Eating chocolate cake at breakfast is good: here’s why

Have you ever dreamed of having a plentiful and tasty breakfast with a chocolate cake? You can finally transform your desires into reality. A recent study has shown that chocolate cake is not bad for your health: let's discover why.

Everybody had at least once dreamed of starting the day with a slice of chocolate cake. Although it is a real temptation, we often prefer to give up to preserve our figure, so as to arrive prepared for the “swimsuit test”. If until today we have always believed that the chocolate cake was a real “calorie bomb”, we should change our mind. For all the chocolate lovers, in fact, good news arrives.

According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine – National Institutes of Health, starting the day with a chocolate dessert is good for your health. The reason is quite simple: the cake contains the right amount of protein and carbohydrates to best recharge you at the beginning of the day. Since in that time the metabolism is more hectic, the calories taken are then easily digested after a while . The best would be to eat a dark chocolate dessert, so as not to feel guilty and to indulge in a "healthy" sin of gluttony. On the contrary, if you take light foods such as cereals and biscuits for breakfast, you will find yourselves struggling with hunger pangs after a few hours, when the metabolism is slowed down by now.

Of course, in order not to find yourself with a few extra pounds after a few weeks, you must associate this "abundant" breakfast with lighter and more dietary meals. All those who want to go on a diet but do not want to give up the pleasures of the table have found the perfect solution. Starting the day with a slice of chocolate cake, you will certainly feel happier and energetic.
