High Fibre Cereals

Cereals are very beneficial for increasing metabolism and according to a study published in journal of the American Dietetic Association; it has been proved that people who eat high fibre cereals are 30% less overweight than those who are reluctant to eat it. One of the primary reasons behind it is that cereals are digested slowly and help to prevent fat storage.

Lean Proteins
