Oatmeal contains complex carbohydrates and fiber. They are digested more slowly than breakfasts containing a lot of sugar and therefore ensure a more consistent supply of energy.
This can help:
- Reduce energy lows in the morning - Prevent cravings - to stay full longer - to start the day calmer
Especially in the transition phase after quitting smoking, a filling breakfast can reduce unnecessary cravings.
This is how you make it easy for yourself
It's best to prepare oatmeal in the evening as overnight oats. So breakfast is ready immediately in the morning when time pressure and tiredness activate old habits.
The more readily available breakfast is, the easier it is to make a better decision.
