Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
A recent study done at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles studied the diets of normal weight and overweight people and found that the normal weight participants ate more fruit and more fiber each day than their heavier counterparts. The overweight eaters tended to consume more total fat and cholesterol, and fewer carbohydrates. The normal weight subjects ate an average of one more piece of fruit per day.
Scientists are saying that their findings lead them to believe that the composition of the daily diet can make a big difference in obesity levels and though the study was on too small a scale to extrapolate the data to the nation population at this time, it is an indicator that the still-popular high fat, low carb diets may not always be the best choice when looking to lose weight or maintain it. Researchers stress, of course, that there is no "magic formula," but when the formula might involve one more piece of fruit per day, what's the harm in adding it in?

I typically have 2 bowls of Total cereal with 1% Simply Smart milk and about 4 to 5 pieces of fruit a day (normally peaches, nectarines, or apples). I have eaten this way for years. Up until about 5 years ago my weight stayed about the same, (no loss at all), then when recovering from a severe accident I gained over 60 lbs. Still eating my 2 bowls of Total a day plus fruit.. and I can't lose the weight because my metabolism shut down. To those that don't normally eat healthy, this is a great diet, but it doesn't always lead to weight loss.

is GOOD ADVICE But you also have to live a somewhat
active lifestyle or have a good metabolism =)

I now eat three apples a day and figure that I'll never die.
So far, so good.
