3 Day Diet
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 1/2 Grapefruit or Juice 1 slice toast with 1 Tbsp. Peanut Butter |
1/2 Cup of Tuna 1 slice toast Black coffee or tea (Sweet & Low or Equal) or water |
3 oz. any lean meat 1 cup green beans 1 cup carrots 1 cup vanilla ice cream 1 medium apple Black coffee or tea (Sweet & Low or Equal) or water |
| DAY 2 | ||
| Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner |
| Black coffee or tea (Sweet & Low or Equal) or water 1 egg (any style) 1 slice toast 1 banana |
1 cup cottage cheese or tuna 5 saltine crackers Black coffee or tea (Sweet & Low or Equal) or water |
2 beef franks or hot dogs 1/2 cup carrots 1 banana 1 cup broccoli or cabbage 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream Black coffee or tea (Sweet & Low or Equal) or water |
| DAY 3 | ||
| Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner |
| Black coffee or tea (Sweet & Low or Equal) or water 5 regular saltine crackers 1 oz.(slice) cheddar cheese 1 apple |
1 hard boiled egg 1 slice toast Black coffee or tea (Sweet & Low or Equal) or water |
1 cup tuna 1 cup carrots 1 cup cauliflower 1 cup melon 1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream Black coffee or tea (Sweet & Low or Equal) or water |
Condiments Allowed
- Lemon (and lots of it, if you like)
- a dash of salt and/or pepper
- mustard
- cooking spray
Substitutions
Some people use the following substitutions for the 3 day diet:
- Orange instead of Grapefruit
- Tuna instead of Cottage cheese (and vice versa)
- Frozen yogurt instead of Ice Cream
- Cauliflower instead of Broccoli (and vice versa)
- Green beans instead of Broccoli or Cauliflower
- Beets instead of Carrots
- Toast instead of 5 crackers (vice versa)

I did this for awhile not too long back, i lost 14 pounds in a week i thought it was excellent but you put the weight back onso quickk
April 7th, 2008
im on the 1st day of this diet..i hope it works!!
April 7th, 2008
i am a size 16 and 18 yrs old. does this really work? how much would u loose being realistic?
April 7th, 2008
when you got off the diet did you gain the weight back from not watching youself?
April 8th, 2008
does this really work
April 8th, 2008
Hello all of you trying to lose weight. I have tried this diet before. If you want to keep the weight off after the 3- day diet, you must stay on a low calorie, low fat diet. When I did the diet I weighed 190 lbs. and when I stopped I weighed 175 lbs. Although the diet says you can lose up to 10 lbs it does not mean you necessarily will. Weight loss depends on the individual, but you can lose weight and fast. The peole who have done this diet and put the weight back on are those who went came off the diet and went back to eating unhealthy. When coming off the 3 day diet if you want to keep the weight off you still must diet in order to keep the weight off and as an added bonus by dieting you’ll continue to lose weight.
April 8th, 2008
Its obviously a waste of time for anyone to do it because its a known fact that if you loose it fast you gain it fast and trying to loose it again would be even harder (2x’s longer) due to how the human body is made up!
April 8th, 2008
i’ve done this so many times, and it works but if your a size sixteen it probably will cause alot of headaches and cravings, i woulnd’t reommend it. This is perfect when your going out on friday to get rid of that tiny roll hanging over those jeans, that you bought that don’t actually fit you!
April 8th, 2008
Yes!! this diet does work, i lost 6 lbs the first 3 days and the week after another 5 lbs. You must eat a fairly healthy diet on the days inbetween to ensure you dont put the weight back on.
April 9th, 2008
today i whent walking and i burn 1000 callories in a 30 min walk i dont know how but i did!!!!!!!!!! by the way my mom wont let me do this 3 day diet thing she said the 3 day diet is not not healthy because thats to much weight to be lost in 3 days and its not healthy but i love this 3 day diet to bad i cant do it because my mom said i cant and she putting me on a 11 day diet wich looses like 6 pounds in 11 days i dont like that i want the 3 day diet!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 9th, 2008
This diet does work, I’ve lost a minimum of 10 lbs the first week every time I tried it. The only problem is that you will feel like you’re starving by the end of the three days. It’s a lot of food, but your body burns the calories really fast. If you are really determined and can eat healthy for the other four days of the week you’ll do well. My roommate in college couldn’t and she gained back everything she lost within a week or two because she started binge eating. I like this diet because it’s very structured, and I don’t have to count calories. After you use it a couple weeks the weight doesn’t come off as easily. I found that doing it for a couple weeks, then taking a couple weeks off before starting it again had the best results for me. I lost like 35 lbs. After having two babies I’m ready to give it another go.
April 9th, 2008
started the diet today, feel really hungry but will keep doing it as i know it won’t work unless i follow the exact foods. wish me luck.
