Your Hungry Heart

Research has already shown that skipping breakfast is a sure way to binge at dinner. Now a study from the United Kingdom has revealed another danger: Missing out on your morning meal may raise your LDL (Bad)-Cholesterol levels. Men and women who skipped breakfast for two weeks experienced an increase of almost 2 points in their LDL, compared with no change in those who always ate in the morning. When people blow off breakfast and then overeat later in the day, their bodies can't process the sudden flood of fat. Stack the odds in your favor: Before you hit the door, grab a Baker's Breakfast Cookie (bakersbreakfastcookie.com). These high-fiber snacks taste delicious and are loaded with LDL-lowering oats.
