3 Day Diet :
Mar 28, 2007
The 3 Day Diet is one of the most popular short-term fad diets around today. Many people adopt the diet to try and achieve short-term weight loss. However, unfortunately most people simply gain the weight back on again. The 3 Day Diet is simply a low calorie diet (as can be seen by the meal plan). There is nothing magical - no mystical chemical reaction that goes on (as some seem to think). Weight loss is due to a sudden drop in calories - some of this may be fat - but most will be from water loss. 3 Day Diet Meal Plan This diet is not recommended and should never be used for more than 3 days. This kind of diet is often used by those who experience "yo-yo" weight - it is not a good habit to get into. | DAY 1 | | Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner | Black coffee or tea (Sweet & Low or Equal) or water
