New research shows that the fat-fighting benefits don’t end there.

A study in the Journal of Nutrition found that a high-fibre, low-GI breakfast may actually enhance fat burning during subsequent bouts of exercise.

Participants in the study undertook a 60 minute workout three hours after breakfast, and the subjects who had eaten a high-fibre, low-GI breakfast burned double the amount of fat compared with those who had eaten a low-fibre, high-GI breakfast.
