Eating breakfast helps with weight loss

Breakfast is the fuel that gets your metabolism going. By eating breakfast you get your metabolism working for you and you also feel satisfied so you are less likely to overeat during the rest of the day. There have been numerous studies on the effects of eating breakfast and weight loss and they all come to the same conclusion: those who eat breakfast are more successful at weight loss than those who don't eat breakfast.

You say you don't have time for breakfast? With these quick and easy breakfast ideas there are no excuses.

  • a bowl of whole grain cereal with skim or 1% milk
  • peanut or almond butter on whole grain breadBreakfast_2
  • oatmeal (instant or quick cooking oats) with raisins and almonds
  • low-fat yogurt with fruit and granola
  • whole grain waffles with fruit
  • leftovers from last night's dinner

Any breakfast is better than no breakfast. Try to chose foods from 2 or more food groups. Your best best is a protein and a carbohydrate (one that has 3 or more grams of fiber per serving) to help keep you satisfied until lunch time.
