Can Apples Help You Lose Weight?
Whether next to a sandwich, packed in a pie, or grabbed as a handy snack, apples might well be America’s national fruit. But besides their convenience and their status as a no-brainer accompaniment to a boxed lunch, these shapely fruits have also been associated with weight loss. Some studies have compared the consumption of apples to other foods (even other fruits, like pears) and found that the round, red guys come out on top for helping people shed pounds.
What’s that about? Read on to find out why dietitians believe eating apples can help you lose weight. (And while we’re talking apples, check out what happens to your body when you eat one every day!)
