Looking for a low carb, no grain breakfast option then look no further and it’s rather yummy also. Quinoa is actually a seed that is a close relative of the spinach family making it perfect to help promote weight loss. Quinoa seeds are rich in eight essential amino acids and vitamins such as magnesium and calcium. Quinoa is also high in iron and vitamin B 12. Both iron and vitamin B 12 are essential for energy production and weight loss. If you are deficient in B vitamins, it can slow down your weight loss because your body won’t be able to synthesize nutrients as efficiently so I always recommend eating more foods containing B vitamins.
