FED UP WITH FAD DIETS? GET IN SHAPE FOR LIFE WITH A HEALTHY EATING REGIME AND CALIFORNIA PRUNES
Fad celebrity diets such as the Detoxing diet, currently being followed by celebrities like Megan Fox, may be a fast fix but are restrictive and difficult to stick to. Inevitably, we return to our old eating habits and the weight creeps back on. If you are looking to start a healthy eating regime that may contribute to long term weight loss, then try incorporating quality California Prunes as part of a balanced diet.
Why California Prunes?
Prunes contain only naturally occurring sugars, so you can reach for the prunes guilt-free when you need a sugar fix as they are virtually fat-free and contain only 20 calories
Prunes are high in fibre which can help to maintain a healthy digestive system and keep you feeling fuller longer so you are less likely to reach for the biscuit tin – perfect when watching your weight
Just three California Prunes equates to one portion of the recommended daily intake of fruit and vegetables
Like all fruits, California Prunes provide high levels of antioxidants and the vital nutrients potassium, copper and vitamin K
California prunes provide potassium, copper and vitamin K and are naturally low in fat and salt.
Amanda Hamilton, Nutritionalist, TV presenter and Founder of BabyToo BootCamp, says; “We all know that being physically active is as important to our health as our diet. Make sure your body is fuelled for exercise by snacking on high fibre foods such as California Prunes. They’ll leave you feeling fuller for longer and the fibre they contain can help maintain digestive health. Their naturally occurring sugars could also help boost energy levels.”
California Prunes have long been recognised by chefs and cooks as a high quality, versatile ingredient. Low in fat they make a great substitute for butter or oil when cooking. Blend some prunes with water to make a prune puree which adds moisture without adding calories.
