Lots of apples today. Here was a funny experiment…I mixed one packet of splenda in a container of plain greek yogurt and then dipped some apples in it this morning. I ate 2 entire apples and had to actually stop myself from eating the rest of the entire pint of yogurt (it tastes amazing!!!). The sweetness was so good that I never really noticed (and wouldn’t have noticed, if I wouldn’t have stopped myself) that I was full!…well then this evening I had been craving that concoction all day (apples dipped in yogurt). Only, tonight, I dipped them in PLAIN yogurt and did not add the sweetener.
Results: completely satisfied and full after only eating one half of an apple. The first few slices seemed tasteless and weren’t as sweet as I wanted, but I found I really did enjoy the taste and didn’t need the extra sweet flavor. Once again, a little reminder that I am not one who can be trusted around “sweets”

I hear a nutritionist on tv that is very healthy to make your own fruit yogurt. Way better than buying it from the store. You can mix cherries, apples, apricots, bananas, almost anything. And cocktails of fruits too. Very delicious
Try some strwberries with yogurt. delicious

Hi, Monica! Can you post some picture from the beginning until the end of your diet?
I have eaten a lot of combinations of yogurt and fruits, most of them right from the store, but i’ve never tried with apples. i think it’s worth a try
I like you blog!! It seems you worked a lot on it and I appreciate it. Tell me when your book is ready, I want to have one
i’ll give it a try… i will choose a low fat yogurt and some green apples…. it should barely have some calories all together! thx for the idea
good idea! thx a lot
