I know what you’rethinking : pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’sleftovers in the a. m. if you want to.

 Iknow lots of women who skip breakfast , and they have a ton of differentexcuses for doing it . Some say they don’t have time. others think they’re“saving” calories, still others just don’t like breakfast food . 

But thebottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re tryingto lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would bebetter than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking , R , D , who developedthe super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza canbe healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one smallpiece. 

Breakfastis one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss successstories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating laterin the day. Researchers at the University of Southem California found thatbreakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those whoregularly have a morning meal. 

So eatsomething in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up havingno breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, tryheating 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 it tomorrow,” I put awaythe leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourselfsome pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burningeffects.
