    I'm quite the opposite! I eat an apple and I feel stuffed.

    Maybe I should eat more apples.

    It may be because you're reminding yourself that food exists. I sometimes find eating makes me more hungry- not sure if that's physical or pyschological. It could be a kickstart to the metabolism, or it could be that you're now thinking about food. Sorry, I've been very unhelpful

    I think it has to do with your body metabolising the sugar (which there's a lot!) so quickly in fruits that they can actually make you feel hungry. Chocolate, wine or any liquer, do the same thing to me.

    Try eating the apple with a protein like string cheese or skip the apple and grab fresh cucmbers. Slice and dice and you have something refreshing as well as filling!

    Me three! I spoke to my (horseback riding) trainer who is also a nutritionist (or part of the way ...) we think it has to do with the sugars, the fiber content and the water content. But I love them anyway!

    I totally do, my dad and a co-worker of mine have said the same thing. It's like anti-food.

    I feel the same way after an apple, usually. But it seems green apples are worse than any other kind. But, I don't really care for them so I don't eat the green ones much anyway.

    Me too! Whew, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was beginning to think I was freakish!

    I was thinking this same thing today after I ate my apple slices at work.
