Breakfast is considered as the most important meal of the day since it refuels the body after several hours of fasting while the person is asleep.

Apart from nourishing the body at the start of the day, eating breakfast can also help in weight loss. Eating Well reported that, according to research, people who regularly eat breakfast tend to have leaner bodies. Those who go on a diet but make sure they don't miss out on breakfast are also more successful in losing weight.

It appears that one secret to losing weight is to have breakfast, provided that the person eats the right kind of breakfast foods. Here are seven foods you can eat in the morning that will help shed off those extra pounds.
