Slim Down With Cereal!
Here's a smart and easy way to control your weight: Have a bowl of high-fiber cereal every morning! That's the advice from researchers at the Maryland Medical Research Institute who followed the growth and development of 2,400 teens over 10 years. The findings? Doing so cut the risk of being overweight by 13 percent! The cereal-and-milk combo taps into the feel-full power of fiber and adds the fat-burning power of calcium.
Unfortunately, the same researchers found that by age 19 more than 45 percent of women were cutting out breakfast altogether, which not only causes a metabolism slump but can lead to overeating later in the day.
Do yourself a favor and choose a whole-grain cereal with at least 3 to 4 grams of fiber per serving, little or no sugar, and plenty of vitamin content to start your day off right — all you've got to lose is the weight!
