An Apple a Day Keeps Calories Away

View in Browser An Apple a Day Keeps Calories Away Curb cravings with fruit   How did celebrity chef Nikki Cascone, a Top Chef veteran and owner of Octavia’s Porch in New York City, drop 42 pounds of baby weight?   She stocked her fridge with veggies ready for stir-fries and salads, and made sure to have plenty of low-cal, protein-rich toppings like hard-boiled eggs, chickpeas and smoked salmon on hand.   Another trick? She committed to eating two pieces of fruit a day and wouldn’t give in to a craving for ice cream or other sweets without munching an apple first, which often eliminated her craving. When it didn’t, it helped her feel satisfied with a much smaller portion than she would have had on an empty stomach.
