Enjoy your autumn fruit with these 10 tasty apple recipes!

This season get your apple on with these delicious new ways to enjoy apples!

Crunch, crunch. Munch, munch. I love the crisp, crunchy sounds and sweet flavour of autumn's signature fruit, the apple. But sometimes if I have had too much of it, I get bored of apples and they lose their appeal. This is exactly what I don't want to have happen! Apples are excellent for your health!

Apples fall in the lower end of the glycemic index, containing a high volume of water and fibre. What does that mean? It means that you would have to eat a lot of apples before you significantly raised your blood sugar levels. Apples can help you add nutrition to your meals and keep you full longer!

So how can we keep this nutritious autumn delight in our diet without getting bored of it? Shape Magazine shared fresh ideas and tasty recipes in their slideshow: 10 New (Delicious!) Ways to Eat Apples.

Enjoy your apples!

Love your food for the right reasons with 6 great tips for a satisfying relationship with your food!

We all know that changing your lifestyle (especially when it comes to food) can be a difficult journey. However, we want to help make that transition to a healthier, happier you, as easy as possible - starting with your relationship with food! Read on for 6 Tips for a Satisfying Relationship with Food.

6 Tips for a Satisfying Relationship with Food

1. Add PGX to Your Meal Routine: Take PGX before your meal to help you feel fuller faster (and more satisfied!), which will result in you eating less calories.
2. Eat High Volume, Low Calorie Foods: If you do have foods on the menu that are higher in calories, try to eat these later in the meal. That way, when you get to those food items, you will be eating more slowly and feeling more satisfied with less food.
3. Stick to Foods That Make You Feel Satisfied: No, unfortunately, we're not talking about foods that one indulges in, however satisfying that may be; we're referring to foods that will leave you satisfied with less.
   Here are a few of our favs: low-fat salads; high-fibre soups; legumes; non-starchy vegetables; and boiled whole grains like barley, quinoa, and oatmeal.
4. Avoid Problem Foods: Steer clear of foods that you know cause you problems. Addicted to chocolate? Try not to keep it in your house.
   Side Note: Fortunately, if you're taking PGX, unhealthy food cravings are greatly diminished!
5. Drink Water! When you're tummy starts grumbling, before you reach for that snack, try drinking some water. You may think you're hungry but you may just be thirsty; your body sends the same signal to your brain regardless of whether it's dehydrated or hungry.
6. Eat Slowly: Until your body has had the time to digest and absorb the food you're eating, it won't know that it's full. Eating your meal at a slower pace helps prevent overeating and allows you to enjoy and savour your food!
