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. You will gain the weight back quickly and probably end up adding some additional weight.

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.
