Countless diet plans and workouts can help you healthily lose weight. The 30 – 30 – 30 method is the latest weight loss method that has become the trend on the internet. Its proponents and practitioners claim it to be the best weight loss method that combines exercise and diet to achieve the best results. The method involves consuming a wholesome breakfast containing 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up. Besides, you need to do at least 30 minutes of exercise daily.
Those who have successfully tried this plan say that eating breakfast within 30 minutes of waking up restores metabolism. This would apparently regulate the blood sugar level and help in weight loss. Meanwhile, it also provides the energy required for exercising in the morning. Moreover, it prevents overeating during the rest of the day as it controls appetite.

The protein–workout combination
Including 30 grams of protein in your breakfast strengthens your muscles and helps to control your appetite. This would also help you reduce weight without losing the lean muscle mass. You can ensure 30 grams of protein by including lean meat, eggs, milk products, and nuts. Besides, your breakfast platter should also contain healthy fats and carbohydrates. When 30 minutes of exercise is combined with the other rules of 30, the metabolic rate increases, burning calories faster. Aerobic exercises like brisk walking, running, and cycling, as well as strength training like weightlifting and body weight exercises, could be included in your workout pattern. Many people comment on social media that the 30 -30- 30 rule is effective if followed consistently. However, it is better to consult a doctor before trying a new dieting plan or workout method, as everyone’s health conditions are different.
