I really love apples, they helped me lose 10 pounds in just 2-3 weeks =) I just ate apple in the morning instead of taking in a lot of carbs that I eventually would not burn during the day. I have a question though, what is the difference between green and red apples? A friend of mine said that the green apples are healthier and lower in sugar, but I can’t find evidence for that.
Thanks for your comment, Mishka! Yes, apples are a wonderful choice for good nutrition, crunch and flavor. And, they can help fill you up, making them handy for slow and steady weight loss.
yes, apples are really one of my favorite fruits
Last Halloween. I went out with my husband on a beach, brought some wonder wheelers and made some apple salads while enjoying the sunset. Never had a better day in the whole month if I may say =)
