Due to jam-packed schedules, healthcare staffing specialists might occasionally skip breakfast. However, studies have shown that making the morning meal a daily habit can be among the best natural weight loss remedies.
To do this, focus on protein and fiber. Protein-packed food has been shown to release a powerful satiety signal called Peptide YY. People who consume a breakfast rich in protein tend to feel less hungry. Good options include scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, yogurt and berry parfaits and smoked turkey hash.
Similarly, fiber helps you stay full longer. Whether it’s oatmeal with fruit or whole grain toast, dig into anywhere from 4 to 8 grams of fiber to start your day.
A quick tip: If you’re looking to cut portion sizes in cereal, opt for the ones with bigger flakes. The smaller the flake size, the more calories people tend to consume, a study from Penn State found. This is because cereal that’s crushed into smaller pieces is denser, so people underestimate the number of calories.
