Eat This for Breakfast to Experience Self-Love
By RealAge By: Dr. Oz
Seems like a pretty tall order. A breakfast choice that can make you
love yourself more? But a new study suggests it may be so.
The breakfast item in question? Cereal.
In a study, the women who had it for breakfast every morning experienced greater self-esteem than the women who started their days with a muffin -- even though both breakfasts had the same number of calories.
Feel-Good Flakes
Ultimately, researchers think that the kind of self-love the cereal eaters experienced may even boost the chances of weight loss success because feel-good vibes can help people stick with a weight loss plan. Choosing foods that you think are high in calories, on the other hand?

Mind over Food
In fact, the cereal eaters felt fuller, happier, and more relaxed,
according to food diaries the women kept to record how many calories
they thought they'd had and what they felt after eating it. Even though
both breakfasts had 400 calories, women who ate the cereal thought it
had fewer calories -- and they felt better about themselves because of
it. And a mood boost like that is good for self-esteem, researchers
note, because how people feel is closely linked to their perceptions of
their weight and body image.Feel-Good Flakes
