Most of us know what foods are good or bad for our health, but our natural desire usually defeat most of us. People have the option to eat that candy bar that’s full of fat and sugar or not to, but when we are giving the option this is the real dilemma. Do we do the right thing when it comes to food? I don’t think so; we always blame fast-food restaurants and any food contains big amount of fat and calories, and forget that we go their and buy their products right. What this post is focusing on is your breakfast meal. Many people according to different studies start their day off wrong by eating foods high in fat, salt and sugar, nutritionists say are ready to lose weight and flat that tummy? Then follow these ways to change your breakfast meal habit.
Check your cereal: Nutritionists say look for cereals with at least five grams of fiber and no more than eight grams of sugar per serving. They also said watch out from granola, which sounds health but can be high in fat and sugar.
Try new toppings: Instead of pouring regular syrup on pancakes or French toast, experiment with fresh fruit (or a 100 percent fruit spread), a little peanut butter or sugar-free syrup. Instead of cream cheese on bagels, try skim ricotta cheese or a thin layer of almond butter.
Pay attention to breakfast bars: Make sure to check labels for sugar and calories, or substitute whole-grain toast with a 100 percent fruit spread.
Wheat Wheat Wheat: whole-wheat bread and small whole-grain bagels are healthier and more filling that doughnuts, pastries and biscuits.
Meat options: As you know most bacon and sausage is high in fat, salt and calories. Low-fat brand and turkey bacon and ham are better. Looking for something healthier? Choose grilled chicken or salmon.
Common Sense – add fruits and vegetables: Add them in wherever you can, including omelets, yogurt and cereal.
Make smoothies: Rather than one big glass of juice, fill up by blending a half cup each of orange juice and plain low-fat yogurt with half a banana and some frozen berries.
These simple ways may change your life, and make you feel better all day
