According to Harvard nutritionists T.H. Chan School of Public Health, breakfast plays an important role in controlling weight and waist circumference. A scientific light menu helps kick-start metabolism, maintain energy and limit fat storage.
Suggestions for a simple light menu to help reduce belly fat:
Oatmeal + fresh fruit + nuts: Oatmeal is rich in soluble fiber, helps you feel full longer, stabilizes blood sugar. Add bananas, blueberries and almonds to supplement vitamins, minerals and good fats.
Boiled eggs + steamed green vegetables: Provide enough protein to help maintain muscle, promote fat burning. Green vegetables add fiber, vitamins and help the digestive system stay healthy.
Green smoothie: Combine spinach, cucumber, green apple and some chia seeds. This is a drink rich in fiber, low in calories, rich in antioxidants, helping to purify the body.
Note:
Avoid foods high in sugar and refined starch such as cakes and soft drinks.
Drink a glass of warm water with a few drops of lemon before breakfast to aid digestion.
Incorporate light morning exercise such as walking, plank or yoga to increase fat loss.
