By Faryn Clark


Intake of morning meal is a healthy habit for weight control. Research has proven that subjects who take breakfast regularly tend to be leaner and are successful at achieving weight loss. Apart from losing weight through diet plan, people who eat breakfast can effortlessly keep it off. Moreover, people who take breakfast get adequate nutrients, fiber, calcium, riboflavin, vitamins A and C, iron and zinc. Intake of breakfast cereal helps to manage fat level and dietary cholesterol as it cereals are fortified with naturally nutrient-rich fruits, vitamins and minerals. Daily intake of cereal for breakfast can sound monotonous at times and one can try mixing up the morning meal with some of the below mentioned foods that promote weight loss.

1. Oatmeal

Oatmeal works in 2 ways to enhance weight loss. First, it is rich in fiber and it creates stomach fullness for longer period. Second, a recently performed study claims that morning meal intake, containing "slow-release" carbohydrates can burn fat in the body. Slow release carbs include oatmeal or bran cereal and they are advised to be taken 2 to 3 hours before pre-workout session. The "slow-release" carbohydrates do not increase blood sugar levels as high as refined carbohydrates. In addition, the surge of insulin levels can be prevented as it promotes fat accumulation, while decreased blood glucose levels can burn excess fat. One should prefer taking 1 serving of (rolled or steel cut oats) oatmeal along with either a dried fruit touch of honey or applesauce or brown sugar for little sweetness.

2. Berries

A healthy breakfast meal should include berries of all kinds including blueberries, cranberries, strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. These fruits can be added to an oatmeal, cold cereal, yogurt, pancakes or French toast. Berries abundantly contain are anti-inflammatory compounds, referred to as anthocyanins, which are effective in preventing diabetes, heart disease and improve eyesight and short-term memory. Dieters can prefer taking a cup of raspberries, which delivers up to 8 grams of fiber. Recent research suggests that adequate intake of fiber can encourage weight loss and prevent weight gain. The researchers have demonstrated that boosting fiber intake by 8 grams for every 1,000 calories promoted weight loss by up to 4 pounds.

3. Nonfat greek yogurt

Nonfat Greek yogurt offers several health benefits as it contains a protein that curbs hunger when compared to a traditional yogurt. It is highly recommended to fend off the mid-morning hunger pangs. Yogurt is a rich source of protein that helps to get leaner. According to researchers, consumption of yogurt and other dairy products contain whey protein naturally. Whey protein is a type of protein that aids in weight loss. In addition, whey protein helps to build lean muscle mass by up to 7 percent. Plain yogurt helps to save calories and is a best substitute for sugary foods.

4. Eggs

Eggs are highly advised to dieters as they contain necessary protein than fat and carbohydrates. Moreover, one can feel fuller for longer period by taking protein. A research study claims that dieters who consume eggs for breakfast experienced no appetite for food and refrained from food cravings. They also lost their weight twice more than those who received the same number of calories through a breakfast bagel.

5. Peanut butter

According to the Harvard researchers, it has been demonstrated that nuts are top the list among weight loss promoting foods. A whole wheat toast, a slow-release carbohydrate can be taken along with 1 or 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Alternately, one take nuts along with another "slow-release" carb, an oatmeal breakfast.

6. Cottage cheese

One can take a low-fat cottage cheese as their breakfast in combination with fresh fruit. It creates stomach fullness and keeps one to keep away from cravings longer. Cottage cheese delivers only a gram of fat and up to 16 grams of protein that helps to cut off hunger for the day.

7. Flaxseeds

8. Whole grain cereal
