3 Apples a Day Diet Review

3 Apples a Day is a book written by Tammie Flynn, a dietician a registered dietitian and Group Training instructor at Gold’s Gym in Washington with over 20 years of experience.

Tammie Flynn came upon the 3 Apples a Day theory when one of her clients who was struggling with a weight loss plateau, managed to restart her weight loss when she began eating an apple before every meal.

As Apples are rich in dietary fiber, they made this woman feel fuller so she didn’t overeat on more fattening items.

Tammie Flynn began to spread the news of this discovery among her clients and many of them are reported to have lost as much as 17 pounds in 12 weeks.
