If you’ve tried Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, Atkins or the South
Beach Diet and found that you weren’t shedding the pounds, now there’s
great news.

According to a new University of Michigan study, researchers have
found that when three bacon cheeseburgers were consumed first thing in
the morning, participants on average lost a total of 15 pounds a month.

“To my knowledge, this is the first prospective study to make the
correlation between bacon cheeseburgers and the incidence of weight
loss.” said author Ronald King, M.D. research gastroenterologist with
the University of Michigan’s Weight Loss Center.

The researchers examined 880 men and 1,241 women in the rural
midwest and over the course of a month fed them bacon cheeseburgers
from Burger King, McDonalds, and Fuddruckers.

It’s believed that when high quantities of protein are consumed
early in the morning it raises the level of leptin, the neurological
hormone associated with blocking common symptoms associated with hunger.

While these are just preliminary studies, the researchers hope to eventually publish a book titled, “Eat Anything You Want.”
