Apple and Onion Soup
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, goes the old adage. But did you know that apples can also keep excess pounds away?

Also onions help keep excess pounds at bay: onions are one of the best dietary sources of chromium, a mineral that can help increase or maintain lean body mass and aid in fat loss when combined with exercise.
