Who's been eating apples? Do you trim the skin off? I really want one and I love the skin, do you think it would be okay if I chew, chew, chew, chew, chew (you get the idea)?

Try it and see....I haven't tried apples, but I eat nectarines. I take that back, one day I had a happy meal at mcd's and ordered the apples instead of fries...they went down ok (I think the skin is on them)....

I peel them, I hate apple skin. Its like fingernails on a blackboard to me, something about the sensation of it on my teeth. I also cant take the first bite out of an apple, i have to slice it up. Otherwise I would happily leave an apple just sitting there even if I were about to die of starvation.

But peeled and sliced, when I make the effort, I wonder why the heck I dont eat them more often. They are one of the easier fruits for me once prepared, whereas bananas, ugh, cant swallow them, have to have those in smoothies.< /p>

Apples are uncomfortable for me to eat. I can eat them with the skin on, but it usually goes brown before I can eat the whole thing. I usually just have a couple of slices once in awhile if I can get someone else to eat the rest. I just have to really take my time in eating them and chewing well. Even then I don't get all warm and fuzzy in the process. More like pressure. So it's something I don't gravitate to if I want fruit.< /p>

I eat them. I cut it up in small chucks, sometimes peeling them. Then I zip-lock them and nimble on them like potatoe chips. They help keep me fuller between meals. Although Peanut Butter is not recommended by some doctors, sometimes I grab a spoon of it and dip the apples in it.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
