Mehmet Oz on fiber-rich breakfast: recommends

Dr. Mehmet Oz recommends eating a fiber-rich breakfast, describing his own as steel-cut oatmeal with raisins, walnuts, and flaxseed oil. Oz wrote that a fiber-rich morning curbs late-afternoon hunger and that breakfast eaters tend to be thinner, warning against “rushing out the door” without eating.

Oz’s stated reasoning is that fiber “slows everything way down” in the digestive system, so front-loading fiber at breakfast prevents late-day sugar binges. He recommends roughly 30 grams of fiber per day, with the morning load — oatmeal, whole grains, fruit — doing the most to keep afternoon hunger in check. (As with all his health advice, this is Oz’s stated position, not medical advice.)
