Eating chocolate in the morning'could help burn body fat'
The experiment was conducted with 19 participants. Participants spent a week investigating their weight, diet, and juice, and then ate 100 g of milk chocolate, including 18.1 g of cocoa and 58.4 g of fat, within an hour of waking up or before going to bed. I randomly repeated eating within an hour or not eating chocolate for two weeks.
According to two weeks' worth of data obtained from participants by indirect calorimetry, fat is burned more when chocolate is eaten after waking up than when chocolate is not eaten, and the blood glucose level on an empty stomach is reduced. It turned out to be suppressed. It was also found that eating chocolate before bedtime changed the intestinal flora and satisfied the feeling of hunger.
Although there was no change in the weight of the participants throughout the experiment, Teresa et al. Considered that 'calculated from the calories of chocolate ingested, it should have increased by about 900 g.' A re-examination of energy intake and consumption showed a decrease in appetite, probably due to the ingredients in chocolate, and eating chocolate reduced the extra calories from non-meal sweets by 16%. It turned out that it was.
Teresa and colleagues found that when chocolate is consumed, how it affects energy intake and metabolism can change. Participants in this experiment were limited to postmenopausal women who were particularly susceptible to weight gain and loss from milk chocolate, so Teresa and colleagues said, 'We need to do the same for men and young women. '.
