Losing weight is one thing and maintaining that slim figure is quite another as most overweight people tend to regain the lost weight soon - unless you are in love with prunes!
"In the long run, these may be beneficial to dieters by tackling hunger and satisfying appetite - a major challenge when you are trying to maintain weight loss," Harrold added.In a program spanning over 12 weeks, researchers examined 100 overweight and obese low-fibre consumers.They found that members of the group who ate prunes as part of a healthy life-style diet lost two kg in weight and shed 2.5 cm off their waists.The prune eaters experienced greater weight loss during the last four weeks of the study.After week eight, participants showed increased feelings of fullness in the prune group.Moreover, despite the high daily doses, prunes were well tolerated."Along with fresh fruit and vegetables, dried fruit can provide a useful and convenient addition to the diet, especially as controlling appetite during dieting can be tough," said Jason Halford, professor of experimental psychology at University of Liverpool.
