Losing Weight with the 3-Day Diet
from:If you really want to lose weight fast, and don't mind feeling
famished, consider the 3-Day Diet - desperate times call for
desperate measures. Here are the steps needed to make the 3-Day
Diet a success: 1. Stock up on coffee, water, grapefruit,
saltines and lean protein like tuna or chicken 2. Remove all
enticing foods from your kitchen. Enlist the support of your
significant other 3. Weigh yourself the morning you begin your
diet, and follow the plan precisely. Make sure you exercise as
well, as this will enhance weight loss.
The 3-Day Diet was actually a craze, dating back to 1985, which
has amazingly endured the test of time. The diet is often
erroneously called the Cleveland Clinic Diet, and it is a
strictly controlled plan that must be done for three days at a
time, followed by regular eating for four or five days before
opting to recommence the plan. One of the drawbacks is that the
guaranteed weight loss (up to 10 pounds) is likely due to fluid
loss and not the more desirable fat loss.
Here is the 3-Day Diet meal plan:
Day 1
Breakfast Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or
Equal 1/2 grapefruit or juice 1 piece toast with 1 tablespoon
peanut butter
Lunch 1/2 cup tuna 1 piece toast Black coffee or tea, with 1-2
packets Sweet & Low or Equal
Dinner 3 ounces any lean meat or chicken 1 cup green beans 1 cup
carrots 1 apple 1 cup regular vanilla ice cream
Day 2
Breakfast Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or
Equal 1 egg 1/2 banana 1 piece toast
Lunch 1 cup cottage cheese or tuna 8 regular saltine crackers
Dinner 2 beef franks 1 cup broccoli or cabbage 1/2 cup carrots
1/2 banana 1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream
Day 3
Breakfast Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or
Equal 5 regular saltine crackers 1 ounce cheddar cheese 1 apple
Lunch Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal
1 boiled egg 1 piece toast
Dinner 1 cup tuna 1 cup carrots 1 cup cauliflower 1 cup melon
1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream
In addition to its strict daily food prescription, dieters drink
4 cups of water or noncaloric drinks daily.
Although the 3-Day Diet has a bad reputation as a "fad" diet, we
can see that these meals are actually balanced. Unlike other
diets, which encourage you to limit your intake of carbohydrates
and protein, the 3-Day Diet ensures that you get all the
nutrients your body needs for the day. Most people's everyday
eating habits do not match the completeness of this diet.
In spite of this, the best way to lose weight is the old,
traditional way, although it takes a little longer. Eat lots of
green, leafy vegetables, and also fruits in moderation, cut out
processed and fatty foods, don't snack between meals, and
exercise regularly. You can go jogging or bike riding, or even
swimming. Within a few months, you will find that you are
slimmer, and a lot healthier than if you had depended solely on
the 3-Day Diet.
