The perfect way to start your day is with a satisfying breakfast. Oats are a better choice than typical American breakfast foods such as pancakes, bagels and cereals which are loaded with added sugars. Oats are a complex carbohydrate primarily made up of starches and fiber. Unlike simple carbs, the body digests them at a much slower rate. Getting most of your carbs from complex carbs will help you feel fuller, increase energy levels and reduce hunger cravings!
