  Consume 1/2 cup to one cup of pineapple cubes after breakfast, lunch and dinner. This will aide your digestion and should help keep you from overeating at meals or reaching for dessert.

  Eat pineapple any time you crave a sweet treat. Since pineapple is low in calories, this will reduce your over all caloric intake and increase your intake of vitamins. Most people won't overeat pineapple due to its' high acid content.
