Starting your day with a healthy breakfast is crucial for establishing healthy eating habits and achieving sustainable weight loss. However, many breakfast foods are marketed as “healthy” options even when they are full of calories, fat, and sugar–which can be a major setback for your diet and metabolism.
With that in mind, keep reading for the one food you should never have before 10 AM because it slowly destroys your metabolism!
Muffins
Because they're super convenient, muffins are a popular on-the-go breakfast. Unfortunately, they are a dangerous breakfast food for anyone hoping to lose weight.
According to Food Network, "Muffins have a bad reputation of being very high in calories, fat and sugar."
Plus, according to the article, "many store bought muffins carry a hefty amount of calories--typically around 400 or more each."
Because many muffins are made from refined flour and sugar, many of these calories are empty and lacking nutritional value.
If you start your day with empty calories, it's likely that you'll be hungry again soon--and eager to go back for more. With that in mind, it might lead to overeating. If you are trying to establish healthy eating habits, this can make that really difficult.
With that in mind, if you need a convenient breakfast food and want to lose weight, steering clear of store bought muffins is a good idea. Instead, try out a healthy at-home recipe!
