The power of Pineapple

I was recently watching Rachel Ray the other day and she had a health food doctor/specialist on the show.  He was telling her and the audiance about power foods and foods that help the body.  For instance, he said that lemon, cleanses the liver, Potates are a natural sedative and the one that I loved was Pineapple naturally breaks down fat, making it easier to pass through the body and less likely to store in your body.  The doctor sugested eating pineapple with fatty foods on those days you feel you need to cheat.    So next time you feel a pizza craving coming on,  remember to add extra pineapple on it!

I love pineapple so I have been eating a small bowl of pineapple in the morning with low fat cottage cheese and some at dinner time too.  It makes me feel good.

mmmm pineapple....I love pineapple too:)

kiwifruit is also a great little addition to your diet.:) here's some info...

I'm allergic to kiwifruit. Isn't that stupid? I mean, who's allergic to kiwi??

Me, apparently.

awww that sucks!

I'm allergic to cantaloupe and honeydew :O(

i've heard that if a dude eats pineapple regularly, that... uh... that... well, that his, you know... his "essence" will be tasty.

meat_pillow, I would think that salty pineapple flavored man-essence wouldn't be that tasty. Perhaps I consider man-essence to be more...savory than sweet?

Maybe if he eats a lot of pepperoni pizza. THAT'S a flavah I could get into lol

lmao

So wrong...! :) Pepperoni-flavoured essence... yeesh.

>:O/   you're right jayd....so wrong.....lol

like your cool...you think you know..............Pinneaple, huh!

shakti,

Ross Geller on Friends was allergic to Kiwi and had to go to the hospital to get a shot when Monica made Kiwi-Lime Pie.

-how lame am I?

meat_pillow...I've heard that..apparently it goes for girls too...also pineapple is supposed to help bring on labour....didn't work for me but...so, fact or fiction? Pineapple is yummy, and doesn't make you fat, works for me! A super super food.

I wish I liked pineapple but I just can't get into it. Maybe I need to try it as a fresh fruit and not just on pizza.

try dipping it in sweet batter and deep frying it....um, maybe not...I'd advocate fresh over canned, try dipping it in yoghurt, or maybe it's just not tantalising your tastebuds, I can't stand melon, any shape or form of it, have tried it every way imaginable and I still can't make myself like it, some things just don't work...

what meat_pillow said...  it's true... I'm just sayin'    ;)

Pineapple is my favourite food. I'm so happy to hear it burns fat!

dammit - i love pinapple, but fruits make my blood sugar sooaaar which makes me have cravings which then in turn makes me want bad carbs...like cookies, jelly beans, cakes, etc...

this website makes me hungry and I came here to diet.  :P  haha

what is it about pineapple that helps break down fat?  a few years ago when i got my wisdom teeth removed, for two weeks before my surgery, my doctor had me drinking 16 oz a day of pineapple juice and taking bromelain capsules (an enzyme found in pineapple) to reduce swelling.  i think that aids in protein digestion.

i love pineapple... the only thing is it "tears up" my tongue when i eat it.. does that happen to anyone else?

edit: i seemed to have misspelled pineapple over and over, haha

you know, there is a theory out there that some instances of obesity is related to the problem of inflammation too...

that's very interesting....

YUM YUM after reading this I wanted some so I just had a big bowl of cottage cheese and crushed pineapple (140cal) MMMMMM.... I love guilt free foods :)

i love pineapple... the only thing is it "tears up" my tongue when i eat it.. does that happen to anyone else?

Pineapple tears up my tongue too..kinda makes it tingle for awhile.. It must be the acid in it. 

Pineapple is also good to eat after beans.  There are enzymes(sp) in it that help with gas.
