Apples may help to lose weight

Apples are great, especially if they come from your own garden because they supply your body with much-needed fibre. Fibre reduces early hunger and prolongs the feeling of being full. Now you know why there is an apple diet but be careful, because you should definitely opt for more variety. Not just apples.

Of course, the rule of thumb says that everything should be taken in moderation. The most important thing is to focus on your daily intake of carbohydrates. Your body can deal with carbohydrates, especially during morning hours when you can burn the extra energy easier.
