00:00 So if we look at the day as a whole, you start the day, you're already dehydrated when you wake up.
00:05 So drinking water, hydrating is really important. So at first thing in the morning, 7am, drink water.
00:11 Lots of benefits here. It boosts your mood because you're rehydrating, it helps with energy levels
00:16 and it'll also help with weight loss because if you have a pint of water when you wake up,
00:20 you're less likely to have a fry-up or you're less likely to have so many calories because you feel fuller.
00:26 So when we get to 8am, this is the time when you're going to have your breakfast and protein
00:31 is definitely good for satiety, fills you up. You're going to eat less carbohydrates if you
00:35 have protein. So we used to say go to work on an egg, didn't we, back in the day? It's still true.
00:39 So eggs are a really good source of protein. Start with something like that and you're going to eat
00:44 less carbohydrates later on in the morning. When you get to 9am, this is the time when people are
00:49 thinking about coffee. Well actually, if you delay the coffee till now, instead of having it with your
00:54 breakfast, it's good because your stress hormone cortisol is at its highest 45 minutes after you
00:59 get up in the morning. So you're geared up with cortisol. Have your coffee a bit later, then you
01:04 maintain your stimulation, your motivation to get on with the day.
