So why would an apple a day work anyway?

So far so good, it's been a few days and I am enjoying my apples. I've been thinking about it though - why would an apple before every meal work? If you are changing nothing else that would actually be more calories.

I haven't bought the book but another website says it says the fiber in the apples fills you up and the sweetness of the apples satisfies any cravings. So I guess you would eat less because of those two things.

Hmm, I have been fairly satisfied they last few days, and I haven't had a lot of cravings, so maybe they are on to something. I also have to speculate that maybe eating the three apples chews you out. You know, where you just don't want to have to chew one more thing. Or, maybe it's the pyruvate found in red apples. I don't know exactly what pyruvate is but several websites trying to sell it as a substitute claim it has a 'phenomenal' affect on weight loss. Just in case, I'll be sticking with red apples.
