Thread: 3-Day Diet Plan

Have you guys heard about the 3-Dat Diet Plan? This diet plan promises weight loss of 10lbs in just 3 days. Do you know how this works?

I have heard of that from my friends. There actually many varieties of 3-day diet plan. Like for a day you must take water alone. The second day you only eat fruits adn drink fruit juices. And on the third day you only eat vegetables and drink only vegetable juices. I think it's actually hard to follow . I cannot go on for 1 day and have water alone. Only a very persistent person can get through this

Daily requirements of calories, fat, and nutrients of every person are different depending on age, weight, sex, and other factors. Anyone who wants to try this should first talk to their doctor so they know if this diet is the one for them because there maybe health risks. Most of the dieters only take about 700 to 1000 calories a day, and this is too few to maintain a good health. Very low calorie diets carry high risks of side effects, such as gallstones and cardiovascular problems.

I saw this 3 meal diet plan over the net and this is an example of the foods that people eat on a 3 day diet:

Day 1

Breakfast: black tea or coffee, 1/2 a grapefruit, 1 piece of toast with 1 Tablespoon of peanut butter. Some version specify 1/3 of a grapefruit, some call for artificial sweetener to be added to the coffee, some allow grapefruit juice to be substituted for the grapefruit.

Lunch: 1/2 cup tuna, 1 piece dry toast, black coffee or tea. Some versions call for tuna in water, some call for artificial sweetener with the coffee or tea.

Dinner: 3 ounces lean meat, 1 cup green beans, 1 cup carrots, 1 apple, 1 cup vanilla ice cream. Some versions specify a low fat ice cream, other do not. Some versions call for 1 cup of beets instead of carrots.


Day 2

Breakfast: 1 egg, 1 slice dry toast, 1/2 banana, black coffee or tea. Some versions require artificial sweetened in the coffee or tea. It is not generally specified how the dieter should prepare the egg. Some versions call for a whole banana.

Lunch: 1 cup cottage cheese and six crackers. Some versions allow dieters to choose between 1 cup of cottage cheese and 1 cup of tuna. Some require six crackers, some allow eight. Most versions call for Saltine brand crackers.

Dinner: two hot dogs, 1 cup broccoli, 1/2 cup carrots, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream. Some versions specify beef franks. Some call for 1 cup of cabbage instead of 1 cup of broccoli. Some versions require low fat ice cream.


Day 3

Breakfast: one apple, 1 ounce cheddar cheese, five Saltine brand crackers, black tea or coffee. Some versions allow or require artificial sweetener.

Lunch: one hard-boiled egg, one slice dry toast. Some versions allow black coffee or tea (with or without artificial sweetener) with this meal, others do not.

Dinner: 1 cup tuna, 1 cup carrots, 1 cup cauliflower, 1 cup melon, and 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream. Some versions call for 1/2 a cantaloupe instead of 1 cup of melon. Some versions require low fat ice cream.

There are other versions of the above three-day diet, with some specifying even more alternatives for the dieter, including an orange instead of grapefruit, cottage cheese instead of tuna, and various vegetable substitutions. Most versions tell dieters to use lemon, salt and pepper, mustard, vinegar, herbs, soy sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and other seasonings to add flavoring to food during the diet, but nothing containing fat, such as butter. Most versions of the diet are very specific in saying that dieters have to follow the rules exactly to see the promised weight loss.

Thanks for posting the 3 day plan kathy! This is not that bad at all. Anyone can do this and lose weight in 3 days. I'm sure many of our dieters will like this
