Ms. Tammi Flynn, a dietitian and gym training instructor in Washington is the founder of this diet plan. One of her clients ate an apple before each meal without changing else and could lose weight without problems. She experimented this diet with her other clients and could achieve weight loss, up to seventeen pounds in three months.
The high fibres and sugars present in apple makes you feel full and prevents cravings. This is the principle oft he 3 apple a day diet. This diet is low in carbohydrates and saturated fatty acids. Whole grain products are preferred and refined sugars are avoided.
4 – 5 meals are recommended daily. Each meal or snack must contain lean protein food. This helps to reduce appetite and thus increases the chance of weight loss.
The recommended foods include:
• Apples
• Low fat yogurt
• Low fat cottage cheese
• Eggs
• Lean beef or mutton
• Turkey
• Chicken breast
• Salmon or other fish
• Brown rice
• Oatmeal
• Leafy vegetables, broccoli, lettuce etc.
The sample plan

The above plan is only to give you an idea. You can have the food which you like. If you want to take other fruits you could take it, but 5 servings are needed. In the literature you can find hundreds of recipes including the individual plans of individuals. If done properly it is a good food.
