Chocolaty Bread

The Netherlands is probably one of the biggest fans of bread in Europe. A lot of tourists who get to swing by are enamoured with the assortment of their breads. Generally, their breakfast and lunch mainly consist of bread. That being said, you won't be surprised by the variety of bread and sandwich toppings you can find there. "Luxury" isn't the right term for it, you might want to lean toward "necessity".

Typically, breakfast consists of 2-4 slices of bread, and it depends on whether you'd like an open or closed-face sandwich. Margarine or butter is spread onto the bread in order for the toppings to stick. One sandwich will have a cover that is on the more savory side, and the other one will be on the sweeter side. Dutch children typically eat the savory sandwich first, followed by the sweet one which they usually crave.

They found out that incorporating dessert together with a well-balanced 600-calorie breakfast, which has proteins and carbohydrates, enables those on a diet to drop some pounds and maintain it over the long haul.

Researchers sorted 193 clinically obese, non-diabetic adults into two groups. The groups were given practically the same low-carbohydrate diets of 1,400 calories each day for women and 1,600 calories a day for men. However, one group had been provided with a low-carbohydrate 300-calorie breakfast and the other had been supplied with a 600-calorie breakfast which was loaded with protein and carbohydrates, and constantly came with a dessert.
