Have Spaghetti for Breakfast

The good news is you don’t have to swear off all carbs (like pasta) to lose those love handles, but you may want to switch the time of day that you eat them. “As a general rule of thumb, eat carb-heavy meals early in the day so they get burned off rather than stored as belly fat,” says Dr. Oz.
