3 Day Diet
The 3 Day Diet is one of the most popular short-term weight loss “programs” around today. As the name suggests, the 3 Day Diet is to be followed exactly for 3 days at a time, followed by four or five days of normal diet before resuming again. The purpose of returning to your usual eating style before resuming again is to keep your metabolism from slowing and reverting to fat-storing, starvation mode. The expected results are quick weight loss, cleansing, lower cholesterol, and increased energy. Exercise or physical activity is not mentioned or recommended in the 3 Day Diet plan.
On Day 1 of the 3 Day Diet, have black coffee or tea, grapefruit or juice and 1 piece toast with 1 tablespoon peanut butter for breakfast. Limit yourself to 1 piece toast, a slice of tuna, and black coffee or tea for lunch. You can have three ounces of any lean meat or chicken, 1 cup green beans, 1 cup carrots, 1 apple and 1 cup regular vanilla ice cream for dinner.
On Day 2 of the 3 Day Diet, have black coffee or tea, an egg, one-half piece of banana and 1 piece toast for breakfast. Stick to 1 cup cottage cheese or tuna and 8 regular saltine crackers for lunch. For dinner have 2 beef franks, 1 cup broccoli or cabbage, 1/2 cup carrots, 1/2 banana, and 1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream.
On Day 3, which is the last day of your 3 day diet, black coffee or tea, 5 regular saltine crackers, 1 ounce cheddar cheese and 1 apple are recommended for breakfast. For lunch have black coffee or tea, one boiled egg and 1 piece toast. And limit yourself to 1 cup tuna, 1 cup carrots, 1 cup cauliflower, 1 cup melon and 1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream for dinner.
In addition to its strict daily food prescription, the 3 Day Diet recommends four cups of water or non-caloric drinks daily.
