteins come in meat, dairy products, poultry, seafood, fish, whole eggs, egg whites, soy products and protein drinks containing casein, whey, or soy, etc. Nuts, legumes, whole grains, peanut butter, seeds, etc., are examples of incomplete protein sources.

I would highlight some amazing benefits of high-quality protein diet plans…

A reduction in calorie intake

Meals that are high in protein content provide an increased feeling of satiety and satisfaction. As such, when on an HCG weight loss plan, loading up on proteins would mean less intake of other food that would increase your daily intake of calories. This would effectively help in that process of losing weight fast. And what better way than to start your day with a protein-powered breakfast.

A reduction in appetite and hunger

Starting your day with a breakfast rich in protein means you could go through at least the first part of your day without any hunger cravings because it has the potential to make you feel like you are full and reduces your appetite as well. This way you wouldn’t have the urge to eat something else while still having enough energy to get you through the day. And when you are on an HCG weight loss plan, this becomes very important in helping you keep up.

Your HCG weight loss plan

Enhanced development of your muscles and lean body mass

Of course, for anyone on a weight loss plan, exercise is also important. Effective combination of both would ultimately lead to enhanced development of your muscles and lean body mass. When the exercise activity involves heavy lifting and other resistance-based activities, the more committed you are to your high protein diet plans, the faster the results of your weight loss. Lean mass muscles increase, body fat reduces. Imagine starting your day with a combo of these? And did I mention, when your lean body mass increases, your metabolic rate increases, your body switches to autopilot and helps you burn more energy even without actually engaging in any physical activity.

Increased endurance and inner strength levels

With an increased intake of protein in your diet plans, there would be a corresponding enhancement in endurance levels. Strength levels would go beyond the regular due to an increase in muscle development and a faster recovery process after every training session. As such, starting off your day with a rich protein breakfast would mean enhanced strength and endurance levels throughout the entire day.

Increased calorie burning and fat loss

When on an HCG weight loss plan, the effect of regular intake of diets that are rich in protein is massive towards achieving your objective. This is because your body burns more calories when breaking down the heavy chains of amino acids than it does when digesting carbohydrates and fats. This process known as the thermic effect means consuming protein wouldn’t only reduce intake of calories, it would also help your body to burn more of it. The combination of increased lean muscle mass, increased satiety after meals, and higher rates of metabolism would invariably lead to a significant loss in body fat. If you are looking at losing body fat fast and with ease, without being denied the pleasure of a savory dish, then a protein meal plan is your best bet for breakfast. It makes it easy for compliance. It is an easier and more sustainable method of fat reduction.

Improved sleep patterns

If you have been wondering how to get a prescription just because you have been battling with irregular sleeping patterns, then what you need is an increase in the protein content of your meals. Research has shown that most of the energy produced from the consumption of protein has significant impacts in enhancing sleep especially in adults that are obese or overweight.

Improved quality of life

With enhanced energy and endurance levels, improved sleeping habits, a significant reduction in body weight, there comes a certain glow and confidence. A boost in your physical self as well as your general body health.

When you wake up in the morning, you are faced with the thoughts of a long list of activities for the day, starting with a meal that is rich in protein gives you that boost to take it all head on. This makes breakfast the most important meal of the day, a productive day, I must add.

For those who think skipping breakfast is the best way to lose weight, that isn’t the better option as you would only be depriving yourself of the necessary fuel you need to help you perform optimally through the day. So, instead of skipping breakfast, here’s a delicious and rich diet that you must certainly have on your daily meal plan…

And to make it even more enticing, you can make this in advance and heat it up subsequently, any time, all through the week when you need to have that powerful breakfast. Providing sufficient energy to take you through the day and keeping you full until lunchtime.

This tasty delight can be served with some fresh pico de gallo or salsa. You would barely miss the cheese… In some minutes, it would be time to dig and fuel up for the day. Delicioso!
