OMG!!! Here I am almost 50 years old and I am just discovering how absolutely yummy fresh pineapple is!!! It is soooo sweet and juicy...what have I been missing all my life!!! There are only 74 calories in one cup and...take it from a candy FREAK...former I should say...it's better than candy!! I'm also finding out it has many health benefits, not to mention of course, the help in taking care of those nasty urges to shove down a candy bar. So...to any (former...or wanna be) CANDY FIEND, MFP's out there...have a pineapple instead!!!

    My mom used to get one of the Walmart trail mixes and let me have all the dried pineapple - SO good. I haven't eaten a whole lot of pineapple since the lifestyle change but we had a can in our pantry and I had it and wondered WHY I hadn't been eating some all along! I may buy some tonight. :bigsmile:
  • Mmmm. I think I will go get some.
