The Best Breakfasts For Weight Loss

Your breakfast choices lay the foundation for your entire day and your long-term health. But you don’t have to stick with the traditional options.

Whether you prefer eggs, yogurt, or oatmeal, getting a healthy breakfast under your belt sets the tone for a day of weight control and fewer calories overall. In fact, research shows that people who start their day with breakfast make healthier choices and have a lower body mass index in general. The breakfast effect is even stronger for women than men.
