This breakfast ingredient is a great ally for weight loss!

For breakfast, do you often opt for buttered toast? Bad idea. If you really want to take care of your figure, a specific ingredient must be favored.

Muesli, a slimming ally?

When chosen carefully, a breakfast staple can help optimize weight loss. This is the famous muesli. When integrated into a healthy and balanced diet, this mixture of oatmeal, seeds and dried fruits allows you to shed a few extra pounds while enjoying yourself.

But be careful, not all mueslis are created equal. Some are real sugar bombs and hide harmful ingredients like poor quality oils (palm oil or hydrogenated coconut oil) or controversial additives (artificial colors or flavors).

Conversely, others are healthy, for the figure and health, and have very little fat. The main thing is therefore to choose it carefully, to benefit from all its benefits.

Muesli: which one to choose?

For muesli to become a special “weight loss” ally, a few recommendations are necessary. This must in fact be:

• Unsweetened (or containing only natural sugars from dried fruits);
• Rich in proteins: because proteins (soy flakes, etc.) provide lasting satiation and limit cravings;
• Rich in fiber: The oat flakes in muesli represent an excellent source of fiber, which promotes the feeling of satiety and helps stabilize blood sugar levels;
• Low in bad fats and rich in good fats: prefer mueslis made from seeds (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, etc.) which are sources of good fats. However, be careful not to overdo it because they remain high in calories;
• Without additives: many industrial mueslis contain preservatives, colorings or artificial flavors. So opt for the most natural mixtures possible;
• Organic: by choosing “organic”, you will naturally limit your consumption of preservatives.

For her part, Alexandra Murcier recommends favoring mueslis made from oilseeds: almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, cashews, Brazilian nuts, pecans, etc.
