Three Day Diet Plan

The Three Day Diet plan came about in 1985 and has surpassed the test of time. It is considered a fad diet, however people still use it to this day. The premise of the three day diet is to eat a specific diet for three days exactly and then eat normal for five days before resuming the three days of strict eating. The diet plan claims to have a outcome of fast weight loss, lower cholesterol, a cleansing effect and higher energy. The weight loss is said to be of up to 10 pounds in three days but that is most likely not fat, instead fluid loss.

The three day diet has no mention of exercise at all to go along with the eating, however what to eat and how much to eat are very specific and must be followed exactly. Even if you are not hungry you are to eat exactly how much it tells you too and overeating is not allowed or the weight loss they claim you can lose will not happen.

The meal plan consists of three days of specific foods and amounts as follows:

Day one is a breakfast of black coffee or tea with one to two packets of artificial sweetener such as sweet and low or equal, one half of a grapefruit or juice, and one piece of toast with one tablespoon of peanut butter. Lunch consists of one half cup of tuna, one piece of toast, and black coffee or tea with artificial sweetener. For dinner you will have three ounces of any type of lean meat or chicken, one cup of green beans, one cup of carrots, one apple and one cup of regular vanilla ice cream.

Day two is a breakfast of black coffee or tea with artificial sweetener, one egg, one half of a banana, and one piece of toast. Lunch consists of one cup of cottage cheese or tuna and eight regular saltine crackers. For dinner you will have two beef franks, one cup of broccoli or cabbage, one half cup of carrots, one half of a banana, one half cup of regular vanilla ice cream.

Day three is a breakfast of black coffee or tea with artificial sweetener, five regular saltine crackers, one ounce of cheddar cheese, and one apple. Lunch consists of black coffee or tea with artificial sweetener, one boiled egg and one piece of toast. For dinner you will have one cup of tuna, one cup of carrots, one cup of cauliflower, one cup of melon, and one half cup of regular vanilla ice cream.

Along with the tight food availability for the three days you also drink four cups of water or drinks without calories.

Experts are not too keen on this diet. They say that the diet leaves you hungry during the three days you follow it and then you go back to your old eating habits for five days which doesn't do anything but have people overindulge those five days. The diet is only 1000 calories per day so the weight loss isn't based on the foods you are eating but on lower caloric intake.

If you really want to lose weight quickly and in a healthy way it is recommended that you follow the Hoodia Diet plan. Hoodia is a plant that grows in the African desert and is well known for its anti-oxidant properties and is also well known for its ability to accelerate the metabolic rate. By taking Hoodia in supplement form it unleashes the full metabolic potential of your body and makes you burn calories fast. You can try Hoodia at Hoodia Diet Plan [hoodiadietplan.org].
