A doctor has issued advice on which breakfast foods can help you to maintain a healthy weight after finding that swapping out a common dish for a less sugary option led to significant changes in his health.
Appearing on diet expert Michael Mosley's BBC podcast Just One Thing, doctor and epidemiologist Professor Tim Spector advised listeners to switch up their breakfast foods after making a surprising discovery about his own "healthy" breakfast choice. The expert explained that not only did his favourite breakfast lead to a spike in his blood sugar levels, but also led to him gaining an extra kilogram in weight each year.
Tim typically opted for the common combination of toast and a cup of tea in the mornings - but after a glucose monitor revealed a "worrying sign", the doctor decided to change his eating habits and consequently saw an "instant" improvement. He explained that instead opting for yoghurt, nuts and berries and switching his coffee for tea made a "radical difference" to his health, the Daily Record reports.
