Lose Belly Fat Diet Breakfast
IT's said to be the most important meal of the day.
And by picking the right food, you could make breakfast the healthiest too.
In particular, there are several different breakfast meals that you could and should start your day with to maximise your weight loss goals.
And having a well-balanced diet is vital in blitzing body fat, especially around your stomach.
Here, we talk you through the five best breakfasts to eat in order to achieve your weight loss goals...
1. A bowl of granola
While many people believe anything carb-heavy can ruin an otherwise good diet, they are a vital part when it comes to starting the day.
In particular, fibre is a powerful appetite suppressant, so starting your day with foods such as a bowl of granola is great way to stay on track with your weight loss journey.
Top nutritionist Susie Burrell says: "Unless you are specifically following a low carb or keto program, adding some wholegrain low GI carbs to your breakfast mix is the best way to help replenish your body after the overnight fast, and ensure your brain and muscles have all the energy they need to be at their best.
"If cereal is your thing look out for low sugar granola options or oats, fresh fruit is a great option to add too."

2. Yoghurt
With it being low in both fat and calories, yoghurt is the ideal food to eat for breakfast if your hoping to lose weight.
It can help improve your digestive health, and combat against any potential bloating and excessive gas through the probiotics it contains.
Meghan Markle's nutritionist even emphasised the benefits of yoghurt - admitting that she tells her clients to eat the dairy treat before every meal.
And a recent study undertaken at the University of Tennessee revealed just how good yoghurt is for blitzing belly fat.
The results revealed that participants who ate 18 ounces of yoghurt per day (as well as reducing their overall calorie intake) lost, on average, 81 per cent more belly fat compared to those who opted to diet without eating yoghurt.
It's also a great source for vitamins and minerals too, with zinc, iodine, potassium and vitamin B5 all active within yoghurt.
3. Eggs
Having protein at the start of the day is a great way to help stay healthy and remain lean.
Nutritionist Susie says: "Consuming 20-30g of high quality protein via foods such as eggs is the easiest way to set the platform for a day of healthy eating.
"Not only will a high protein breakfast help to regulate blood glucose levels throughout the morning and keep you full for several hours, but protein rich foods actually require more calories to digest than carbohydrate rich foods thus helping to boost metabolic rate."
Studies have shown that eating eggs for breakfast significantly increased feelings of fullness and reduced food intake later in the day.
Quick breakfast tips
- Always choose brown over white when it comes to bread
- Keep croissants, muffins and pastries as an occasional treat
- Use as little oil as possible and use sunflower, olive or rapeseed oil instead of butter
- Add extra fruit and veg whenever you can
- Ditch the "breakfast drinks" - Diabetes UK tested one 330ml drink and found it contained 32g of sugar which is more than the RDA of free sugars for adults
- Don't buy kids' cereals. Only buy low-sugar alternatives like Shredded Wheat

4. Berries
Berries are a bit of a secret weapon when it comes to achieving a slim physique.
Research has found that going for red or blue coloured fruit - such as cherries, blueberries, blackberries and red grapes - can help you lose that unwanted belly fat.
The chemicals which give the fruit their brightly-coloured appearance can also burn stomach fat and help you get the abdominal area you're after.

5. Avo on toast
We don't always need to cut out fat when it comes to weight loss.
Susie says: "Goods fats not only offer a range of key nutrients but adding some good fat to a meal helps to ensure that you will be kept fuller for longer after eating.
"Avocado works well with toast and smoothies."
Just make sure you always choose brown over white bread if you're planning on putting avocado on toast.
And finally...have water on the side
It may seem a bit contradictory, but one of the best ways to lose water weight is to actually drink more water.
That's because if you're constantly dehydrated, your body tends to retain more water in an attempt to prevent its water levels getting too low.
Water also boosts your metabolism, cleanses your body of waste and acts as an appetite suppressant, experts say.
It's almost important for your liver and kidney health too.
But it is possible to drink too much, which can have the opposite desired effect, so it's key to strike a balance.
Guidelines suggest about two litres per day, but it can vary from person to person, so simply drink when you're thirsty and stop when you feel well hydrated.
You can usually use your urine colour as an indicator of hydration - if it's light yellow or fairly clear then you're well hydrated.
When it's dark yellow or amber then you need to be drinking more water.
