If you’re trying to lose weight – have some dessert for breakfast!

How about some cake and ice cream for breakfast? 

There’s some new research out there that says dessert for breakfast can actually help us lose weight. The study consisted of two groups of overweight and obese men and women. One group had some bacon, eggs and coffee for breakfast – while the other group enjoyed a high-protein, high-carb breakfast with dessert! That group not only lost an average of 15 MORE pounds than the small breakfast group – they also kept the weight off for longer.

The “diet” desserts for breakfast included chocolate cookies, cake, ice cream, mousse or doughnuts. The author of the study explains, when we eat high-carb sweets before 9 am, hunger and cravings are more effectively curbed for the rest of the day.
