I have always been big on breakfast. If I skip it I get very cranky and we don’t want that! I like just about all breakfast foods - pancakes, biscuits, french toast, bagels with cream cheese. But these foods are not so great for losing weight!

Luckily over the past few years I’ve really come to love healthy breakfast foods too. When I did the South Beach Diet two years ago I got into a habit of 2 scrambled eggs topped with cheese, 6 oz. Picante V-8 juice. Sometimes some ham or bacon to go along with it. (Though I’m trying to stay away from pork these days.) I like this combination because it is both tasty and filling; I won’t get hungry again for several hours. The V-8 juice is very low in calories and has many vitamins.

Cereal is also one of my breakfasts of choice and I’ve tried a variety of cereals. My favorites are Kellogs’ Frosted Mini Wheats Maple & Brown Sugar, Special K Fruit & Yogurt, Kashi Crunch and Raisin Nut Bran. The mini wheats and kashi are the highest in fiber which is best for filling you up. They are also sweeter than the other varieties of Kashi and shredded wheats.
