Thread: Study recommends eating chocolate cake for breakfast to lose weight

-The chocolate cake is considered a sinful food, bad especially for diabetics and people with weight problems. But a new study recommends eating the delicious and mouth-watering dessert for breakfast to help lose weight.

The research, led by Professor Daniela Jakubowicz of Tel Aviv University, gives two reasons why the to-die-for-dessert chocolate cake should be eaten during breakfast, reports The Telegraph. First, because the body's metabolism is most active in the morning, breakfast is the best time to eat sweets since the body has the rest of the day to burn it. Second, eating chocolate, along with proteins and carbs, helps stem the sweet tooth craving for sugary food.

For the study, the researchers recruited 193 non-diabetic, obese adults who were divided into two groups. One group was given a low-carb diet made up of a 300-calories breakfast, and the other group was given a balanced 600-calorie breakfast with a chocolate cake dessert.

At week 16, halfway through the 32-week study, the average weight loss of both groups was 33 pounds per member. However, at the end of 32 weeks, Group 1 members regained an average of 22 pounds, while Group 2 members, who had chocolate cake daily, lost an average of 15 pounds, or a total of about 40 pounds.

Jakubowicz explains that despite both groups consuming the same daily total calories of 1,600 for men and 1,400 for women, members of Group 1 had less satisfaction and felt they were not full. Because their cravings for carbs and sugars became more intense, they cheated on their diet plan, causing them to regain lost weight...

Well you could eat chocolate cake every meal and still lose weight. The problem is the sugar is bad for you.

Jakubowicz explains that despite both groups consuming the same daily total calories of 1,600 for men and 1,400 for women, members of Group 1 had less satisfaction and felt they were not full.

One, they gave group 1 300 less calories, and two, obviously not enough fat in what they did eat or they would have been satisfied. And being low carb, the extra fat doesn't hurt them. especially if they had 300 more calories of it so they had 600 calories too.

Yeah, back when I was just a little compact truck... I did a study about this too and this is what I came up with, cake for breakfast!

Check with your manufacturer, trucks don't use cake as fuel. Changing your oil was a better idea. Maybe you should just go electrical, it's time to give that some consideration. Continuing to run on fossil fuels will put you in the ancient vehicles department in the internet museum soon enough. Some people out there may even argue that it's a simple matter of placing an explanation sign on your hood.

But truck drivers eat the cake.
