Top 3 Tips for a Healthy Breakfast

You wake up late, get ready for work in a hurry and rush out without even thinking of breakfast. Perhaps if you are lucky, you just run to the nearest diner and grab a pastry, perhaps some sausage and eggs or maybe some bagels. Unfortunately, none of the above is a healthy option to begin your day with. And it certainly does not help your weight loss program. You just need to make a few changes to stop your typical breakfast from sabotaging your weight loss efforts.

3 Simple Tips for a Healthy Breakfast

Here are some of the easiest and most effective tips for a healthy breakfast.

ØNo More Drive Through Breakfasts: Say bye-bye to all those fast food joints you rushed into while going to work and start making healthier choices. Think of your breakfast as a way to fuel your body for working throughout the day. A donut is no good. Eggs and sausages will just help to weigh you down. Start thinking of healthier choices instead of settling for the fast and convenient option.

ØHealthy Calories Count Too: Keep a count of how much fruit juice you drink. 6oz of fruit juice contains around 80 to 100 calories. The next time you have fruit juice, gulp down a glass of water. This will help quench your thirst as well as fill you up, so you drink less juice. The best option however, will be to go for the real thing instead of drinking fruit juice. Fruit juices can lead to a rise in your blood sugar and insulin levels which may stimulate your hunger. Whole fruits on the other hand are full of fiber which helps to curb appetite.

ØBe a Choosy Customer: If however, you still go to a diner for your breakfast, order healthier food. Ask them to make a few healthier changes to your order. Opt for eggs without the bacon, ask them to substitute whole eggs for egg whites. Check whether they have healthier options like whole wheat bagel, yogurt, cottage cheese or fruits. Steer clear of hash browns, home fries and breakfast meats as they all have high calorie content.
