As a recipe for losing weight, tucking into a slice of chocolate cake at breakfast would seem an unlikely fantasy.
每天早餐进食一大块巧克力蛋糕，还把这当成减肥的方法。你说，这有可能吗？
But a full breakfast that includes a sweet treat really can contribute to weight loss success, researchers claim.
然而，有研究者表示，一份包括甜点的完整早餐真的能减肥。
A team from Tel Aviv University found that eating pudding as part of a balanced 600-calorie breakfast that also includes proteins and carbohydrates, can help dieters to lose more weight - and keep it off in the long run.
特拉维夫大学的一个研究小组发现，将600卡路里均衡早餐（包括蛋白质和碳水化合物）中加入布丁时，减肥者能减去更多的体重，并将长期坚持下去。
The key is to indulge in the morning, when the body's metabolism is at its most active and we are better able to work off the extra calories throughout the day, according to Professor Daniela Jakubowicz and her team.
根据丹妮拉·札库伯维兹博士和她的小组研究，关键在于，早上放开吃吧——早晨身体的新陈代谢活跃度最高，这时候我们能更好地消耗掉一天中多余的卡路里。
Attempting to avoid sweets entirely can create a psychological addiction to these same foods in the long-term, she said. So adding dessert items to breakfast can control cravings throughout the rest of the day.
札库伯维兹博士表示，当你尝试拒绝甜点，长久下去，你会对甜点产生心瘾。因此，在早餐中加入甜点，那一天中的其余时间里，你都不会对着甜品嘴馋。
Over the course of a 32 week-long study, detailed in the journal Steroids, participants who added dessert to their breakfast - cookies, cake, or chocolate - lost an average of 40lbs more than a group that avoided such foods. What's more, they kept off the pounds longer.
《类固醇日报》的文章写道，在这个32周的研究中，在早餐中进食甜点（曲奇、蛋糕和巧克力）的实验者，比没有进食甜点的实验者平均多减去了40磅的体重。另外，前者的体重在长时间内一直处于保持状态。
A meal in the morning provides energy for the day's tasks, aids in brain functioning, and kick-starts the body's metabolism, making it crucial for weight loss and maintenance.
早餐能为人体提供能量，利于大脑运转，同时启动人体的新陈代谢机能，在减肥和维持身体机能方面有着重要意义。
And breakfast is the meal that most successfully regulates ghrelin, the hormone that increases hunger, explains Professor Jakubowicz.
札库伯维兹博士解释，早餐能有效调节增加饥饿感的胃饥饿激素。
While the level of ghrelin rises before every meal, it is suppressed most effectively at breakfast time.
胃饥饿素在进餐前会有所提高，但在早餐时间能有效抑制。
One hundred and ninety three clinically obese, non-diabetic adults were randomly assigned to one of two diet groups with identical caloric intake - the men consumed 1600 calories per day and the women 1400.
患有临床肥胖症的193名非糖尿病成年患者随机分配到两个摄入相同热量的饮食组——男性每天摄入1600卡路里，女性每天摄入1400卡路里。
