🥣 If you’re fed up of using willpower to get through your days on a diet, your breakfast might be part of the problem.
Let’s compare the typical bowl of Cheerios with milk vs this chocolate PB chia pudding.
On paper, the cereal looks like a good low-calorie choice… but a realistic portion (not the puny amount suggested on the packet!!) will come in around 300 calories.
300 calories of mostly carbs, very little protein, and not much fibre. It will give you a little boost, but your blood sugar will quickly crash.
This chia pudding is different: You’ve got over 30g of protein, 15g of fibre and some healthy fats. Its honestly so filling I struggle to eat a whole portion!
And that protein/fibre combo slows digestion, keeps blood sugar steady, and actually keeps you full.
Which means fewer cravings mid-morning, less snacking… And way more chance of staying in a calorie deficit without white knuckling it.
