3 or 4 Day Diet :

The "3 Day Diet" combines certain foods that create a desired reaction in your digestive system, boosting your metabolism in order to burn fat at a higher rate. The regimen lasts three days and should only be repeated after being off the diet for 2 days. The food selections are highly restrictive. For example:

• Breakfast: coffee (no sugar), 1 egg, half of a banana, and a piece of toast.
• Lunch: a cup of cottage cheese or tuna and 8 regular saltine crackers.
• Dinner: 2 beef franks, a cup of broccoli, half a cup of carrots, half of a banana, and half a cup of regular vanilla ice cream.
