Is all the hype about eating breakfast really true? The answer is yes, but specifically a Low-Glycemic breakfast (Low-Glycemic meaning it has a minimal effect on blood sugar levels and has a glycemic index of 55 or less). An article posted in Medpage Today explained the results of a study conducted showing how a low-glycemic index breakfast enhanced the fat burning effects of moderate exercise in sedentary women. It showed that fat oxidation increased significantly during a 60-minute walk when the women consumed low glycemic-index carbohydrates for breakfast.
Some low-glycemic breakfast ideas would be:
museli, apple juice, an apple, canned peaches, skim milk and yogurt (breakfast used in study)
egg white omelet with spinach, mushrooms, and feta
All Bran cereal with a banana
Whole wheat - high fiber toast with peanut butter and blueberries with skim milk
