Do you feel lethargic after eating high-carb snacks like bread, biscuits, rusk, or cereal? Besides helping you lose weight, your diet also has a big impact on your mood, blood sugar levels, and appetite.

According to studies, eating carbohydrates right after waking up can affect chemicals like dopamine, insulin, and cortisol, which can make you feel unfulfilled, worsen your mood, and ultimately lead to weight gain. But if you consume protein instead of carbohydrates, you may feel satisfied for longer. Due to this, you do not eat much food during the day and night. So choose eggs instead of oatmeal, nuts, and seeds instead of biscuits. Also, choose gram flour paratha instead of potato paratha.

A great way to give your body the energy it needs for a busy day is to start your day with a variety of nutritious foods. Morning is the best time to have a high-nutrient diet. During those times, fruits, nuts, and proteins provide your body with the right fuel. Nutritionist Manpreet Kalra recently took to Instagram to share five reasons why you shouldn't start your day with carbs.
