Eating chocolate cake as part of a full breakfast can help you lose weight, say scientists.

Best....news....... ever!!!!!!!!

Researchers split 193 clinically obese, non-diabetic adults into two groups who consumed either a low-carb diet that included a 300-calorie breakfast or a balanced 600-calorie breakfast that included a chocolate cake dessert.
Halfway through the 32-week study both groups had lost an average of 33 lbs per person. But in the second half of the study the low-carb group regained an average of 22 lbs per person - while the dessert gorgers lost another 15 lbs each.

At the end those who had consumed a 600 calorie breakfast had lost an average of 40 lbs more per person than their peers.
Although both groups consumed the same daily total calories - the men 1600 calories per day and the women 1400 - "the participants in the low-carbohydrate diet group had less satisfaction and felt that they were not full," said Professor Daniela Jakubowicz.

2. Let me know if they keep it off for five years.

They most likely won't.

11. Very few dieters do

Even one Weight Watchers executive let it slip that they count on the fact most people don't keep the weight off. That's how they make money.

4. There's eggs in chocolate cake

All joking aside though, we eat donuts, sugary pastries, cinnamon rolls and sweet cereals as breakfast foods all the time.

Pancakes and waffles, anyone? Cake is hardly worse.

8. Lol! I ate cake and cheese curls for breakfast.

And washed it down with Coke.

I felt like crap and since it was grocery day I bought only healthy stuff today.

I go back and forth--eat junk--feel lousy--get healthy---get tempted with junk--slip a little--go back to junk--start all over again.
