PIZZA FOR BREAKFAST WHT IT'S SO HEALTHY

Pizza? For breakfast? Why yes...the truth is that you can crack open last night's leftovers in the a.m. if you want to... and why you should!!

I know lots of women who skip breakfast, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don't have time, others think they're "saving" calories by eliminating a meal, still others just don't like breakfast food.

But the bottom line is, eating in the morning is crucial when you're trying to trim down. Eating just about anything in the range of 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all. And even pizza can be healthy if it's thin-crust, loaded with veggies, and you stick to one slice.


Research shows that eating breakfast revs up your metabolism, keeps you from overeating later in the day and may even help sleekify your abs. Researchers at the University of Southern California at Los Angeles found that breakfast skippers have bigger tummies than those who regularly have a morning meal.

So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of pals who end up forgoing it altogether to have just coffee or cola. I say, try heating up last night's leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it!

Bonus: 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 yourself some prebedtime calories. And watch your body reap the fat-burning benefits.
