– If you want to lose weight, you should remove semolina and white rice from your diet, which have quite a lot of calories and practically no vitamins and minerals. All other cereals are acceptable in the diet of a person losing weight. Buckwheat, brown and brown rice, egg, millet are an excellent start to the day or a side dish for lunch; they are sources of B vitamins, magnesium and iron. One dose of crumbly or liquid porridge per day is enough, preferably in the first half of the day, about 200 g per serving in finished form.
