I know what you’ re thinking：pizza (比萨饼) For breakfast But the truth is that you can have last night’ s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早餐), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’ t have time. others think they’ re "saving" calories (卡路里), still others just don’ t like breakfast food.
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you ’ re trying to lose weight. "Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all," says Katherine Brooking, 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 goes for most weight loss success stories. Re- search shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no
breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange 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 it tomorrow," I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it you may save your- self some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
