Shopping List 3 Day Apple Diet
Call it the 3 day apple diet or the 3 apples a day diet and it's roughly the same. The whole idea is that you will eat one medium apple with (and preferable before) each meal.
Given that, you know apples will be on the shopping list!
It doesn't matter what kind of apple (green, red, sweet, tart), as long as it's only medium sized (about 2.75 inches in diameter). The other requirement -- you must eat the skin of the apple. But you are allowed to slice it or chunk it, as long as the skin stays on
Let's take a look at what you will need from the grocery store.
Shopping List for Apple Diet
Here's what you will need for 3 days on this plan; pick up from the grocery store whatever you don't already have in your kitchen:
- 9 medium apples, any kind
- 16 ounces lowfat cottage cheese
- small jar peanut butter (will need 3 tablespoons)
- Celery
- Raw Veggies: can include broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, carrots, summer squash
- Salad greens
- Lowfat (not non-fat) salad dressing
- 16 ounces plain yogurt**
- 1 package part-skim string cheese (will need 2 servings)
- 3 medium chicken breasts
- Two 3-ounce cans of white tuna packed in water
- 2 boxes sugar-free jello, any flavor
- Small bag of long grain brown rice (will need 1/2 cup cooked)
- 1 small loaf of rye -or- whole wheat bread
**If you don't care for plain yogurt, you can substitute an equal amount of lowfat cottage cheese.
A note for the above shopping list for the 3 day apple diet -- do not get lowfat peanut butter, fat-free cottage cheese or fat-free string cheese -- the diet requires the fat they provide. In the same line, don't substitute fat-free salad dressing for the low-fat dressing.
You'll have some leftovers here, especially with the rye bread and brown rice. If you must, you can substitute whole wheat bread for the rye, but do not use white rice in place of the brown.
Enjoy!
