BURN FAT FASTER

Up with the larks? Good start. Now optimise your extra hours by enjoying a better breakfast

How a little morning sunlight can scorch stubborn belly fat

✘ GRANOLA

Your bowl might look healthy, but the grains will be baked in oils and syrup, making this dish best left to cheat-day.

✘ VITA COCO

Sure, it’s better than a coke, but each 250ml glass of coconut water still packs 12g of sugar. Not exactly beach ready.

✘ SAUSAGES

Unlike butcher’s bangers, storebought sausages can pack just 70% meat – leaving plenty of room for lardy fillers.

✔ PROATS

For guilt-free sweetness, soak your high-fibre oats overnight with chocolate- or vanilla-flavoured protein powder.

✔ WATER

Downing two glasses before a meal will boost your metabolic rate by 30%, says Obesity journal, to burn more fat.

✔ BACON

Kyoto University found the nutrient coenzyme Q10 in your rashers could double fat-burn during your workouts.
