Tip 1: Kick-Start Your Metabolism with Breakfast
Research suggests that people who are most successful at losing weight eat breakfast every day. Start your morning with a healthy, energizing and metabolism-revving breakfast using these 3 ingredients: whole grains and lean protein to help you stay full right through until lunch and some fruit or vegetables for added fiber.
Tip 2: The Number One Food You Should Eat for a Healthy Breakfast
Oatmeal is as close to perfect as you can get for a breakfast food.
For starters, it’s quick (less than 5 minutes if you’re using the quick-cooking kind). It’s got 4 grams of fiber per cup and research suggests that increasing your intake of soluble fiber (a type of fiber found in oatmeal) by 5 to 10 grams each day could result in a 5 percent drop in “bad” LDL cholesterol. If you top it with fruit, like 1/4 cup of raspberries for example, it’s not only delicious, but you also tack on an additional 2 grams of fiber. That means you’re well on your way to that extra 5 to 10 grams of fiber with just your breakfast. AND it could help you lose weight in two way with all that wonderful fiber making you feel fuller longer. Here’s a simple way to make a bowl of oatmeal, and some topping suggestions to make it tasty:
Tip 3: Eat Breakfast After You Work Out
Do you exercise in the morning? If you do, consider pushing your morning meal to after your workout—as it may help your weight-loss efforts, according to new research in The Journal of Physiology. During the six-week study, participants who ate a high-cal, high-fat breakfast before hitting the gym packed on an average of three pounds.
Tip 4: Power Up with Protein
Protein provides staying power, helping to keep you feeling full long after you've eaten, which is why it's such a great choice for breakfast. Better yet, recent research has shown that if you work out in the morning and refuel afterwards with a protein-packed breakfast you can boost muscle building.
Tip 5: Fight Fat with Breakfast
Yes, you read that correctly! A recent study in The Journal of Nutrition found that eating a breakfast made with “slow-release” carbohydrates, such as oatmeal or bran cereal, three hours before you exercise may help you burn more fat. Here’s why: in the study, eating “slow-release” carbohydrates didn’t spike blood sugar as high as eating refined carbohydrates, such as white toast. In turn, insulin levels didn’t spike as high and because insulin plays a role in signaling your body to store fat, having lower levels may help you burn fat.
Tip 6: Should You Eat Breakfast If You’re Not Hungry?
Eating a morning meal is a healthy habit. Research shows that regular breakfast eaters tend to be leaner and dieters are more successful at losing weight—and keeping it off—when they eat breakfast. What’s more, people who typically eat breakfast also get more fiber, calcium, vitamins A and C, riboflavin, zinc and iron—and less fat and dietary cholesterol. Perhaps it’s because they often eat cereal, which is fortified with vitamins and minerals, and fruit, which is naturally nutrient-rich.
Not hungry when you first get up? Don’t worry. Eating breakfast doesn’t have to be the first thing you do each day. Just make sure that when you do eat, your meal is something that will sustain you for a few hours—it should include some fiber and protein.
Tip 7: Which Is Healthier: Pancakes or Eggs?
When you’re cooking at home, either pancakes or eggs can be a healthy choice. When you’re making pancakes from scratch they can have a lot of healthy qualities. First, you can make them with whole grains like whole-wheat flour, which will add heart-healthy, filling fiber. You can also add extra-healthy toppings, such as fruit to boost vitamins and fiber- and protein-packed nuts to transform them into a nutritious breakfast. However, pancakes are not particularly high in protein—another food component that helps you feel fuller longer. Add to that maple syrup—or worse, a maple syrup knockoff!—which just adds more sugar (i.e., empty calories) to your meal, and we’re looking at a breakfast that might be tasty, but doesn’t power you through the morning.
On the flip side, a single egg is only 70 calories (that’s if you eat it hard-boiled or poached, not fried or scrambled in butter or oil). Plus, egg whites deliver protein (4 grams each) and the yolk delivers some vitamin D, plus lutein and zeaxanthin, two antioxidants that help protect against macular degeneration. For an extra health boost, pair the eggs with vegetables—sautéed onions, peppers, broccoli and spinach are some of my favorites (or try this veggie-filled Quick Breakfast Taco and more easy egg recipes)—for added fiber and nutrients. This is a breakfast that will keep you feeling full and satisfied for hours.
So, unless it’s a whole-grain, nut-flecked, bursting-with-berries kind of pancake, I’d usually stick with eggs because they’re more inherently nutritious and higher in protein, which will keep you feeling full on fewer calories.
