Breakfast is an important meal of the day and a key place to start if you want to lose weight. Making the right decisions about the food you eat can set you on the path for success. Consequently you want to steer clear of any breakfast items that might get in the way of your weight loss goals.
The fruit juice is packed with sugar and, if shop-bought in a carton, low in nutrition.
The nutritional value is further deteriorated if it has been processed at higher temperatures.
This means consumers are being served a high dose of calories and sugar even before they’ve tucked into any breakfast foods.
So, as tempting as a glass of OJ may be, there are much better options out there.

DON’T MISS
“Choose a freshly squeezed juice, cold-pressed juice or high-pressure-pasteurised fruit and vegetable juice that contains more nutrients and less sugar,” registered dietitian Isabel Smith told Business Insider.
Look out for a juice that has two vegetables for every fruit included in the drink.
Or instead, replace fruit juice with water or unsweetened tea, there are plenty of tasty herbal teas available.
If you’re craving the sweet taste of fruit in a drink, though, try squeezing some citrus into sparkling water.
There are some breakfast foods that could also catch a dieter out if they’re not careful.
For instance, yoghurts may seem like a healthy option but if they’re pre-flavoured they will contain lots of added syrup and sugar.
Always opt for plain yoghurt as it will promote slower digestion and fruits and nuts can always be added if looking for something more substantial.
Low-fat yoghurt should be steered clear of as, while it may have fewer calories, it will have more sugar.
This gets turned into fat if not burned off and it often settles around consumers’ middles.
Low-fat products are also often pumped full of artificial preservatives, flavourings and colourings to mimic the full-fat versions.
Granola and breakfast bars should also be avoided.
They can be packed full of sugar and no good for weight loss goals,
“Most commercial granola bars are basically oatmeal cookies in disguise, with a lot more sugar than you need,” Dr Lisa Davis, Vice President of Scientific and Clinical Affairs at Medifast, told Shape.
