Behind each of these unusual pairings is a beautiful love story.

Now after continued research, Dr. Jakubowicz presents THE BIG BREAKFAST DIET, with its promise that you can have all the foods you crave, from pasta to bacon to ice cream, with just one catch-you have to eat them before 9:00 A.M. Based on the body's natural rhythms, eating a big, complete breakfast revs up your metabolism; helps burn more calories during the day and more fat at night; satisfies hunger all day long; boosts your energy; eliminates cravings for sweets; and reduces the risk of serious health conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. After explaining the science behind the diet, and how the body's hormones and metabolism process food differently depending on what time of day you eat, THE BIG BREAKFAST DIET centres around a full 28-day meal plan-breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, plus recipes. The day begins with a typical breakfast-a smoothie or shake, Oatmeal-Protein Pancakes with Very Berry Syrup, Ham Roll-Ups, a breakfast sweet-and ends with a moderate, delicious dinner-Zesty Flank Steak with Roasted Asparagus or Apple-Honey Pork with Orange Broccoli.
