The 3 Day Diet
|
|
In truth, a diet called the "Three Day Diet" is nothing more than a very short term loss of bodily fluid. The basics of the diet: don't drink much water and eat around 600 calories a day. Lose up to 10 pounds quickly. In short, and contrary to proponents of this diet, this is starving yourself for 3 or 4 days and is no solution to anything. With this 3 Day Diet, you will more than likely gain the weight back quickly and probably end up adding some additional weight, to boot. |
Having said that, and if you're still curious, here is what this diet is all about -- including it's own "claim to fame".
The Claim
- The 3 Day Diet was developed for people who need to lose large amounts of weight.
- The 3 Day Diet is chemically and enzyme balanced. If the diet is followed exactly, loss of 10 pounds in 3 days is possible.
- The 3 Day Diet consists of ordinary foods found in your kitchen. No special expensive recipes or ingredients are required. No frozen diet meals to buy.
- The 3 Day Diet is to be used for three days at a time. After three days of dieting you may return to your usual meals but, do not overeat. After four days of normal eating you may continue the 3 Day Diet.
- This is not a starvation diet. In fact, you will be eating normal meals at normal times.
