As well as putting the work in with getting active, your diet is a huge factor when it comes to weight loss, and there’s one breakfast that can help shed the pounds and keep you fuller for longer.
Hailed by the diet guru and Fast 800 diet founder, the low-calorie breakfast will help keep you satisfied and curb mid-morning snack cravings – ultimately aiding weight loss.

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the pepper has softened.

- Pour the mixture back into the frying pan and sprinkle over chilli flakes. Cook until the eggs begin to set, flipping once. Enjoy your healthy Mediterranean omelette.
The doctor suggests being smart with your calories to make the most of your meals. He pointed out on the Fast 800 website that one takeaway hash brown has 262 calories, while one large egg has about 78 and a head of broccoli is around 51 calories.
This means you can enjoy big meals that feel more satisfying for the same – or fewer – calories.
