Too good to be true? New research says having dessert with the traditional fry-up burns off pounds.It also says morning is the best time to eat sweets because that's when the body's metabolism is most active - and we have the rest of the day to work off calories.Eating cookies or chocolate as part of breakfast that includes proteins and carbs also helps to stem the craving for sweets later.Researchers split 193 clinically obese, non-diabetic adults into two groups, one on a low-carb diet that included a 300-calorie breakfast and one on a balanced 2510kJ meal that included chocolate cake.Halfway through the 32-week study both groups had lost an average of 15kg per person.
