No bagels for breakfast!!

I read an interesting item in the current Better Homes and Gardens: "Bring on the bacon and eggs! A new study shows that eating a little fat first thing and keeping the fat and calories low in the evening might ward off metabolic syndrome--a cluster of symptoms, including abdominal fat, high triglyceride levels, and insulin resistance--that increases risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
You first meal seems to program metabolism for the rest of the day, says Molly Bray, PhD professor of epidemiology at the University of Alabama. A relatively fat rich breakfast helps you metabolize fats and carbohydrates during the day, while a carb rich breakfast seems to promote only carb metabolism, in addition eggs reduce hunger so you eat less at lunch and all day long. In a new University of Connecticut study breakfast egg eaters ate 112 fewer calories at an all you can eat buffet lunch three hours later than bagel-eating counterparts. They also consumed about 400 fewer calories in the 24 hours following breakfast than did their bagel buddies."

So there you have it. Wanna lose weight, fry an egg for breakfast!! I knew it all along. . . .
