1. Overnight Oats
The best part about this first extremely tasty breakfast for rapid weight loss is that you prep it in advance. This way, even the busiest of mornings won’t stand in the way of your progress!
“Packed with protein, thanks to Greek yogurt and skim milk, this prep-in-advance breakfast only requires you to simply combine the ingredients in a bowl or jar and let the delicious meal creation happen as you sleep,” The Nutrition Twins explain.
Research shows that protein is essential for weight loss, as it helps you avoid overeating and makes it more seamless to shed unwanted weight. Getting your fill of protein can also help speed up your metabolism and torch a greater amount of fat—including stubborn abdominal fat. “Greek yogurt provides good-for-your-gut probiotics, to promote a healthy gut microbiome which is associated with less body fat,” The Nutrition Twins add.

- 1 orange, peeled and sectioned
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground flax
- ¼ cup nonfat milk
2. Avocado Toast with Scrambled Eggs
“This healthy breakfast is ultra-satisfying, thanks to the winning combination of protein, fiber, and healthy fat, all of which help to keep energy and blood sugar levels stable and prevent energy crashes that trigger sugar cravings,” The Nutrition Twins tell us.
The twins’ favorite eggs to use for avocado toast are Eggland’s Best, due to the nutritional value and the fact that they only pack 60 calories per egg. “Compared to ordinary eggs, [Eggland’s Best] has more than double the omega-3’s to fight the inflammation that makes weight loss more difficult. Plus, they contain six times more vitamin D compared to ordinary eggs, and research shows that people with lower levels of vitamin D are more likely to be obese.” One study revealed that individuals who ate eggs with toast for breakfast were less hungry and did not consume as many calories during their next meal when compared to people who had cereal with milk and juice.
“All it takes is two tablespoons of avocado to keep the calories in check—and you’ll still get the creaminess and the good-for-you monounsaturated fat,” The Nutrition Twins say.
