Tel Aviv University researchers have discovered that eating pudding as part of a your balanced 600 calorie breakfast which includes proteins and carbohydrates, can enabled those on diets to lose weight more effectively and maintain the weight loss.
The lead researcher states that it is best to indulge in the morning, when our bodies’ metabolism is most active.
We are then better able to work off those extra calories throughout the rest of the day.
It is not necessary to avoid sweets totally as this can create a psychological addiction to sweet foods in the long-run.
Therefore, adding dessert items to your breakfast can control your cravings throughout the rest of the day.
The research participants who added dessert to their breakfast lost an average of 40lbs more than a group which avoided such foods. Moreover, they kept the weight off.
A morning meal provides energy for our daily tasks, it also aids brain functioning, and it gives our metabolism a kick start.
At the end of the 32 weeks, those who had consumed a 600-calorie breakfast had lost an average of 40lbs more per person than their counterparts.
