You Should Eat Dessert for Breakfast

I know this is a shocker so I'll get right down to business - In a recent study, scientists put 144 obese people on a low-carbohydrate and low-calorie diet. Women were allotted 1,400 calories each day and men 1,600, with both group one and group two on identical diets. Save for the one very important factor; one of the diets included a high-protein and high-carb breakfast that included either cookies, chocolate, cake or ice cream as a "breakfast dessert".

Throughout the first 16-week period, weight loss was similar across the board averaging to about 32 pounds within both groups. However, at the 16-week follow up the group that had been eating dessert for breakfast had lost an extra 13 pounds, while the no-dessert group gained back all but 3.5 of their originally-shed 32.

This can mean one of two things, and I'm going to go with the latter.

1. Eating dessert for breakfast is the weight-loss secret we've all been waiting for.

2. The group that ate dessert for breakfast satiated their sugar and junk craving early in the morning, ergo were less likely to indulge in unhealthy cravings throughout the day.


But if you decide you like the first one, you've just been handed a fool-proof excuse to eat cheesecake before noon.
