Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for a reason, so starting your day off with a nutritious meal is an awesome way to boost your metabolism and promote weight loss. With that in mind, if you struggle with your weight, changing up what you eat for breakfast could make a big difference in how quickly you see results.
Specifically, eating oatmeal in the morning could be a great way to start your day on the right foot.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is a great healthy option for anyone, but especially those who want to lose weight.
Oatmeal is an excellent source of fiber and healthy carbs. Plus, it has more protein than most grains. As all of these nutrients are part of a healthy and weight loss friendly diet, having oatmeal for breakfast is a great choice.
Oatmeal contains a healthy soluble fiber called beta-glucan with a long list of health benefits. According to Healthline, "[Beta-glucan] helps reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels, promotes healthy gut bacteria and increases feelings of fullness."
Oatmeal is also a great base for other weight loss friendly ingredients, and it's so easy to customize it--whether you want something sweet or savory.
Ingredients like avocado, peppers, eggs, and fruits are all common add-ons for oatmeal--and all of them bring their own host of weight loss benefits.
