Experts claim that eating an apple a day helps burn fat, and eating it before a meal can contribute to a loss of up to 5 kg annually.

The fruit's fiber content is said to make you feel full, so eat smaller meals and avoid snacking on unhealthy foods.

Leading nutritionist Rob Hobson said apples are three times more filling than a bar of chocolate, and they are healthier.

He continued, "Apples contain 1.2 grams of dietary fiber per 100 grams, which makes us feel full and satisfied when we feel hungry, especially when eaten before meals. Pectin, the fiber in apples, also helps to regulate bacteria in the intestine, which in turn may help in Suppress weight gain and the accumulation of fats in the body. "

The apple plan - one daily for a year - was backed by nutritionist Lucy Dawson, 34, from Brighton.

"If I can change some weight tight just by eating an apple before dinner, that sounds like a diet to me," she said. "I've tried most other diets and it's just so painful."

And a study by the British Apple and Pear Industry found that a daily pre-dinner portion of fruit can aid weight loss.
