In this video I’m going to show you the top 10 breakfast foods for weight loss
We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but did you ever stop to think why? For a start, taking the time to consume a nutritious breakfast in the morning will prevent you from hitting the inevitable mid-morning starvation stage and reaching for whatever empty-calorie snack happens to be the closest to you. Not only that, but not having breakfast is a guaranteed way to start your day off wrong, by giving yourself absolutely zero energy to get you through until lunch time.
When you wake up in the morning, you’ve just endured a whole night of no nourishment, which is why your body needs food – fast. It can be tempting to succumb to your hunger pangs and cook yourself a fry-up or stop for a drive-through McDonald’s McMuffin on the way to work, but the nutritional value of your breakfast is just as important as actually eating the breakfast itself.
If you start the day with sugar, you’ll only spike your blood sugar, which will then drop suddenly and leave you hungrier than ever before it’s even lunch time. Greasy, fatty breakfast foods are just as bad – you’re putting all of the wrong ingredients into your body, which will only leave you craving more food later on in the day.
Don’t think that skipping breakfast is the way to achieve your weight loss goals. The easiest way to naturally and gradually lose weight over a sustained period of time is to manage the foods that you’re eating, not cut them out. Luckily, there are specific breakfast foods that have proven effective in a weight loss diet, and we’re here to share 10 of the best with you now.
1. Poached eggs
Eggs are a staple breakfast food, but their nutritional value entirely depends upon the way you prepare them. While fried eggs are definitely not the best breakfast option, poached eggs are the way forward. Eggs are a low-calorie food that are rich in protein and other weight-loss nutrients. Studies have found that eggs boost metabolic activity and increase feelings of fullness, which means if you choose to start your day with eggs, you’re more likely to feel satisfied right through until lunch time.
To poach an egg, simply crack one or two eggs into a bowl, then bring a pan of water to a simmer. Tip the eggs into the pan and cook for a couple of minutes, then turn off the heat and leave the eggs in the pan for another ten minutes.
2. Berries
If you’re a fan of a sweet breakfast, ditch the sugar on your cereal and go for berries instead. Research shows that berries, like raspberries and blueberries, contain specific properties that can help you lose weight. They’re packed full of fibre, which your body takes longer to break down, so it slows down digestion and keeps you fuller for longer. Another study found that raspberries contain a compound called ketones, which boosts the metabolism and speeds up the breakdown of fat.
It’s easy to incorporate berries into your breakfast foods. You can sprinkle them over your porridge or muesli, blitz them into a smoothie or even bake them into a batch of breakfast muffins. Fresh or frozen is fine – there shouldn’t be much difference in nutritional value.
3. Green tea
It’s not just the foods you eat at breakfast that can help you to lose weight, but also the beverages you drink. Green tea has long been a staple breakfast accompaniment, and love it or hate it, it’s incredibly good for you. It’s thought that the flavonoids and caffeine in green tea can help speed up the body’s metabolic rate, as well as increasing fat oxidation and even improving insulin activity. This is backed by a number of studies that directly link green tea consumption with weight loss.
Green tea is widely available in most supermarkets, so switch up your regular morning cuppa with a green alternative every now and then for the best weight loss results. If you’re not a fan of the green tea flavour, try adding lemon juice or a bit of honey – but no sugar!
4. Greek yogurt
With its thick, creamy texture, it’s easy to see why Greek yogurt is a favourite breakfast food for so many people. And good news – it’s also really good for you, thanks to its impressive protein, calcium, iodine, and potassium content. Studies have found evidence that Greek yogurt, which is a relatively low-calorie breakfast option, can help you feel fuller for longer. If you’re using it in place of higher calorie foods, like cheese and cream, you’ll get the same satisfaction while promoting weight loss.
When buying Greek yogurt, go for one that’s the lowest in fat and sugars, and don’t be tempted by artificial flavourings. You can always add a little natural sweetness to your yogurt yourself with berries and honey, or sprinkle with nuts for a bit of crunch.
