Fight Hunger Pangs With Apples

The idea of eating an apple before meals to curb appetite is practical, given their fiber content and natural sweetness. Plus, the breakdown of soluble vs. insoluble fiber is a useful reminder that we need both types for digestion and overall health.

If an apple a day can keep the doctor away, three can send the pounds away, provided you follow an ingenious diet. Lots of good diets include fresh fruit for snacks and dessert, but eating 3 apples a day focuses on having an apple prior to every main meal. It takes the edge off a ravenous appetite.

Eating an apple before meals helps with feeling full, and they come in such a variety – Fujis are sweet, Granny Smiths are tart, perfect for your particular craving.
