4 BREAKFAST Foods That Will Speed Up Your Metabolism and Flatten Your Stomach
"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." We've all heard it before. So find out the best things to have for this meal to stay HEALTHY and FIT!
4 BREAKFAST Foods That Will Speed Up Your Metabolism and Flatten Your Stomach
1. PROTEIN
Tons of studies have shown that protein consumption increases the production of ghrelin, or "the hunger hormone". That means that eating it will give you the sensation of satiety and make you feel full and satisfied longer. A hard-boiled egg in the morning, for example, is a great way to start the day.
2. SAVORY OVER SWEET
Especially in the morning hours, it's best to avoid muffins, pies, cookies, and other overly sugary foods, which cause sudden glycemic peaks.
3. A BIT OF FAT IS OKAY
You heard us right! As you may already know, breakfast is the only time of the day that you can get by with eating fats (in moderation) without too much guilt. You have all day to burn it off.
4. OAT FLAKES RATHER THAN CEREAL
Even cereal that's marketed as "healthy" often contains hidden fats and sugars, and you have to consume more of it to feel full. Oats are more easily digestible and lighter, and they'll satiate your morning hunger.
