If the big day is coming up and you are looking to lose a few pounds so that you can look great in your wedding dress, the most important thing is to be consistent and build good habits when it comes to your diet. One thing that a lot of people do when they want to lose weight is skip breakfast, however it has been shown in studies that people who tend to skip breakfast actually don’t gain any better results by doing this and may even find that they don’t have as much energy to do activities that would help them burn fat.
If you want to fuel yourself for the day with some good breakfast foods that are low in calories but high in nutrients, here are some great ideas:
Smoothies
If you want a breakfast that you can prepare in advance and which you can also take with you on your commute, a smoothie can be a great option. However, people who tend to make their smoothies just with fruits can end up taking in too much sugar with their breakfast and having a higher calorie intake than they think. It is therefore important that when you make your smoothie, you include vegetables, and if you can, a source of protein. Some people even include things like red quinoa or protein powders to give them an extra boost. This can be a good idea if you are also looking to build muscle while you are on your diet.
Egg White Omelets
If you prefer a hot breakfast in the morning, a good thing to try is to make an omelet using only the whites of the eggs. This will give you the same fluffy texture, but with less fat. It will also give you a great source of protein and other nutrients. Include vegetables such as peppers and onions in your omelet recipe, and you can also consider lean meats such as low-fat ham or turkey bacon.
Muesli
If you are more of a cereal person when it comes to breakfast, muesli can be a good alternative. This is because it can contain grains and nuts, which will give you protein and fiber, and you can also add things like fruit to your mix. Make sure you use low-fat milk on your muesli to keep the fat content down. Avoid sugary cereals, or cereals with candy and other treats in it intended for children.
Fruit
A fruit salad in the morning made with things like melon, grapefruit, and orange can be a good choice, however, it is also a good idea to put some seeds in there to give you some protein and fiber.
Whether you like your breakfast hot, cold, or in a bowl with milk, there are plenty of healthy things that you can have that will leave you feeling satisfied and ready to begin your busy day.
