(CBS) Good news, dessert lovers: A new study suggests adding ice cream, cake, chocolate or cookies to your breakfast might actually help people lose weight.

For the study - published in the Mar. 10 issue of Steroids - Israeli researchers took 193 obese people between ages 20 and 65 and assigned them to one of two diets that were almost identical except for breakfast. One diet included a low-carbohydrate breakfast, while the other contained a high-carb, protein-enriched breakfast with a choice of one of the desserts.
The patients were also given blood tests throughout the study, to check for levels of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite.
After 16 weeks of dieting, both groups lost similar weights: about 33 pounds in the group that ate low-carb breakfast, compared with nearly 30 pounds in the group that ate a high-protein breakfast with dessert. But after 32 weeks, the low-carb group gained more than 25 of those pounds back, while the group that ate desserts in their breakfast regained about 15 pounds.
How do the researchers explain this effect? They say most obese dieters fail to keep off the weight once they lose it, because they're more likely to get hunger cravings because of decreased ghrelin suppression. Their study found that people in the dessert group reduced that hormone's levels by 45 percent while those in the low-carb group only reduced levels by 29.5 percent. That suggests people in the dessert group were fuller and less hungry.
"Most people simply regain weight, no matter what diet they are on," study author Dr. Daniela Jakubowicz, a diabetes researcher at Tel Aviv University in Israel, told the New York Times. "But if you eat what you like, you decrease cravings. The cake - a small piece - is important.
