Stay pruned

ya am talking tht dried stuff.... old n wrinkled prunes
it don't taste so bad...especially when you think of it as sth that will make you skinnier...FAST!

AND HOW does it do that?

There's a sweet, super-smart snack that could help you feel fuller, so you'd eat less at mealtimes and fit into your jeans better.

So what gives prunes the advantage in edging out hunger?
It's the fiber. Even though each test snack had roughly the same amount of protein, calories, carbs, and fat, the prune snack packed more than twice the fiber. That chewy fiber makes you eat more slowly, allowing your brain to realize when you've had enough to eat. And the roughage sits in your stomach for a long time, slowing down digestion. The fiber also reduces the rate at which sugar is soaked up into your bloodstream -- good for keeping insulin levels on an even keel and reducing between-meal hunger pangs.
