A few apples a day can keep the guilt away . . . or whatever mom used to say.

I don't want to act like I have discovered a foolproof plan, and no, you will not shed an "Ozempic amount" of pounds by following me; however, I have found a natural way to curb your appetite while still being able to enjoy some of your favorite foods in moderation.

I love food and I know this is something that we expect all hungry and greedy people like me to say, but my story goes deeper. There's something extremely satisfying about that first bite into a burger with the perfect temperature, buttery golden eggs fried just right, or that last slice of cheesy, greasy pizza. I could literally go out to eat at a restaurant every day of the week if it weren't so expensive.

Having this kind of appetite is not sustainable, though, especially if you want to avoid being stretched across the hospital bed with a blood pressure of 300 over 200. So, what do we do?
