We all know that sticking to a diet filled with fat-burning foods is key to shedding those extra pounds. But did you know that when you eat could impact your hunger levels throughout the day? Personal trainer Maddie Biddulph suggests that timing your meals correctly can significantly affect your appetite and overall weight loss success.<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_28421627_S_6f39efb889.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_28421627_S.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_28421627_S_6f39efb889.jpg 234w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_28421627_S_6f39efb889.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_28421627_S_6f39efb889.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw">Secrets of Being SlimSo, what's the secret? According to Maddie, there isn't one. The fundamental principle remains: to lose weight, you need to maintain a calorie deficit. However, there are specific times when our bodies naturally burn more calories with less effort. Research from the University of Murcia in Spain has pinpointed the ideal breakfast time to be between 7:00 and 7:11 AM.<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_451565536_S_e75c20fcd0.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_451565536_S.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_451565536_S_e75c20fcd0.jpg 234w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_451565536_S_e75c20fcd0.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_451565536_S_e75c20fcd0.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw">But what if you're not a morning person and can't physically wake up at 7 AM to have breakfast? No worries! Nutrition expert Claire advises that you should aim to eat within an hour of waking up. Doing so helps keep your hunger hormones in check, making you feel fuller for longer.Skipping Main Meals is Not an Option!Dr. Short emphasizes the importance of balancing meal times. She explains that distributing your meals throughout the day is crucial for maintaining energy levels. Skipping meals, especially breakfast, is a big no-no. Contrary to popular belief, skipping breakfast can lead to weight gain and disrupt your metabolism. Having a well-timed breakfast can curb hunger until lunch, helping you avoid impulsive snacking.<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_77042257_S_1d925f7d6c.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_77042257_S.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_77042257_S_1d925f7d6c.jpg 234w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_77042257_S_1d925f7d6c.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_77042257_S_1d925f7d6c.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw">So, if you're aiming to see those numbers drop on the scale, consider setting your alarm a little earlier and making time for breakfast. Eating at the right time could be the simple yet effective strategy you've been missing in your weight loss journey!

Collagen is a complex protein made up of 19 different amino acids, crucial for maintaining the structure of our skin, joints, and other tissues. However, whether taking collagen supplements is beneficial remains a hot topic of debate.<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_632791618_S_1b4c63052d.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_632791618_S.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_632791618_S_1b4c63052d.jpg 234w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_632791618_S_1b4c63052d.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_632791618_S_1b4c63052d.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw">When you consume collagen through food or supplements, your digestive system breaks it down into individual amino acids. The bloodstream then absorbs these amino acids. The catch? There’s no guarantee your body will reassemble them back into collagen. This raises questions about the effectiveness of collagen supplements in their original form.The Power of a Balanced Diet<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_203626712_S_6a81861589.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_203626712_S.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_203626712_S_6a81861589.jpg 234w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_203626712_S_6a81861589.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_203626712_S_6a81861589.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw">Dermatologist Stephen Shumack argues that you can get the necessary "building blocks" for protein synthesis through a balanced diet, making it a more rational and cost-effective approach. A lot of collagen is found in seafood, meat, eggs, oranges, kiwi, and so on. “Collagen supplements are just a trend based on limited scientific data. Fortunately, they have no side effects,” Shumack adds.Research and Positive EffectsDespite the skepticism, some studies highlight the benefits of collagen supplements. For instance, a 12-week placebo-controlled study found that women over 35 who took collagen along with vitamins C, E, and zinc saw improved skin condition. Eleven other studies also support that collagen intake can enhance skin elasticity, moisture levels, and wound healing.<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_583565194_S_ea0d65c386.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_583565194_S.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_583565194_S_ea0d65c386.jpg 234w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_583565194_S_ea0d65c386.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_583565194_S_ea0d65c386.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw">Collagen supplements can be helpful in certain scenarios, especially if you have a deficiency in specific amino acids or need extra support for your joints and skin. However, for most people, a balanced diet remains the key to getting all the necessary amino acids and maintaining healthy skin and joints.
