What is the 3-Apple-a-Day Plan?
Americans are getting fatter and fatter every year, in spite of all the “miracle” diets and self-help books that line the bookshelves. Why? These diets simply don’t work! Sure, people can drop weight rapidly at first, losing mostly muscle tissue, not fat, and decreasing metabolism.
This instant gratification not only gives false hope, it makes it all the harder to lose once they regain the fat—which usually occurs within a year for 95% of them.

How is the 3-Apple-a-Day Plan different?
The 3-Apple-a-Day Plan is an eating plan for life, not a quick fix. Unlike fad diets that are based on deprivation, the Plan is based on eating, and not feeling deprived. It combines delicious balanced meal plans with exercise—to help you achieve increased muscle tone and maximum fat loss while maintaining or increasing metabolism.
It has worked for tens of thousands of obese and overweight men, women and kids (the fastest growing segment of obese Americans). And it will work for you, too.

Four easy steps to success.
EAT an apple before every meal! They’re the key to success. Pick up a week’s supply today—so you don’t run out!
FOLLOW Tammi’s meal plans and use the handy shopping list to buy most of your groceries. Incorporate these items in your daily meal plan.
DRINK lots of water! From eight to 10 glasses a day, depending on your weight.

Apples accelerate fat loss. So does exercise!
Everyone needs exercise to stay healthy over their lifetimes. Yet our modern lifestyle of conveniences—cars, remote controls, washer-dryers, escalators, and a myriad of other “step savers”—have engineered almost all activity out of our lives.
In the past 100 years, thanks to more and more automation, we’re burning less and less calories. No wonder we’re getting fat!
