I know what you’re thinking : pizza（比萨饼）? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can havelast night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to I know lots of women whoskip breakfast（不吃早餐）, and they have a ton of different excusesfor doing it . Some say they don’t have time. others think they ’re “saving”calories（卡路里）, still others just don’t like breakfastfood.

But the bottom line is that eating in the morning isvery important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anythingfrom 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says KatherineBrooking , R , D , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s“SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables,and you stick to one small piece.

Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goesfor most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfastkeeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University ofSouthem California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance ofgaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.

So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plentyof friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee ororange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy,but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat ittomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Tryit…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gainthe fat-burning effects.
