Answer 2

I don't think it's too bad if it's not long term. My twin brother has a apple diet that he follows whenever he gains a few pounds and it's more restrictive than yours. Here's my brothers apple diet. Apple for breakfast Apple for lunch Anything ( within reason) you want for dinner. 1/2 an Apple for night snack Takes Multi vitamins daily Also , He only drinks water when he's on the diet. He loses about 4-5 lbs a week. He only does it for 2 weeks tops. I can't do it I HATE apples.

Answer 3

Absolutely not. Apples are wonderful for diets for several reasons...

1) Apples (with the skin on) are an excellent source of nutrition. The vitamins and minerals you get will supplement anything lacking in your diet.

2) They satisfy you urge to chew.......a full 50% of what drives us to eat every day. The amount of time it takes to eat an apple equals what it would take to to eat a normal meal....meaning you fill on less food.

3) If you add eating slowly to the above, you can reduce your caloric intake on average by well over 1000 calories a day.

Eat up, sweetie!!!

Answer 4

No, of course not. Apples are a wonderful source of roughage, plus the old adage, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," seems to be true. They are delicious and low-calorie treats, and if that weren't enough, in a pinch, they can substitute for a toothbrush. Now apple PIE is an entirely different ball of wax, LOL.

Answer 5

No, they're quite good. The calories in an apple are less than the calories that it takes to digest it, so they're termed "negative calorie".

Eating snacks like apples also helps to keep up your metabolism throughout the day.

They also have vitamins, vitamin C being a key one.

So really, the more appples you eat, the better it is for you & for your diet.

Answer 6

There's a reason people say "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". Apples are not only a tasty snack, they are very good for you in many ways (including promoting weight loss).

From Wikipedia:
"Research [4] suggests that apples may reduce the risk of colon cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer. Like many fruits, Apples contain Vitamin C as well as a host of other antioxidant compounds, which may reduce the risk of cancer by preventing DNA damage. The fibre content, while less than in most other fruits, helps regulate bowel movements and may thus reduce the risk of colon cancer. They may also help with heart disease, weight loss and controlling cholesterol, as they do not have any cholesterol, have fibre (which reduces cholesterol by preventing reabsorption), and are bulky for their caloric content like most fruits and vegetables."

Answer 7

No. Apples are good for diets.

Answer 8

Apples are a great source of simple carbohydrates. I would suggest eating an apple with your pre-or-post workout meal for a quick boost of energy.

Answer 9

I've looked through several bodybuilding sites and many of the bodybuilders recommend that you don't eat fruits while trying to lose weight because it can slow down weight loss.But I have lost weight and was having a fruit smoothie in the morning,so I don't think it makes a huge difference but for a bodybuilder one pound is a big difference so that is probably why they don't recommend it.

Answer 10

Not at all! They are very good for you but don't eat just apples.
