anana fiber creates extra bulk in the
stomach, allowing participants to
feel full longer — and less hungry
overall. The fiber acts like an internal accel-
erator that pulls some of the fat in the
stomach through the digestive system
before it can be absorbed. Increasing con-
sumption of fruits and vegetables in
general, and bananas in particular, can help
support healthy, sustainable weight loss.
Slimmers can begin each day with two
bananas and at least eight ounces of water.
Follow with lunch and dinner recipes that
combine lean chicken or fish with fresh
fruits and vegetables, low-fat cheeses,
wheat pasta, long-grain rice and salads.
Boost your energy and improve their over-
all health while you lose weight.

small way, we are doing our part to help people achieve the
American Dream. This dream that workers can hold dear regard-

beliefs.
