Researchers at Louisiana State University in the US have found that people who ate two eggs each day for breakfast lost up to two-thirds more weight than those people who ate a bagel instead.
The egg eaters ate 400 less calories a day than the bagel eaters and as such the egg eaters lost twice as much from their waistline then the bagel eaters.
A Harvard University study found that people who didn't eat breakfast at all are 4 times more likely than breakfast eaters to become obese. The American Journal of Epidemiology reported that men who didn't eat breakfast gained 1.5kg over 4 years while those men who ate between 22 - 55 percent of their total calories at breakfast only gained 0.7kg in the same 4 week period.
