Yes, this is right. It is very true that incorporating more green leafy vegetables into your meals gives you a boost in helping lose fat.

There are a few reasons why this can be so.

Studies that have researched eating veggies with the first meal of the day show that compounds found in green leafy vegetables can significantly increase post-meal levels of satiety. Meaning you feel fuller for longer, helping prevent the possibility of feeling hungry sooner, which may cause morning snacking.

Along with this significant benefit, meta-analysis studies reveal that for every additional serving of vegetables consumed, each day resulted in an average of 0.36cm of waist reduction. This is amazing.

All in all, for health benefits and fat loss, the more vegetables you can get in the day, the better. One area most of us can leverage better is breakfast. Most people miss out on any vegetable consumption in their first meal. If you do include veggies in that first meal, it will give you a greater metabolic advantage for fat loss.

And the great thing is that there is a wide variety of green leafy vegetables to choose from, and they are easily incorporated into a meal. Leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, bok choy, lettuce varieties, cabbage, and arugula can all be included in your first meal providing an abundance of micronutrients. You could add these greens to an omelet, sautee them in olive oil, have them as a side salad, or blend them in a super smoothie—all easy and practical choices.

Another option I have been using myself lately is having a Super Greens supplement first thing in the morning.

Aim to include two servings in your first meal to get a supercharged start to your day.
