(HealthNewsDigest.com) - In Dr. Daniela Jakubowicz’s BIG Breakfast study, women who began their day with a large, protein packed breakfast that included a moderate amount of sweets and starches lost dramatically more weight and kept it off over time than women who ate a very low-carb breakfast.

THE BIG BREAKFAST DIET: Eat Big Before 9 a.m. and Lose Big for Life (Workman, January 2010) by Dr. Jakubowicz brings this life-altering, scientifically proven diet, that has helped hundreds of thousands of South American women shed pound, banish cravings, gain energy, satisfy hunger, and in some cases alleviate migraines, to the U.S.

Eating a BIG, protein-rich breakfast before 9 a.m. works because you give your body the food it needs when it needs it and the food it craves when your hormones are triggered to metabolize it into energy. Alternatively, when you restrict carbohydrates and other foods you love, you only exacerbate cravings, leading to binge eating and unhealthy late-day snacking.

Here is THE BIG BREAKFAST DIET formula:

· A breakfast that includes 7 servings of protein (2 must be milk or yogurt based), 2 servings of carbohydrates, 2 servings of fat, and 1 Breakfast Sweet

· A lunch including 3 servings of protein, 3 servings of vegetables from group A (p. 66), 2 servings of vegetables from group B (p. 67), and 1 serving fruit from group A,B,C or D (p. 67-68).
· Dinner including 0–3 servings of protein, unlimited vegetables from group A, 2 servings from vegetable group B, 1 serving from fruit group A (p. 67), 1 serving from fruit group B (p. 68)

THE BIG BREAKFAST DIET controls appetite and satisfies cravings for sweets and starches because it does not restrict what can be eaten, allowing dieters to enjoy their guilty pleasures and indulge in their cravings.

Breakfast and weight loss have long been linked, but science finally proves—and South American beauties show—that we can eat all the foods we love as long as we do it before 9:00 a.m.
