3 Day Diet..

[Laura]

I thought i'd share my 3 Day Diet with you girls! I was given this by a friend who found it on the net. Supposedly it was released by the Irish Heart Foundation 15 years ago & everybody raved about it then. So curious Laura had to try it out. Anything that says you can lose 10lbs in 3 days has to be worth doing, right?

This Diet must be followed exactly to lose 10lbs in 3 days.

This diet works on a chemical breakdown and is proven. Do not vary or subsitute any of the above foods. Salt and pepper must not be used and no other seasonings. When no quantity is given there are no restrictions other than common sense. This diet is to be used for 3 days at a time. In 3 days you will lose 10lbs after 3 days of dieting you can eat normally but do not over do it. You can lose up to 40lbs in one month if you stick to it. Toast to be dry no butter or margarine.

I didnt lost 10lbs but i did lose 3lbs & felt way less bloated than i usually do. I hated the 3 days though only because i hate Tuna, Peanut Butter & Beetroot. If any of you like those foods then it should be easy for you.

Let me know if anyone tries it & what the results are like!

umm,maybe its me but wouldnt it be very unhealthy to lose that much weight in three days?ive heard when you lose weight like that you wind up gaining it back and then some.

 

[Liz]

hmmm. have you used this diet before laur?

 

[redrocks]

I'd be really leary about that diet. It does not sound all that healthy in my opinion.

Besides, if I that little amount of food, I think I might pass out.

 

[girl_geek]

I always thought if you loose weight that quickly it's just water weight that will come right back ... plus, I agree with redrocks, I *know* I would feel faint eating so little food! I eat breakfast at 6 am and always have to have a mid-morning snack so I don't pass out by lunch!

Also how can they guarantee you'll lose 10 lbs? Everyone has different metabolisms and different activity levels, you can't guarantee a weight loss like that without some individual calculations, I would think ...

 

[nydoll23]

sounds like dying

 

[Laura]

I dont think that diet is the best diet out there girls but you wont go hungry on it.. Plus my mom said after that only people that have a large amount of weight to lose would lose 10lbs..

I don't even like hotdogs for lunch; there's no way my stomach could handle that in the morning ... looking more closely at the other meals this definitely a weird diet ...

 

[Laura]

Sorry i forgot to edit the format after i posted that. I copied it from work and sometimes that gets messed up. The 2 hotdogs is for tea on day 2 and they are only 100 cals each AFAIK.

Oh and Cottage cheese is the least fattening cheese out there as far as i know girl_geek. Having that for lunch is recommended in Ireland so you get your calcium, dairy and its not high in fat!

 

[sportygirl]

ugh i'm sorry but that diet sounds awful! If I drank all of that coffee i would shake...and my teeth would turn yellow, lol!

 

[Laura]

To be honest it wasn't too bad but i wouldnt be in a hurry to try it again. I'd prefer just to eat ALL fruit & veg for 3 days instead! I drink coffee anyway so i didnt mind that part. Although i usually drink it with milk & that wasnt allowed

That's good to know ... dairy products are one thing that I will go ahead and eat even though some of them are fattening just to get the calcium, since I have a lot of risk factors for osteoporosis! (When I was younger my mom let me have ice cream every night for dessert just for the calcium! lol) Of course I'm not that worried about fat and calories at the moment since I have such a high metabolism, but I still try not to eat a ton of fat and fried foods and such since that's not healthy for anyone

I agree! I like to eat!

 

[eightthirty]

Though I'm tempted to try anything these days (e.g. TrimSpa BABY

) . . .

What I hear and believe to be true is the slower (moderate) the loss, the more permanent. You should only attempt to lose 1-2 lbs per week.

This diet does work. My brother-in-law has lost 108 lbs. doing this diet, along with exercise and has kept off the weight for over 2 years. Just be sure to watch the cholesterol levels. I started it three days ago and am down to 137 lbs. I have 12 more lbs. to lose AND WILL KEEP THE EXTRA WEIGHT OFF!

My mom's doc put her on a similiar diet she's gone from 235 to 190 in 3 1/2 months. It's basically a starter diet to help you eat 3 meals a day in moderation but of course she started exercising. Now, she's joined Weight Watchers for the social interaction support.

 

[kaylagirl]

hey there~

I was talking to my trainer at the gym, and he said that the healthy amount to lose is around 2-3lbs a week, and about 10-12lbs a month- by eating healthy and regular exercise.. As much as regular exercise can be a pain, all in all I feel better after the month is over knowing that I lost weight and gained muscle tone and a healthy eating habit...

I've always heard 1-2 lbs a week is healthy, but if you are really overweight you can safely lose a few more pounds a week, at least at the beginning!
