Eat This For Breakfast If You Want To Lose Weight
When you think of a filling meal first thing in the morning, you probably picture a full English breakfast. Bacon, eggs, sausage, and toast — it's one of the most substantial ways to start your day. But did you know there may be an even heartier option?
Wake Up And Smell The... Mushrooms?
It might sound a bit odd, but researchers at the University of Minnesota believe that fungi may be the ingredient that your power breakfast is missing.
Their study followed 32 participants over a 10-day study period. Each day, participants consumed either two servings of mushrooms or two servings of ground beef. Those who ate mushrooms for breakfast felt significantly fuller than those who ate meat for breakfast. These findings build on research conducted by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, which found that mushrooms can even lead to weight loss when substituted for meat.
The Magic of Mushrooms
In addition to staving off hunger pangs, mushrooms provide a vast array of other dietary benefits. They're low in calories and packed with vital nutrients, such as Vitamin D, fiber, selenium, and antioxidants.
Health aside, mushrooms also add a burst of flavor to any meal. So if you're looking for a tastier and more satiating breakfast, mushrooms may be the solution! Add them to an omelet or eat them on toast — the possibilities are endless.
