Having a flatter stomach involves making smart choices, especially when it comes to breakfast. Here’s a quick rundown of four breakfast options that can set the right tone for your day:
- Oatmeal or Seeded Porridge
- Eggs
- Protein shakes
- Plain Greek yogurt
Let’s add one more: Avocado toast. A slice of multi-grain or sour-dough toast with (s)mashed avocado, olive oil, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of red chilli flakes for a flavour boost. Want to add more protein? Top it with smoked salmon and/or a soft/hard-boiled egg.
Now, let’s talk about what to steer clear of when it comes to breakfast.
- Sugary cereals
- Instant oats (often packed with sugar)
- Starchy carbs (like white bread toast)
- Fatty meats (bacon and sausage, which can be high in sodium and preservatives)
If the holiday indulgences derailed your nutrition, a well-chosen breakfast can set a positive tone. It not only minimises cravings but also paves the way for successful choices throughout the day.
