We would be shocked if this came as a shocker to you. You must have been hearing since eternity that your breakfast should be your heaviest meal and dinner – the lightest. The logic behind it is simple. We either go straight to bed after dinner or engage in very little physical activity. Our bodies don’t get the opportunity to use up all that carb. The same gets stored as fat. A heavy breakfast, rich in protein, will also keep you energized all day long.

Your choice of the drink also has a bearing on your body weight. Worry not. We aren’t asking you to give up drinking altogether. All you have to do is be a little aware of your drink ingredients. Forgoing those which are high on cream and sugar and opting for ones with fewer calories can help immensely. Vodka and gin are the best in this regard. Also, when having to choose a wine, go for one comprising of the least quantity of sugar.
