True, with some reservation, nutritionists make a reservation: sweets should be eaten only in the morning.. It is during the morning hours that the metabolism is most active, and the body receives the calories processed by it throughout the day, writes The Telegraph..

“If you add some more sweets to the breakfast, which contains carbohydrates and proteins, then you will not have the desire to have a dessert in the future,” says Professor Daniela Yakubovich, an employee of the Tel Aviv University. The researcher, together with colleagues, tested this theory on 193 volunteers who were diagnosed with obesity..

Volunteers were divided into two groups. One group had a 300-calorie low-carb breakfast and the other had a 600-calorie breakfast, but the breakfast menu included chocolate cake.. This diet was followed for 32 weeks. Both groups lost about 15 kg per person by the middle of the above period.

But then the first group gained 11 kg each, and the second, on the contrary, dropped another 7.5 kg each.. As a result, at the end of the experiment in the 2nd group, people on average lost 20 kg more.

Although both groups generally consumed the same amount of calories per day, the low-carbohydrate diet did not provide a feeling of satiety and satisfaction..

During the day, people wanted to eat sweets, and sometimes they were forced to deviate from the rules by arranging snacks on harmful foods.. This is the direct road to addiction, emphasizes Yakubovich.. It is breakfast, in turn, that allows you to suppress the hunger hormone - ghrelin to a greater extent..
