Research Findings: Protein dominant breakfasts help you lose weight
Posted on | April 26, 2010 | 4 Comments
In a recent study 21 men ate two different breakfasts on separate days. Day 1 consisted of a protein-dominant breakfast of scrambled eggs and white toast. Day 2 consisted of a carbohydrate-rich breakfast of a plain bagel, low-fat cream cheese and low-fat yoghurt.
Both breakfasts contained exactly the same number of kilojoules.

All men consumed roughly 450 fewer kilojoules (108 calories) at a buffet lunch, three hours later when buy pain pills online without prescription they ate the protein breakfast compared to when they had the bagel-based breakfast.
Further more, over the following 24 hours following the protein dominant breakfast, the volunteers ate approximately 1670 fewer kilojoules (400 calories). This was a reduction of 18% fewer calories consumed.

I personally have a 3 egg-white omelette with tomatoes or mushrooms every day! It does take a little bit of effort but I do notice the change in my appetite mid-morning. I feel I can make it through to lunch comfortably after eating my protein-dominant breakfast.

I tried out your 3 egg-white omelette this morning. It lasted me till noon. I still have to work on improving the taste of it though. I need to add more flavored toppings; I think. Good meeting you yesterday! Cheers, Doerte

I felt a bit the same way when I first tried it myself…. however I guarantee that by day 3 your tastebuds have changed! In the mean time try pepper, fresh herbs or a little fresh chilli to add more flavour.
