Let’s face it…
It’s always a challenge to eat healthy during the holiday season.
Between the enormous Thanksgiving dinner… to the countless Christmas cookies and treats that tempt you at every corner…
It’s no surprise that our waistlines feel a little ‘snugger’ during this time of year.
But fending off those extra ‘holiday’ pounds doesn’t mean you need to deprive yourself… or go on some crash diet.
The secret to staving off those extra pounds, according to new research, could be as simple as making sure you eat this super snack.
According to a research study out of England, eating PRUNES may actually help keep your appetite in check which prevents overeating… thus minimizing the risk of gaining weight.
Prunes are synonymous with maintaining regularity, but researchers have found that eating more prunes can help you control your appetite better, consume fewer calories, and even help you lose weight comparted to folks who choose to eat other snacks.
In fact, the study found that people who ate prunes generally consumed the fewest number of calories during their next meal. The prune snackers also reported feeling less hungry throughout the day, feeling fuller after eating, and feeling as though they couldn’t eat as much later on… which means less calories.

But how to prunes prevent you from overeating?
You see, compared to other ‘sweet’ snacks, prunes are very high in fiber, which helps you feel full without eating more.
In other words, a handful of prunes is going to keep you feeling fuller… LONGER. And when that happens, the less tempted you’ll be to reach for those rich, savory Christmas cookies!
Just remember, while prunes can help you maintain a steady appetite and prevent overeating, it doesn’t mean you should eat prunes with reckless abandon.
While high in fiber, prunes are still very calorie dense. But if you stick to the serving size listed on the product label, you’ll be just fine.
So, this holiday season, don’t feel like you need to deprive yourself…
Just consider a handful of prunes once in a while to help you (and your waistline) get through the season!
