Healthiest Breakfasts To Boost Weight Loss And Melt Inches Of Your Waistline Fast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Starting your day with a healthy, nutritious meal can make you feel more energized and prepared for the day to come. On the other hand, skipping breakfast can set you up for overeating later in the day, usually in the evening, which is the worst. One carefully selected breakfast can make all the difference when it comes to weight loss and can help you shed off the extra weight easily. According to Erica Giovinazzo, MS, RD, a nutritionist at Clay Health Club and Spa, in New York City, you need to go for a breakfast which combines good carbs and fibers with some protein. Here are 10 of the healthiest breakfasts, recommended by experts, which will stimulate weight loss and improve your health in general.

Breakfast 1: Oatmeal with added blueberries, almonds and honey. Oats are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, folate, and potassium. They also contain beta-glucan (fiber) that can help lower cholesterol if consumed regularly. Blueberries have less calories than a lot of other fruits (just 80 calories per cup), so you can pile them onto your oatmeal without worrying about your waistline. And they taste so good!

Breakfast 2: Muesli with fresh milk or Greek yogurt and a glass of fresh juice. Greek yogurt is loaded with calcium and contains a lot of protein, nearly two times more than regular yogurt to keep you feeling full throughout the morning.

Breakfast 3: Oatmeal (or other whole grain meal) with yogurt or fruits and 1-2tsp. flaxseed oil. Adding flaxseed into a smoothie or bowl of cereal will turn your breakfast into a gold mine of omega-3 fatty acids. Two tablespoons of this oil have more than 100% of your recommended daily intake for those heart-healthy fats.

Breakfast 4: Fruit salad – oranges, apples, pears and bananas, sprinkled with some grapefruit juice. All fruits are healthy but bananas are among the best sources of resistant starch, a healthy carbohydrate that keeps you feeling fuller longer. Grapefruit juice on the other hand, can help you slim down faster, because of its fat-burning properties and positive effect on blood sugar and insulin levels.

Breakfast 5: Sandwich – Whole wheat bread, chicken meat, some hard cheese and lettuce. When eating a sandwich for breakfast the simple rule you need to follow is that whole wheat and other whole grains contain much more fiber and nutrients than their white, refined counterparts, and less empty calories.

Breakfast 6: Scrambled eggs with herbs and fresh vegetables. Even though they were avoided in the past, especially by those who wanted to lose weight, eggs are now making a comeback. They are now welcomed as a healthy source of protein and nutrients like vitamin D. When it comes to vegetables you cannot go wrong, whatever you choose, as long as it’s fresh and preferably organic.

Breakfast 7: Yogurt mixed with half a sliced banana, half a sliced apple and 2-3 tbsp. wholegrain cereal. This is a true power bomb – whole grains to make you feel full, protein to give you energy throughout the day, and antioxidants to give your immune system a boost.
