I have always been a fit guy, but always had a little weight that never would come off. But I took your advice and put a big bowl of fruit out in my kitchen -- and so whenever I got hungry I would grab an apple or whatever....bravo! I lost some weight. Thanks, plus now i get my daily fruits!
For lunch, I find a great way to fill up and add fruit to your diet is by putting some low fat cherry yogurt in a bowl, add sliced bananas, lowfat granola, and some blueberries. It is sooo good and refreshing! AND, it fills me up and makes me feel good!
Some people, like myself, hate traditional "breakfast" stuff. Here is something good: make yourself a grilled cheese with tomato slices or Granny Smith apple slices! It's kind of festive, like a sneaky midnight snack. Or, try some leftover chicken or turkey on whole wheat crackers with apple slices, pear slices, or cherries. This is really good.
