The 3 Day Diet

The 3 Day Diet Menu is quite simple. Each day, you pick a breakfast, lunch, and dinner from this list. Besides the foods on this list, you can have salt, pepper, vinegar, lemon, herbs, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mustard and ketchup. The 3 day diet menu is designed to give you about 900 calories a day. Please be advised to consult a medical professional before starting this or any other new diet to make sure your body can handle it :)

On the 3 day diet menu, it is very important to eat your grapefruit or drink your grapefruit juice at every meal. Additionally, you must drink at least 32 ounces of water each day.

Coffee or tea (sugar substitute okay)

1/2 Grapefruit or 4 oz. grapefruit juice

Grapefruit has no scientifically based fat reducing properties and does not magically speed up your metabolism. Eaten whole (rather than juiced), Ω of the fruit provides 6 grams of fiber. But then, oranges provide 7 grams of fiber.

The 3 day diet menus do provide a healthy, balanced meal plan, but it has only about 900 calories. So, will you lose weight if you stick to the diet? Yes. You will probably lose between 3 and 6 pounds. Some people claim to have lost 10 pounds.

This can be a real turn on for people who need to lose a dress size in a short amount of time, particularly if a big event is looming. But, the 3 day diet menu does not provide a lasting solution to weight loss.
