Weight Loss At Breakfast: Delicious Ideas

by angela.booth on July 9, 2011

Yoghurt

We’re told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and so it is, especially if you’re trying to lose weight. I’ve had several questions about easy and delicious breakfast ideas, so here we go — enjoy. :-)

Here’s my favorite, which I mentioned in this article, Easy Weight Loss Breakfast Recipes | Weight Loss: Thirty Days to a Slimmer You. Try a:

Fruit smoothie. This is a great way to get something sweet and yet nutritious to help wean you away from those sugary breakfast cereals. Empty one single-serving container of plain low- or non-fat yogurt into your blender or food processor. Add one half-cup of your favorite fruit. Try berries, bananas, or any other fruit you like. Blend the mixture for a half-minute and pour into a tall glass. For an extra frothy version, add crushed ice.”

Also try:

* A couple of bananas. Even if you’re not on the famous morning banana diet (my own favorite weight loss and weight loss maintenance diet, BTW), a couple of bananas, with water, are a wonderful way to start the day. You’ll have so much energy you’ll fly through your morning — and you won’t be hungry.

* Yoghurt. REAL yoghurt, not the “fat free” kind. A recent study suggested that people who ate fat free foods tended to put on weight. No idea why this is, other than the fact that you do need fats in your diet, and when you don’t get them, your metabolism suffers.

* Dried fruit. If you’re in a rush, just pop a small handful of dried raisins into a cup or plastic bag on your way out the door. If you have half a minute, mix a tablespoon of peanut butter with a tablespoon of raisins and slather on a piece of bread. Fold the bread, and eat.

* Frozen fruit. Pop a couple of bananas in the freezer, and eat them for breakfast — with a spoon. Delicious and creamy. Or grab a cup of blueberries and wiz them in a blender with a cup of yoghurt.

* Decadent: raisin bread. Toast a thick slice, and eat. Yes, you can scrape some butter across it.

Need to lose weight? There’s one easy tip you can put into practice today. You don’t need to deny yourself anything. In fact, it’s huge fun.

Here it is: get more sleep.

This Lose Belly Fat Fast: 3 Tips to Trim Your Tummy | Weight Loss: Thirty Days to a Slimmer You tells you why sleep is essential:

“When you sleep, your body conducts needed repairs, and produces all the things you need to sustain life. One of those things your body produces during the hours you’re asleep is hormones. Studies have shown that when you don’t get enough sleep, the production of hormones like leptin, which governs appetite control and fat conversion, is disrupted.”

Commit to sleep. Yes, I know you’re busy. But if you’re rested, you’ll get more done, and you’ll feel much better. More to the point, your body will work better too. You won’t feel as hungry, and your body will burn fat.

Try going to bed half an hour earlier. Turn off the TV at least an hour before bedtime. Take a relaxing bath.

Then get into bed, and close your eyes. Are you comfortable? Your bedroom should be neither too hot, nor too cold.

Relax. Close your eyes.

Instead of worrying, imagine yourself in a wonderful location. Perhaps the location of your last vacation. Day dream about this location, as you drift off to sleep…
