3 day Diet
Ran into an old friend a few days ago and she looked like she lost a LOT of weight. Her secret? The 3-day diet. Below is what i found out when i "googled" the 3-day diet. I personally don't follow it strictly, though i have taken to eating grapefruit for breakfast. We'll see...
"You have to go on the diet for only three days--and then revert to normal, sensible eating for four days, before tackling it again. Dietitians STAR spoke to say they have no idea where the diet originated, but they agree that it's not only faster than the cabbage soup diet that swept the country--it's a lot healthier! The miracle diet works on the chemical break-down of certain foods on the body. It delivers an average of 1,000 calories per day. Remember to follow these guidelines:
1. Consult your doctor before starting the diet.
2. Do not skip meals.
3. Drink four to eight 8 oz. glasses of water daily.
4. Do not add fats when preparing food.
5. This diet should be used for three days--followed by four days of normal eating. You can lose 40 lbs. a month if you stick to it. -- (This part i'm wary about...)
Day 1
Breakfast
Half grapefruit
1 slice toast, 2 tbs. peanut butter
Black coffee or tea
Lunch
Half cup tuna, plain
1 slice toast
Black coffee or tea
Dinner
3 slices of any meat (4-6 oz. before cooking)
1 cup of string beans

Breakfast

Half banana
1 slice toast
Black coffee or tea
