So I’m not normally a breakfast person but I started eating breakfast when I was also trying to lose weight, and I lost around 20lbs so this is what I did:
I always make sure the first thing I do in the morning is drink water, I used to immediately go for coffee so I wasn’t grouchy but it can spike your cortisol levels on an empty stomach and lead to bloating and extra weight in in your stomach from the hormones.
So water first, and then always always always a protein filled breakfast. Whether it‘s a yogurt parfait, eggs, cottage cheese and fruit, etc. Protein helps you feel fuller but upping the amount of protein you eat per day will also help you lose weight. My faves: cottage cheese with peaches or pineapple on top, omelettes with veggies, yogurt with berries, shakshuka, panagyurishte style eggs (it’s like the Bulgarian take on Turkish eggs). I also ate a lot of those zero sugar yogurt cups like the light + fit zero sugar ones, some flavors are actually really good.
