Kettlebody Tip #59: Keep a basket of apples

A personal trainer at Gold’s Gym had her clients eat an apple before every meal. After twelve weeks, they lost an average of 17 pounds per person! She even wrote a book about it.

If you ask me, apples are the number one food for weight loss.

They fill you up. They are delicious. They keep you hydrated. And they are very low in calories.

Want more proof? Check out this article from USA Today about a study in which participants who ate a whole apple before lunch ate 200 calories less of their meal than those who ate either nothing or the equivalent amount of applesauce or juice.

I recommend keeping lots of washed apples on hand both at home and at work. My slim mother keeps a cooler with some apples in her car at all times. If you are one hell of a ‘mo on the go, try those packets of sliced apples from Costco.
