So much has been talked about a 3 day diet. Is it really effective? Does one really shed those extra pounds in 3 days? Is it a safe method to lose weight? Won’t those extra pounds get back to the body once you discontinue the program? The 3 day diet boasts of a quick weight loss program. It does not emphasize on a safe weight loss. It is like any other fad dieting program. Drink at least 4 glasses of water daily. In case you do not like the bland taste of water, opt for diet drinks. There are no restrictions on sale, lemon, herbs, soy sauce or mustard.
Day 1
Breakfast includes either tea or coffee with any sugar substitute. A piece of toast (dry one). You could top it up with some peanut butter. Lunch comprises of half a cup tuna and one piece of toast (dry) along with some tea and coffee. For dinner you could have some lean mean and a cup of beans (green). You can also have an apple and a desert which normally would be a cup of any ice cream of your choice. It is advised to avoid chocolate ice creams. Go in for vanilla ice creams. Day 2 and Day 3 follow the same routine by making slight changes in the fruits. You could opt for bananas instead of apples.
Some of the disadvantages in this diet program are as follows:
It is very difficult to eat peanut butter early in the morning. The dieter is provided only 500 calories a day. This means that he or she is basically starving the whole day. The metabolic activity slows down and the body feels that there is a crisis. It is not provided the necessary nutrients required for its functioning. Day 2 talks of eating eggs and bananas. The dieter would have tremendous gas problems because both eggs and bananas have lot of gas in them. Just imagine if peanut butter was also to be included along with these. It would be like a gas leak Lunch is cottage cheese and tuna. Fish and dairy products do not gel well and your stomach would have a problem. It is advised that one opts for greens like lettuce, celery, some sprouts. You could top this with some chips. This would feel as if you have eaten a healthy lunch.
Day 2 :
Dinner comprises of franks. This means that your tummy would be filled with tremendous gas. The body is in a state of confusion. It does not get the daily nutrients required. It is stressed and does not know how to react.
Day 3 :
It is definitely better. Apples are very good substitutes for caffeine. But apples are also gassy. We also have eggs for lunch. That means there is more gas to it. Cheese would help in reducing the effects of gas but it is nullified since we have some dry toast for dinner. On Day 3 the body gets very less calories. The dieter would have been so exhausted that he would eat anything that comes in his way. What we can conclude for this is that the 3 day diet is not a very healthy diet and it has resulted in many health problems.
