Controlling your food longings and dropping pounds fast is easy:Just eat breakfast.The editors of Eat This,Not That! carried out research to determine some best breakfast foods for weight loss.
Black Beans
Protein,per 1/2 cup:7g
Black beans will not only fill you up for hours but also help slim you down.Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center researchers found that with black beans consumed daily,study participants' fat reduced by 4 percent over two years.
Peanut Butter
Protein,per 2 tbsp(汤匙):78g
While processed peanut butter is filled with sugar and oils,the real stuff is made with just two ingredients:salt and peanuts.The peanut is filled with hearthealthy monounsaturated(单一不饱和的) fats.Nutritionist and personal trainer Kristin Reisinger suggests using the healthy fat in an AM smoothie.
Almond Butter
Protein,per 2 tbsp:78g
“Almond butter is high in protein,fiber and monounsaturated fats,”says Martha McKittrick,RDN,CDE.“Studies have also shown that people who eat nuts are less likely to become overweight than those who avoid them,because it helps you feel fuller.”To get the benefits at breakfast,McKittrick suggests spreading some nut butter on the whole grain toast.
Eggs
Protein,per two large eggs:13g
“Eggs are an excellent source of protein and other healthy nutrients including fatburning choline(胆碱),”says McKittrick.Choline,also found in lean(瘦的) meats,seafood and collard greens,attacks the gene mechanism that causes your body to store fat around your liver(肝脏),according to Zero Belly Cookbook.The more eggs you eat,the less eggshaped you get.
