We all know that the secret to a good diet is eating fewer calories. British researchers from the Imperial College of London have found that our biggest problem is not eating correctly. They say that every meal should start with something sweet because it has a positive effect on the brain.

According to the British, it is necessary to first satisfy the brain by giving it food that will provide quick energy to the body. Of course, the sweet dish must come before the salty one. Once we satisfy the basic needs, the brain is no longer burdened with food, and you will have an easier time controlling your appetite. In our bodies, we have proteins that count how much glucose we have consumed. If the daily intake is too low, then the body literally craves more starch, more calories, leading to overeating. However, if we prioritize the sweet, researchers promise that by doing so, even if you are not on a diet, you will eat a quarter fewer calories, and with some self-discipline even up to 50%.

Additionally, we must also consider another problem. The British are known to be slow eaters, which is not common in our region. The reaction time of the brain is 20 minutes, which means that the above advice only applies if you eat the dessert for a good quarter of an hour.
