Here are three rules that you should follow when choosing breakfast, if you want to lose weight.
1. Have breakfast as soon as you get up
Studies show that breakfast activates metabolism, so try to eat as soon as you get up. It should be not later than 30-60 minutes after you wake up, so that your body would keep up with fat-burning potential. If you eat just after you got up, later you will not be starving, and you will be able to choose dishes for lunch and dinner more rationally. If you do not like to eat early in the morning, you can drink a smoothie.
2. Eat protein
If you eat food that is high in protein, such as eggs or Greek yogurt, it is likely that later in the day you will not have sudden hunger pangs, so you will eat less and eventually get rid of unnecessary kilograms. One study has showed that women who ate eggs for breakfast, dropped twice more weight than women who start their day with bagels. Eggs are high in protein, so they make you full quicker and help you consume fewer calories throughout the day.
3. Eat bananas
Products that contain resistant starch are also great for breakfast, because it stimulates your body to burn fat for energy, so we feel full longer and burn more calories. Resistant starch is found in bananas and oats, so you can eat oatmeal porridge flavored with fresh bananas.
