When attempting weight loss, a lot of folks think that skipping breakfast will save them some calories. They would rather save them so later in the day they can eat some fat and calorie laden treat that they would rather have. But, these food choices probably fall in the category of foods to avoid.
The biggest mistake you can make is to skip breakfast. After a night of sleep, your body needs some good nutrition as it has gone its longest without eating in a twenty four hour period. So, having something healthy to eat before running out the door in the morning is a must. However, there are some breakfast foods to avoid. You need to be aware of three types of foods that will cause weight gain.
The first foods to avoid category is low fat foods. They are usually advertised as a low fat food as there main selling point. You have to realize that the term low fat should never be associated with health food. An avocado is extremely healthy, but is loaded with fat: a very healthy fat that the cells of your body need.
When a food that's advertised as a low fat breakfast food attracts your interest, be sure to read the ingredient label. Foods that lack healthy fats are usually devoid of flavor. So, in order to make up for that, the food manufacturers add sugar, lots of sugar. That low fat food can actually lead to weight gain because of all that sugar.
Another category of breakfast foods to avoid is certain breakfast cereals. Again, when choosing any kind of cereal, you have to look at the label very closely to see what is really in the box. If you see huge amounts of sugar, you will want to avoid that brand. Commercial breakfast cereals are really a poor breakfast choice! They are typically over processed and devoid of real nutrition. A better choice would be plain oatmeal. Don't buy the instant stuff! Get the steel cut oats, organic if you can. Take the time to boil some water and simmer them for five minutes. Add some fruit, cinnamon, or honey if you want the oats to be sweeter. Now that's a good breakfast choice!
And finally, don't fall for choosing the breakfast muffin over a donut, or worse. Thinking a muffin is a healthier choice can be a big mistake. It can contain as much fat and sugar as the donut, it's just not deep fried. A store bought muffin, one that is loaded with fat and sugar, can contain as many as four hundred calories.
You must eat breakfast every day! But, be sure to eat breakfast at home! Choose foods like organic eggs, yogurt, fruit, organic oatmeal, or sprouted grain toast with nut butter. These are the kinds of foods that get your day off to a great start! And choose organic varieties of these foods as much as you can afford to!
