The Apple Diet was written by Tammi Flynn (RD) who was helping clients for a Golds Gym contest. The 3-Apple-a-Day Plan has a goal of eating an apple before any meal.
If you take a look at the sample meal plan below, you’ll see that the diet is pretty much identical to a bodybuilders diet. Plenty of protein, low-GI carbs, and some good fats – but… they’ve added an apple to each meal and made a new diet book out of it.
This is quite amusing – and marketing at it’s finest. You’ll find that these meal plans are very similar to; The Abs Diet, Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle (BFFM), Body For Life, and more.
The Apple Plan book can be found at Amazon

Final Thoughts
Don’t get me wrong, this is an excellent diet – especially combined with weight training. It’s just amazing to see the same information packaged over and over with slightly different names.
However, this diet looks to be more prescriptive than the others (which works better for some people). And who knows… maybe there is something “magical” with eating 3 apples a day. It never hurt anyone.
So, you’re supposed to eat that same meal plan every day?
Not likely to succeed if no exercise
Hi! I’m 16 years old and in 1st year college. Hmm, I weight 120 pounds but I want to lose some of it because my tummy is big and not that proportion to my body.

The Green Apple Diet is great, eating between 30 and 20 green apple a day (for only 4 days), and you will loose around 1 KG per day. Note that nothing should be taken, only APPLES, even NO water. I used this to quit smoking and it works for boths.

Conscious of the risk that befell Yonk, would it be crass to refer you to comment #5 above?
Does this only work if a person is overweight, or trying to lose a good amount of weight?
I’m almost 18, and my weight fluctuates, but at most I weigh 98 pounds. I’m trying to bring my weight down to 90 lbs. This isn’t unreasonable, because I’m extremely short (I don’t even hit the 5 feet mark). Would an apple diet work for me if I’m also on a low carb diet?
hi to unknown and lola x…i think eating apples 5-10 pcs would probably help u a lot. and stop drinking softdrinks and juices that has high sugar content instead you replace it with an apple juice (fresh – blend it with water but no sugar/milk) and avoid eat salty foods. it would be hard for few days but you’ll be used to it after a week and i’m telling you it will work. Good luck and God Bless!
Mmmhmm. Pretty funny.

Always eat any fruit before an hour or after 2 hour of a meal, if you are eating rice or bread as meal
after reading some very funny comments i soon realize that this requires no account. Truly a trolls paradise. if i don’t masturbate at least 3 times a day, will i not be losing as much weight as i would be if i did the hat trick every day?
hey please can you please help me to lose weight?
you have serious problems…you are probably some lonely, pathetic adult. how could you tell a child that, maybe you want to kill yourself.
ana you will lose the weight, it just takes time
hey im 17 yrs old..hght is 157,wght is 50..goshh need to lose weight around love handles,face,arm,legs,stomach,basically everywhr..is it fine if i just eat 3 apples daily and nothing else?
im nearly 14 and im 117 pounds, but i have lots going on right now so i feels like i have too eat from the stress of everything and when i do i feel full up and disgusting so i make myself sick! i really want too loose weight but i dont want too loose weight by making myself sick, what should i do?
Oops forgot one thing if you like to eat something sweets and water and apples isn’t enough. I recommend grabbing some grapes, bananas, and strawberries. No Calorie intake.
your body takes more energy to digest those foods then the totel calorie intake.
This diet is great
here my advice to all that want to lose weight in their teens don’t rush it and just go apples and water all day. Heres a good idea this is what i did. Wake up in the morning go outside get some air. Grab 1 apple and get a liter of water. For me that filled me up in the morning but if it doesn’t have a little cereal. Don’t worry about what type of milk just enjoy but not too much just a cup. Talk with your body you will know when you are full, hungry, or just fine. THen for lunch just have a usual maybe an apple, water, sandwich, and a lil snack i remember i still ate chips so i only ate a little. For dinner same thing as in the morning grab an apple and a litter of water. If your hungry after that have a little meal. But always just listen to your body don’t overeat just keep saying to yourself i’m going to be stronger and sexier tomorow. 
I had intestinal parasites this summer and was unable to eat enough due to the pain. I am 5 foot 5 and I dropped to 89 pounds. Being this skinny is no fun, I was weak, lost my hair, was cold all the time, and ended up spending most of my vacation in the hospital. Be happy with your weight! Personally I wish I was OVERWEIGHT rather than a shrivled little stick. I don’t have enough energy to do the things I love, so take it from me, don’t sweat a little bit of a round tummy, at least you have enough body fat to have a pair of boobs!
girls low carb is the way to go…
I enjoy how no one really helped this girl with her question, but instead taught her that being immature and bashing other people for petty things is the mature “adult” thing to do. Way to go folks.
In regards to your question, the first response was correct. I suggest sparkpeople.com. It has articles that suggest healthy ways to lose weight in a steady way. If you lose weight in this manner, than you are more likely to keep it off in the long run. You need to learn healthy eating habits now or it will be more difficult to learn them in the future.
Hope this helps.
