3 Day Diet

Sometimes, you do not have a lot of time before needing to lose weight. Following a strict 3 day diet can help boost your metabolism and shed weight quickly. These types of strict diets are only for the dedicated and motivated individuals who want to lose weight fast. This highly regimented, low calorie, and very restrictive diet lasts for 3 days before becoming a bit less strict for 4. It is important to power through these tough days in order to achieve results.

While many weight loss diets include a lifestyle overhaul with the weighing of food and the purchasing of expensive supplements, it is easier to comply to a short and straight forward diet. Diets that produce results slowly do not allow you to lose weight for an event that is quickly approaching. A 3 day diet, alternatively, is a quick fix to a common problem.

One of the best parts of a 3 day diet is its simplicity. There is no need to count calories or search for rare foods. Each simple meal is low in calories and provides the best mix of fat, protein, and carbohydrates for quick weight loss. Most meals do not require a lot of cooking.

Day 1

Breakfast- Eat 1/2 grapefruit and 1 slice of wholegrain toast with 2 tablespoons peanut butter. Drink one cup of caffeinated coffee or tea.

Lunch- Eat 1/2 Cup of lean protein such a tuna with 1 slice of toast. Drink one cup of caffeinated coffee or tea.

Dinner- Eat 3 ounces of protein, 1 cup of green vegetables, 1/2 a banana, 1 small apple, and 1 cup of plain vanilla ice cream.

Day 2

Breakfast- Eat one slice of toast with one egg and half of a banana.

Lunch- Eat 1 cup of cottage cheese, one egg, and five small crackers.

Dinner- Eat 2 bun-less hot dogs, one cup of green vegetables, 1/2 cup of carrots, 1/2 of a banana, and one cup of plain vanilla ice cream.

Day 3

Breakfast- Eat 5 small crackers with one slice of cheddar cheese and one small apple.

Lunch- Eat one egg and one slice of toast.

Dinner- Eat 1 cup of protein, half of a banana, and one cup of plain vanilla ice cream.

In addition to these foods, dieters should drink a lot of water. Do not substitute water for diet soda or other flavored beverages. For the next four days following this three day plan, do not eat above 1500 calories.

Hard exercise is not necessary during this diet, due to the low intake of calories, but light workouts will enhance the results of fat loss. If you currently are not very active, begin by walking about half an hour each day to get your heart rate up. Pump your arms a bit to work even harder to get in shape.

If you do currently exercise on a regular basis, you can continue with your exercise schedule, but it is possible to feel slightly weak or tired during the days of the diet. It may be important to rest a bit during this short period of time.

If done correctly, this diet can produce results quickly. For more tips click here.
