Years ago Bill Cosby had a comedy routine about feeding his children chocolate cake for breakfast. It was a hilarious routine and remains one of my favorites. But this may not be so far-fetched. A recent study from Tel Aviv University (TAU) suggests that dessert foods included with breakfast could help people lose weight.
In this study, 193 obese adults were randomly assigned to one of two diets groups, each group eating the same amount of calories. One group ate a low-carb diet that included a 300 calorie breakfast, and the second group ate a diet with a 600 calorie, high-protein and carb breakfast that included a dessert.
By the end of the 32 week study, both groups had lost weight. The participants that had the higher calorie breakfast lost an average of 60 pounds more than the participants who ate the smaller breakfast. This study also monitored a hormone called ghrelin that rises before each meal and increases hunger. Ghrelin levels were lower in the group eating the high-protein and carb breakfast compared to the other group. A fat reducing review can help you establish a clear describe of what you require to focus on to achieve your fat burning objective if you're a starter; or serve as a reminder for the ones who are at an advanced or more advance stage of their weight-loss program. Applying are seven steps that can serve as suggestions for your special weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same. Many weight loss courses have tricked people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by causing a person's body to lose more muscle cells and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. The participants eating the breakfast that included a dessert item also reported feeling more satisfied and had fewer cravings during the day than their fellow participants.
The researchers concluded that a high-protein and carb breakfast may prevent weight gain and counteract the body's increased hunger and cravings when dieting. The best time to have calorie-laden sweet foods may be in the morning when our metabolism is most active.
Shall we join Bill Cosby and have chocolate cake for breakfast? Maybe. On the heels of the above findings, there is another study in the works at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). This study, led by Barbara Gower, Ph.D., in the Department of Nutrition Sciences, will also focus on the types of food consumed and the resulting affects on metabolism.
According to Dr. Gower, the body is primed to burn fat in the morning. She further states, however, that eating carbohydrates early in the day may shut off the body's fat-burning mechanism.
Previous research with mice has shown that eating carbohydrates after waking decreases fat-burning later in the day. In this animal study, the mice that ate carbohydrates after waking weighed more at the end of the study and had elevated blood lipid levels. Mice that were fed a high-fat breakfast and low-fat dinner, however, had normal metabolic readings.
Will a high-fat, high-protein breakfast that is low in refined carbohydrates be the better breakfast for efficient fat-burning during the day when compared to other choices? Time will tell. The experts will have to sort out the details.
Hopefully the studies will answer questions, such as:
- What constitutes a healthy, high-fat, high-protein breakfast?
- How many calories and what type of fat should be consumed for breakfast to bring about efficient fat burning?
- Can Americans slow down in the morning to actually eat a healthy, king-sized breakfast and then be satisfied with a smaller, pauper-sized dinner?
- What role will exercise play as a complement to this eating style?
I am not ready to eat chocolate cake for breakfast. But I do agree that breakfast is a meal not to be skipped and should contain enough healthy foods to prime the body for the day ahead. The best mix of those foods may yet be determined.
