Oatmeal can help with weight loss because it contains soluble fibre, which can keep you full longer. Peanut butter has a low glycemic index. A 2009 study, published in the ‘American Journal of Clinical Nutrition’, found that having peanut butter twice a week was associated with less weight gain over an eight-year period. The fibre content of bananas may promote weight loss by increasing the feeling of fullness and reducing appetite.
