    Weird... I'm not sure I believe it, but it makes for a good headline. Heck, who doesn't want to eat chocolate cake for breakfast?

    Without reading the article, my only opinion is that I like to believe in eating most of your calories in the morning, and fewer in the evening. Technically chocolate cake would help make this happen, but probably not the best decision (albeit the most delicious!)

    It reminds me of Bill Cosby.

    What's wrong with chocolate cake for breakfast? There's Eggs and Milk it in, the basis of a good breakfast.

    Bars like Fiber Plus are like eating cake with the high sugar.

    Haha.. I caught the end of Dr. Oz the other day and they were saying the same thing.

    So, that being said, I don't believe it.

    That's exactly where my mind went too!

    *slow clap*

    The premise since I'm sure some are thinking "tl;dr" is that it helps curb cravings. In the group of participants who didnt eat the cake with their breakfeast, they most often cheated on their diets and gained 40 lbs halfway through the study. The participants who DID eat cake lost an additional 15.

    Maybe the cake is a lie.
    *ha!*

    Idk about chocolate cake for breakfast but I have chocolate oatmeal every day when I get up and if I'm having a bad day even a small portion for an afternoon snack and its really helped calm junk food binging for me

    I did eat a huge piece of chocolate cake for breakfast once. I felt sick all day and didn't eat anything else. So yeah, it worked...

    If you are going to eat chocolate cake anyways (and it fits in your calorie allotment) it doesn't matter when you eat it.

    I would reserve judgement until I had the opportunity to read the actual study.

    Here is a link:

    However, I am not shelling out 40 bucks for the priviledge.

    Id rather not test it out... ill just have to wonder about it.. Sounds too good to be true...

    One thing is for sure that for all the sweet tooth people out there i have read in several different health magazines that it is better for us to have a serving of ice cream or a cookie early on in the day than at night ... that will help us with self control during the day, and by eating it early in the day we can burn those calories rather than eating it a lil before we go to sleep. Just FYI...

    I have a Kashi brownie with my yogurt just about every morning. I think it helps curb cravings. It would probably help me lose more if I ate a bigger breakfast with it, but I'm not a morning person, it's a miracle if I can get to work on time in the morning, I'm not waking up any earlier to fit in a real breakfast!

    There seems to always be a study that shows something bad for you is good!

    Yep! I had a cupcake for breakfast this morning. It was delicious. I am still going to hit my goals for the day easily.

    Eating cake is not "bad for you". Eating cake for breakfast is also not "bad for you".
