Cake?! For Breakfast? It’s the New Way to Lose Weight

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 22, 2012 -
Tel Aviv – Eating chocolate cake with a nutritious breakfast can help you lose weight and keep it off, according to a new study from Tel Aviv University.

For this study, researchers separated 193 obese, non-diabetic participants into two groups. Male participants were allowed 1,600 calories per day while females were allowed 1,400. One of the groups was given a 300-calorie breakfast low in carbs, while the second group was given a 600-calorie breakfast that included a small chocolate cake slice.

At the 16-week mark, the two groups had both shed an average of 33 pounds per participant. However, in the next 16 weeks, the cake-deprived subjects gained about 22 pounds back each, while the cake-eaters lost an additional 15 pounds on average.

"The group that consumed a bigger breakfast, including dessert, experienced few if any cravings for these foods later in the day," said one of the researchers, professor Daniela Jakubowicz."The participants in the low-carbohydrate diet group had less satisfaction and felt that they were not full.”

The participants who ate a small breakfast were more likely to cheat on their diet and lost an average of 40 pounds less than subjects who indulged in daily cake.

“Diets that leave you feeling deprived are a recipe for failure, and this study shows it,” said Roger Parco, nutrition guru and owner of DietPlansToLose.com. “That’s the reason I steer people toward diets like Weight Watchers, which allows all foods in moderation. You could have a slice of chocolate cake, or any other food you crave, every morning while on Weight Watchers and still be compliant, as long as you stick to your daily points.”
