Apples for weight loss. Yes that's what I've been reading.
Apparently if you eat an apple before a main meal, it helps make you feel fuller.
I have actually been doing this for the last five days and I can honestly say that I think it works.
I have one for morning tea and one again at around 4 o'clock. I do feel more satisfied from eating an apple at this time then I do eating a muesli bar or raisin toast. By the time dinner time is here, I'm really not as hungry and don't get that hunger pain that usually arises when the smell of food is around.

Apples are full of fibre and take longer to break down. They also contain many vitamins and minerals and are low in calories.
Contain less sodium which helps prevent water retention. Full of vitamin C, an antioxidant, which can help prevent heart disease.

So by and by, the humble old apple really may keep the doctor away.
