The healthy breakfast choices are, whole grain, toast fruits, cereal, orange juice or a glass of skim milk and water.

Eat Lots of Fiber

Fiber should be included in your diet because it helps you to reach your fat loss goal faster. It can be got from eating brown rice, whole wheat bread, vegetables and cereal. The following are the other foods that contain fiber:
