Does a Apple a Day Keep The Weight Away ?

Remember when you where young and someone might say a apple a day keeps the doctor away how about a twist on this catch-phrase.

How about three apples a day keeps the weight away yes that's right three apples a day, this is the first time I have heard of this concept before now actually, I was just looking for some information regarding apples and then came across this by accident.

Someone has written a book around this principle of eating, I am always open to new ways of losing weight as each new bit of information helps me understand more about losing weight.

This way of eating was found out by accident by someone who was trying to help someone who was trying to lose weight, Tammi Flynn had some problems with one of her clients losing weight so adding fruit was suggested one of her favourite was apples and a suggestion was made to eat one half an hour before her meals she did this for seven days came back and said to Tammi "look at this my clothes are looser"
she said it must be the apples, she lost a total of one and half pounds of body fat over a week period, at first Tammi was a bit skeptical so more people where told to try the same thing over the same time frame, and results again and again.

So what is the secret that apples hold well they can stop hunger pangs for up to four hours, eating three apples a day ups your fibre intake up to 15 grams per day, researchers have found that by doing this it slashes your calorie consumption by 10%.

Apples contain there own fibre called pectin which is soluble but has the power to suppress your appetite more than normal fibre, pectin creates like a jelly in your stomach, which takes longer to break down also pectin sends a hormone message to your brain to stop eating. So you have a two fold effect in operation also they prevent blood sugar spikes from happening.

Who would think that one fruit had so many hidden weight loss properties glad I started to eat them because I never used to.
