Those with a weakness for sweets can now include cookies and cake in a 600 caloriebreakfast menu with some proteins and carbs to shed weight in a pleasurable way and also stay slim.

Attempting to avoid sweets entirely can create a psychological addiction to these same foods in the long-term, explains Daniela Jakubowicz, professor at Tel Aviv University's Sackler Faculty of Medicine, who led the study.

Over the course of a 32-week-long study, participants who added dessert to their breakfast - cookies, cake, or chocolate - lost an average of 40 pounds more than a group that avoided such foods, the journal Steroids reports.

What's more, they kept off the pounds longer. A meal in the morning provides energy for the day's tasks, aids in brain functioning, and kick-starts the body's metabolism, making it crucial for weight loss and maintenance, according to a Tel Aviv statement.

But the feisty Mini, who loves life and adventure, will have none of that.

India facing must-win ODI against Australia

The World Cup champions are four points adrift of second-placed Australia ahead of two crucial ODIs in three days.

Sydney: India must beat Australia in Sunday's one-day international in Sydney to retain any hope of reaching the tri-series finals, and they must do it while denying claims of changing room unrest.

The World Cup champions are four points adrift of second-placed Australia ahead of two crucial ODIs in three days. It is likely they will have to win both if they are to play in next month's best-of-three finals.

India have slipped behind after back-to-back losses to Sri Lanka and Australia following their tie with Sri Lanka in Adelaide on February 14. If India lose on Sunday they will fall at least eight points behind Australia and will need a bonus-point (five points) win over Sri Lanka in their last match next Tuesday to Hobart to have any chance of reaching the March 4-8 final series.

India's big showdown comes after Indian media reported differences between captain MS Dhoni and two senior batsmen, Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, and the continuing slump in form of Sachin Tendulkar.

Dhoni, who was suspended from India's 51-run loss to Sri Lanka in Brisbane last Tuesday denied Saturday there was any rift within the team over the rotation policy of the opening batting positions.

"Will play like a unit against Australia," said Dhoni, adding that the team was looking forward to building momentum after their recent losses.
