Eating a big breakfast is one of the keys to losing weight

Over the years, many studies have shown that eating a big breakfast is key to losing weight or at least not gaining weight. A new study says eating a big breakfast might be more effective than eating low carb. Comparing a low carb diet with a "big breakfast" diet:

Four months on, the low-carb dieters appeared to be doing better, losing an average of 28 pounds to the 23 shed on the "big breakfast" diet.

However, after eight months, the situation had reversed, with the low-carb dieters putting an average of 18 of those pounds back on, while the big breakfasters continued to lose weight, on average 16.5 pounds each.

They lost a fifth of their total body weight on average, compared with less than 5% for the low-carb dieters.

I wonder what happens if they eat a low carb, big breakfast diet? (Eating low carb for breakfast is easy: eggs, bacon, sausage, ...)
