Want to lose weight? Try eating a bigger breakfasts, say researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University.

According to a recent study, participants who ate a big breakfast loaded with carbs and protein, then ate progressively smaller meals with less carbs as the day went on lost more weight over time than participants who followed a low-carb diet all day.

The study, per its summary in Muscle & Body magazine, found that both diets were equally effective for weight loss at the four-month mark, but after eight months, the low-carb dieters regained the lost weight while the "big breakfast" dieters lost an additional 16.5 pounds.
