The Three Day Diet Plan

The "Three Day Diet" dates back to 1985 and today can be found all over the World Wide Web and on book shop shelves. Some of the promised benefits of the three day diet and its variants are losing weight quickly, a cleanup of the system, lower cholesterol and increased levels of energy all through a specific metabolic reaction that no version of the diet has ever explained. The diet plan is to be followed for a period of 3 days, with an off period of about 5 days in between the diet cycles. All the versions of this diet share in common specific steps that must be followed and foods that must be eaten in order for the diet to work. What better way to blame the dieter when it doesn't work than you bungled the formula?

Breakfast on the first day begins with coffee (no sugar), one half a grapefruit, and a piece of toast with 1 Tbsp peanut butter. For lunch, you are allowed a can of tuna, a piece of toast, and black coffee. Dinner consists of Three ounces of chicken or lean meat, a cupful of green beans, one cupful of carrots, one apple, and one cupful of regular vanilla ice cream. The other two days of the diet are relatively similar in meal portions, though the specifics change, for example Day Two recommends two beef franks for dinner in place of three ounces of lean meat. The diet claims that weight loss of 10 pounds is doable over the 3 days that the diet lasts.

The thing is, there is no proof for the so-called specific metabolic reaction. The only grounds that this diet would work to help a person lose weight is because of the deficiency of calories in the diet plan. In fact, because the diet plan is so low in carbohydrates a person could drop ten pound in three days. Of course most of that would be water weight because carbohydrates encourage the body to retain water. By the way, losing that much weight from not retaining water is serious as the body requires water to survive.

Once the three days are over the weight will return, mainly because it's mostly water. But also because any weight lost from the deficiency of calories will be regained when the starving diet victim returns to normal, or in this situation heavier than normal, eating. Deprive the body of water over three day cycles enough times and a person could develop kidney damage, dehydration, or a host of other unhealthy conditions.

The Three Day Diet is best treated as nonsense. To say it plainly, forget about the three day diet.
