If you're looking to lose weight, look no further than eggs to start your day. Weight-loss guru Dr Michael Mosley revealed in the Daily Mirror that starting your day with eggs can be key to losing weight, with a mushroom omelette being one of his own "go-to breakfasts".
He wrote: "Boiled, poached, scrambled or as an omelette, they'll (eggs) keep you feeling fuller for longer compared to cereal or toast." He added that that eggs are high in protein, Vitamin B and selenium, assuring weight watchers that the food item also won't raise cholesterol.
Dr Mosley adds onions and mushrooms to his omelettes, with the former high in probiotics, which feed the good bacteria in our gut. Mushrooms are high in Vitamin D. Spinach, garlic, turmeric and chilli flakes can also be added for extra flavour.
However, meat at breakfast should be a treat and Dr Mosley warned that people watching their weight should be careful about which meats they eat. Bacon is a processed meat, which Dr Mosley advises should be eaten "sparingly" and "in small quantities".
Salmon is a decent substitute, he said, while fibrous greens, parmesan and a sprinkle of chilli can help make healthy breakfasts even better. Breakfast pastries should also be avoided. They are often high-carb, high-calorie and low protein, while breakfast cereals are "laden in sugar".
