The One Drink Celebrities NEVER Have In The Morning Because It Slows Your Metabolism
August 18, 2018 by Emily Belfiore
The morning is a crucial time for your metabolism as it sets the tone for how it will function throughout the day, which is why it’s important to have foods and drinks that are loaded with nutrients and minerals that will keep your metabolism revved all day long. Not sure which breakfast favorites you should be avoiding? For most celebrities, fruit juices are on their no-no list as they can be loaded with sugar and can slow their metabolisms.
“People end up drinking as much of it as they would like and don’t realize how it can really add up in sugar and calories,” Scott Kahan, the director of the National Center for Weight and Wellness in Washington, D.C., tells TIME.
Plus, most fruit juices lack fiber, which Kahan says is the most important element needed to keep your metabolism boosted enough to burn calories. “Fiber, from any source, is known to cause more satiety and leads to at least a little bit of weight loss, so keeping the fiber in is a smart way to go,” he continues.
