The Forbidden Fruit Diet

You've probably heard the advice that an apple a day can keep the doctor away. But you may not have heard about the 3-apple-a-day diet plan.
The idea is simple, have an apple before each meal, and you'll naturally eat less without feeling hungry. The diet's creator Tammi Flynn, R.D. claims that the strategy — when paired with a simple food plan (based on eating more, not less), 8 glasses of water a day, and a daily walk — will melt the extra pounds away and keep them off. Flynn says the technique has helped tens of thousands of people win their battle against obesity without feeling hungry.
Even if you can't stomach the thought of three apples a day, adding more to your diet is a wise idea. And there are dozens of apple varieties to try, which keeps things interesting. The non-forbidden fruits also make a great snack choice, with just 80 calories, 5 grams of soluble and insoluble fiber (20% of the daily total), cancer-fighting flavanoids, and antioxidants. Plus, they're portable and come prepackaged in their own skin. Hey! Maybe Eve was onto something!
