Breakfast of champions

I love me some bacon (in fact, I’m starting to think I maybe need to start a separate food blog, Cupcakes & Bacon…) and I’ll eat it any time of the day — as part of brunch, a BLT for lunch, bacon explosion or spaghetti carbonara for dinner.

Research published this week, though, found that eating a high-fat meal first thing in the morning (such as bacon and fried eggs) may be the healthiest way to prep your body for the rest of the day. A bowl of cereal or a bagel on the other hand may only program your body to break down only carbs.

The study, which was published in the International Journal of Obesity, was conducted on mice and the fat-rich breakfast appears to prep your body into better preventing the development of metabolic syndrome.
