1. Focus on the long term
“There’s no magic food or strategy that can make your stomach look flat right away,” says Stacey Krawczyk, a dietitian for the Grain Foods Foundation and President of Food Well Strategies.

“However, eating in the morning does help with long-term weight management because it sets the rhythm for the day. If there’s a trick to weight loss, it’s creating a targeted meal plan,” she says.

“Good habits help create future good habits, so eating a balanced breakfast with fiber-rich whole grains (including foods made with whole grains and fortified grains), lean protein, and some fruit or vegetables can help. You stay full to avoid the ‘morning slump’ and help keep you on track,” says Krawczyk.
