Fabulous Friday - Apples Make Me Hungry?



via
Has everone had a great Friday???  Almost over!  Weekend is almost here... YAY!
Ok so for the longest time I thought I was the strangest person alive..... Ok... Well, in all actuality I probably am, but for all kinds of different reasons other than what I am about to talk about.

I have ALWAYS been told, "Hey if you're hungry, then eat an apple instead of those chips or crackers"  So I would and every time I would be starving afterwards.  Now, I don't mean oh a little hungry now, but I want to keep eating.  I mean STARVING!!!  I would start of a little on the hungry side but after eating an apple I am full blown stomach growling and burning "I NEED TO EAT NOW!"

Now how weird is that?  I thought I was the only one like this so I never said anything.  Well, one day I decided to so some online research on the subject and it turns out I am NOT the only one!!! There are many many MANY people out there who say the same thing.  It turns out it has something to do with the apple being straight water and sugar carbs and no protein to heed off hunger.  So if you are going to eat an apple so as not to eat the bad food before dinner then include some cheese or peanut butter to the apple.  It will hold you off a lot better that way.

Who else out there has the same hunger pains after eating apples?  I know there has to be more of us.

Just some interesting tidbits of knowledge for today.  Or just my weird idiosyncrasies...  Whatever.  ;)

Have a great weekend everyone!

  2. Totally good to know! and now that y ou say that... yes I do get hungrier after eating apples. Guess I can't get frustrated at the kids for telling me they are so hungry after just having an apple for snack. ;)
