    Apples are natuarally high in sugars and therefore ur brain kinda urges u to take in more food to stop that "hunger" thats not rlly there. If u do actually want to eat an apple what id suggest is eat half of it and after u finish it eat half of a med carrot to fill u up. And later throughout the day (or the next day if u want) eat the other half with the rest of the carrot.

    Apples are a very healthy food, just saw a show on that today. Try eating them baked, for dessert, this may reduce what I think is the acidity that makes us feel hungry. Core them, fill with sweetened ricotta cheese and golden raisins, top with walnuts, and sugar free maple syrup. Bake for about an hour or til tender at 350 degrees, and serve with whipped squirt cream.

    Apples make me feel full. But if i have porridge (oatmeal) for breakfast, I am starving all day!

    Pair the apple with some protein - works like a charm

    I always feel full after an apple. In high school all I ever ate for lunch was an apple and I felt full after eating it, even the sweeter variates.

    I have the opposite problem. Apples fill me UP! Seriously, if I'm really hungry and I know I still have awhile to go before dinner, I'll eat an apple and it holds me off until then... Especially paired with some yogurt. Oh yum.

    I love Fuji's, too, so if I have cheese in the house, I try to eat cheese with my apple. That's a great combo and I don't suffer from hunger afterwards. No need to give them up, if you don't have to!! :)

    I think you guys are eating the wrong apples. Try coxes. They have more fibre and less sugar than other types and far less calories.

    Never had that happen to me. In fact, I eat an apple when I am hungry.

    Yes! I've googled this before but I can't remember the reason behind it. As long as I'm eating something after the apple though, I'm okay. I used to eat a peanut butter sandwich and an apple for lunch at work every day and I would eat the apple first, then the peanut butter sandwich.
