If you are on a weight loss program then BREAKFAST is one of your most essential morning diet that you can not afford to skip. A healthy & nutritious Breakfast not only energies your day but also helps in keeping your body  Healthy & Fit.

Breakfast is an essential meal of the day as a nutritious & low-calorie Breakfast helps you in losing weight.

Breakfast literally means breaking the fast. Since our body doesn’t consume anything after dinner till we wake up the next morning after a haul of about 7 to 8 hours, it needs the necessary fuel to get started. Therefore, your first meal of the day should be both wholesome and nutritious. With the above-listed options, you can ensure they are weight loss-friendly too!

Skipping Breakfast not only hampers your weight loss goals, but it might just result in piling on more weight. At the same time, it isn’t just enough to have your breakfast. The food you pick can affect the inches around your tummy too. Let me explain how.

Skipping  your breakfast  will result in slowing down your metabolism which is the highest in the morning. To sustain metabolism in the morning, you must have a mix of complex carbs and proteins. Eating only carbs will result in spike in sugar levels, which would ultimately be stored as fats. Hence replace your carbs with complex carbs, they are also loaded with fibers which keeps you full longer, preventing the unwanted binges. On the other hand, protein takes the longest to digest, which sustains your metabolism and aids in weight loss.”

1. Chila: Light on the stomach, and made with hardly any oil, chila is a pancake-like dish, and just like a dosa, it is made from gram flour or moong dal batter, which is mixed with onion, tomato and masalas.
