Whether or not you are trying to lose weight, you should consider eating foods that boost your metabolism. Not only can a faster metabolism lead to faster weight loss, but it can help you feel more energized throughout the day because your body gets the best possible energy out of your meals. This is why it is especially important to eat a metabolism-boosting breakfast.
The best food you can eat for breakfast to increase your metabolism in the mornings is low-fat Greek yogurt. Most of us know of Greek yogurt as a health food, but not everyone realizes just how great it is for you. It is rich in calcium, vitamin D and probiotics, which help you burn fat and regulate the gut for improved digestion.
What Greek Yogurt Does For Your Metabolism
Greek yogurt is also very high in protein, which is essential to improving your metabolism speed. Keeping your diet high in protein will help you digest faster and burn calories faster than your average pace. A serving of Greek yogurt can have as much as 17 grams of protein. Plus, the probiotics in Greek yogurt help promote gut health so you digest your food better.
