Why you shouldn't Skip Breakfast: Eating a Healthy Breakfast is essential if you're trying to Lose Weight.
Eating breakfast revs up your metabolism and helps prevent you from overeating throughout the day. Remember that you're going without eating for 7 to 9 hours while you sleep, so your body requires nutrients at breakfast.
Breakfast Made Easy: Breakfast bars and Good Breakfast Options!
With everyone being so busy, breakfast bars are becoming more and more popular and they can be a good breakfast option- as long as you get the right one!
To make sure you're getting a breakfast bar of good quality, look for one that contains higher levels of fiber and protein, with lower levels of fat and sugar.
Since most good breakfasts include some type of a carbohydrate source, best choices will include whole grains of some sort. These will help you feel fuller longer because they take longer to digest than refined carbs.
Long-term studies have shown that women who choose whole grains over processed, refined products gain less weight as they age. In fact, one long-term study showed that women with the highest intake of fiber (from foods such as oatmeal and whole grain breakfast cereals) were half as likely to become obese later in life than those who eat lower amounts of fiber.
With this in mind, some good breakfast options would be:
* 1 cup of oatmeal with 1 tablespoon of raisins and 1 cup of skim milk
* 2 pieces of whole-grain toast with 1 tablespoon of peanut or almond butter
* 1 cup of bran cereal with 1 cup skim milk and 1/2 cup blueberries
* 1 cup of fat-free cottage cheese or yogurt with a fat-free bran muffin.
