Following to the results of the research made in The University of California, San Diego, people, who consume chocolate several times a week have more chances to lose weight, than those, who eat it from time to time.
However, the scientists don’t assure that chocolate bars, included in daily ration, leads to the weight loss. They also don’t mention the amount of chocolate, needed for the achievement of effect.
They just suppose that antioxidants in chocolate assist to the lapse of blood pressure and the lessening of cholesterol, that leads to the weight loss.
During the research there were analysed the food habits of 1000 people at the age from 20 to 85 years, including those who eat chocolate almost daily.
It was found out that those people, who consumed chocolate twice a week, had the body mass index (BMI) 28, that is slightly overweight, but far from obesity. Those, who ate chocolate more often, demonstrated the redundance of calories in their ration, including animal fats and other not very healthy products.
But even in this case the chocolate lovers weighted less than those who didn’t consume it. The difference in weight between them was from 2.3 to 3.2 kg.

The less you sleep the fatter you become, following to the research of Mayo Clinic, USA. The research showed that the shortage of night rest leads to the increase of calories consuming and the obesity starts to threaten the organism.
The researchers attracted 17 healthy men and women to the research, lasting 8 nights. The half of volunteers slept as they usually do, the others were asked to sleep not more than two thirds of their usual time. Moreover, all the participants of the research ate as much as they wanted all this time.
“We checked if the shortage of sleeping influenses on the level of leptin and ghrelin hormones, which are traditionally associated with appetite, on the increase of meal consuming and the level of used energy through different kinds of activities.” – explained the goals of the research the professor of Mayo Clinic Virend Somers.
In a group, where the participants slept for 1 hour 20 minutes less than usually, the daily consumption of calories raised on 549. At the same time the level of physical activity remains the same in both groups. This means that the calories gained due to the shortage of sleeping are not burnt during physical activity.
According to the scientists report up to 28% of adults have a problem of insufficient amount of sleeping. They sleep at night only 6 and less hours. The shortage of sleeping, as the Americans proved, is one of the reasons for getting extra weight. Fortunately, this reason is simply eliminated. In the nearest time the scientists are going to make a wider research on people in their domestic conditions in order to confirm their conclusions.

All these points are important for slimming and keeping healthy weight. It’s too good to be true, but we have amazing news for sweets lovers – you can forget about the restrictions and eat a chocolate cake for breakfast.
Morning is the best time for consuming sweets due to the research of scientists from Tel Aviv University. During this time the metabolism is very fast and all exessive calories are burnt. Moreover, if you eat a piece of chocolate cake or several chocolate cookies, which contain enough proteins and carbohydrates, you may not have a thirst for sweets in the evening.
The research was made this way: the scientists invited 193 overweight people, not suffering from diabetis, and divided them into two groups. The first group was given low carbohydrate breakfast (300 calories), the second – balanced breakfast (600 calories) with chocolate cake or dessert. The research lasted for 32 weeks. After 16 weeks both groups of participants lost in average 15 kilos each. But after more 16 weeks those who kept low carbohydrate diet restored 10 kilos. However cake-lovers lost more 7 kilos. All in all after 32 weeks of research the participants from the second group lost in average 40 kilos more than the participants from the first group.
Both groups consumed daily the same amount of calories (men – 1600, women – 1400). However the participants of “300 calories for breakfast” group felt less satisfied after meal and, as it turned out, lied to scientists and ate cakes during the day. The conclusion is that the restriction in sweets can provoke a psycological dependence on them. So eat sweets, but only in the morning!

In order to prove this statement in practice 17 volunteers was conducted by the research. It lasted for five weeks. During the first seven days of “guinea” allowed to have everything that was on the buffet. The next two weeks half the group had dinner at “a la carte” dishes to choose one out of six, like soups in cans. For breakfast and dinner they eate what they wanted. The last two weeks this “test” was subjected to the second half of the participants of the experiment.
As a result, scientists were able to prove in practice that the decrease of calories in lunch don’t cause hunger and causes the body to seek compensation while eating other meals. Within 10 days, the subjects lost weight at an average of 500 grams. It is estimated that if the restrictions continue for a year, you can lose about 11 pounds!

The information that 40% of women who are on diets, by contrast, are gaining pounds overweight is already published. This is due to the constant feeling of hunger during the diet and an increase in caloric intake after its completion. Starving woman seduced and colleagues, abusing harmful food, and the weak will power. Some tools like weight watchers may help to control food calories.
