Power Breakfast Food List

June 27, 2009
By J White

Arguably the most important meal of any weight loss program is breakfast. The main benefit of a good breakfast is that it gets your digestive system back to work, which also brings your body out of its semi-fasting state.

Moreover, when you wake up in the mourning, all things considered, your insulin level should be low, which coincides with no food being in your stomach. Because you are coming out of this semi-fasting state, there is a risk of spiking your blood sugar or glucose levels, which of course leads to more fat on your hips.

To counter this, you need to not only eat a breakfast, but you need to eat some powerful breakfast food items that will not send your glucose levels into orbit. With this in mind, the following are some food items that can you help accomplish this. For added variety, these items can of course be mixed and matched.

Power Breakfast Food List

Oatmeal

This low calorie and fiber rich food, which helps to control glucose, is the ideal breakfast item. This is even more so he case with steel cut oats. The only drawback with them is that they take longer to cook.

Egg Whites

In terms of convenience, egg whites rank right up there with the microwave oven. In terms of nutritional value, you can’t beat its zero fat and zero cholesterol value, which makes it an excellent source of protein, which is another component that helps to control glucose.

Omelet

Omelets are another great breakfast food if prepared with some slight adjustments. Instead of whole eggs, use just the egg whites. And as an alternate to regular cheese, use low-fat or non-fat cheese instead. Of course feel free to add a liberal amount of vegetables.

Grapefruit Juice

Studies have show that grapefruit juice contains properties that may block enzymes involved in fat and carbohydrate storage, and it may also speed up the way our bodies burn fat.

Whole Wheat Bread

Besides being low in calories, whole wheat bread is a great source of fiber. Two slices along with some egg whites makes for an unbeatable breakfast.

Boiled Eggs

Boiled eggs are just another take on how to prepare your eggs. It’s best to discard the yolk. However, it is all right to occasionally eat one since it is a good source of cholesterol-lowering omega 3.

Blueberries

Blueberries are not only tasty, research has shown that they possess an exceptional antioxidant capacity. With 2 grams of fiber per half cup, eat them raw or use them to add flavor to your oatmeal.
