Starting your day with a weight loss friendly food is a good way to stay on track of your diet, especially if you are trying to lose some weight. Specifically, some breakfast staples might be impeding your weight loss by slowing down your metabolism first thing in the morning.
With that in mind, keep reading for the one food you should never eat in the morning if you are trying to lose weight!
White Toast
White bread, which is full of refined carbs and empty calories, is one food you should probably avoid for weight loss.
According to Healthline, "Bread is high in calories and carbs but low in protein, fat, fiber and many vitamins and minerals."
The amount of carbs in bread can contribute to overeating. Plus, it can lead to more serious health problems.
Healthline continues, "Bread’s high carb content can increase blood sugar and hunger while possibly promoting a higher body weight and an increased risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome."
Plus, it's rare that you are eating plain toast. Popular toast spreads can add more calories, sugar, and fat.
Butter, jelly, and hazelnut spread can all contribute to weight gain, especially when paired with white bread. Limiting these toppings is a good idea to stop weight gain.
With that in mind, sticking to healthier types of bread--like whole grain and Ezekiel bread--when you make toast is a more weight loss friendly option.
