Jane Velez-Mitchell Hosts Kathy Freston On “HLN” (Video)

Kathy Freston, author of vegan diet and health book The Lean, appeared on HLN’s Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell to discuss how adopting a vegan lifestyle can help combat obesity, a disease one researcher has predicted will affect 32 more million people within two decades.
Although there’s no one cure for the disease, Freston suggests something as simple as an apple a day may keep the pounds away.
Of course, it helps if you eat it versus only balancing it on your head as Velez-Mitchell does in the segment.
“When your mom told you “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” she was right,” Freston said. “But it also helps to melt the pounds away.”
“Apples have a special kind of fiber called pectin. Pectin is used in jams and jellies. The fiber leaves your belly twice as slowly as other fiber. That means you’re going to be full for longer.”
Hear Freston’s remaining advice in the clip above.
