Want to Lose Weight Quick? Eat Breakfast.
July 21, 2009 | (0)
I was visiting a friend this weekend and noticed that she lost considerable weight since I saw her about a month ago. She looked 10-15 pounds lighter, so I asked her how she did it. Her response surprised me, but it shouldn’t have.
“I started eating breakfast.”
Me, “That’s it?!?”
“Yep.”
This guy has the right idea
So what are your best choices? Anything with low calorie density, which means you get a lot of bulk (yay fiber!) for fewer calories. Here are a few of my favorite kick-ass-cheap-and-easy breakfast ideas:
- Oatmeal with low fat milk and prunes (aka Colon Blow)
- A slice of whole wheat bread with peanut butter and banana
- Low fat yogurt and a piece of fruit, whatever is in season
- Whole wheat tortilla, a few slices of smoked turkey and some low fat cheese rolled up
The idea is to combine something with fiber with a low fat protein. I confess that when I’m regularly exercising I need two small “breakfast snacks” before noon. I usually start with yogurt and save the high fiber snack for when I get to my desk. Spreading it out like that helps keep my hunger at bay until lunch.
Will you accept a breakfast challenge? Try to eat breakfast at least five days a week for the next four weeks. I’d love to know if you see any difference in your health, whether it’s weight loss, more energy, or a reduction in snacking, binging and cravings.