April 9th, 2008
I really want to lose the extra tummy and leg fat.. im not big im only 118 but id like to be 108.. does it work if your already a smaller size?
April 9th, 2008
This diet helped me lose weight before i left for basic training. i love this diets results just not the menu.
April 10th, 2008
i wanna do it as well but i am afraid i will starve! ideally we all know this is not healthy. weight watchers is the most realistic diet out there. sure i-2 pounds a week but you are more pron to keeping it off. 10 pounds in 3 days is just a short term fix we all know
April 10th, 2008
hi,
im 18 yrs old and im like a pear! im a size 16 for bottom and a size 12 at the top, small bust size and about 5.1
i want to go oin this diet, but my mum said the cabbage stinks and you put the weight back on fast.
please help me……
April 10th, 2008
does it give you bad gas?
April 10th, 2008
This is a terrible alternative for a real diet! It’s pretty much not eating anything for 3 days and getting no nutritional value in any of the foods. This is really bad for your body. It is better to just go to the gym and exercise. Go to a nutritionist. This diet is just fasting for 3 days to burn weight that your body will just gain right back.
April 10th, 2008
does this really work? do u loose only water weight. i want to loose weigth but fat! if u do loose the weight can u tell?
April 10th, 2008
This is my 2nd day of the diet :). I haven’t lost any weight yet, and I’ve been excersizing. Hopefully it will work
April 10th, 2008
I did this diet a while back and lost 9lbs. Really hard but makes you realise you dont need to eat as much as usual!! Plus found myself looking forward to silly things like the cheese!! im ready to try again!!
April 10th, 2008
This diet can work for you as long as you stay within a healthy calorie intake on your days off. Make sure every calorie counts, since a cookie can be 100 cals and 2.5 grams of fat and a cup of carrots is 52 cals and .3 grams of fat why wouldn’t you go for the carrots- they will fill you up for longer and give you more energy. I always lose aprox 6-10 lbs when I do this diet but again you must eat well ALL the time to keep it off. It’s a good jump start to losing weight and don’t forget to exercise. Good luck. Oh and do stick to the plan exactly!
April 13th, 2008
do you have to eat everything in the diet?
like can you actually eat less?
April 13th, 2008
this diet is awful, think about it. every day you are only getting 500 calories, when your body needs at lest 1200 calories. If yoou fallowed this diet plan all you should really be doiing is sitting on the couch, or sleepiing, anorexic people eat more then 500 calories a day.
April 13th, 2008
im going crazy on this diet! could chew my own leg off!!
April 14th, 2008
i have strated this diet today, since hitting 30 a couple of yrs ago i seem to have put the weight on, i never had problems in the past could eat anything and not gain a pound, so thought i would give myself a kick start and try this 3 day diet, i will let you know how i get on !
April 14th, 2008
this diet has lost me 3lb ever time i have done it
April 14th, 2008
I have tried the three day diet many times and…..it DOES work. But..use your head…if you go back to eating the wrong kinds of food,it will come back as fast as you lost it.Today,I have started it again….but what I do is this…..Three days of the 3 Day Diet,then use the Weight Watchers Diet. With Weight Watcher’s,you can eat ANYTHING,taking away your cravings…just count your points.Then,after 4 days of Weight Watcher’s…go back to the Three Day Diet. You just tell yourself”I can do it!!!!!!!!” and think how pleased you will be when you look into the mirror.Good Luck my friends!!!!!!!
April 14th, 2008
This diet does not give you the freedom to drink a healthy amount of liquid(water), i presume that is where most of the weight loss is held. Due to this, that is why so many people have put the weight back on so suddenly.
April 14th, 2008
I HAVE NOTICED THAT I SEE DIFFERENT ITEMS IN DIFFERENT MENU OF THE 3 DAY DIET….CAN I EAT CARROTS INSTEAD OF BEETS? (BEETS ARE GROSS)
April 15th, 2008
I thought that the 3-Day Diet was only designed for people who had alot of weight to lose prior to surgery? I hear that sticking to this diet that a person is supposed to take off around 40lbs of solid fat within one month?
April 15th, 2008
I have now finished day 2 of this diet, i have found the hunger pangs kick in about 2 or 3 o’clock, so i have had to drink a large glass of water or blk coffee which takes it off till dinner time, i will not be jumping on the scales until the morning of day 4 thou, i will let you know if i have lost any pounds, just 1 day to go yipeee, then onto healthy eatting for the other 4 days.
April 16th, 2008
i could not resist hopping on the scales this morning, i have lost 3 lbs yipee, i am half way though day 3 now, and it has got easier, day 1 i found hard, that cos i love my food lol, i will try the scales again in the morning and see if any more weight has dropped off.
April 16th, 2008
I have done this diet before leaving on vacation and enjoyed the results. This diet is base on a chemical breakdown. I lost 40 pounds in 1 month. you stand correct in saying the menu is not all that however who cares I was able to fit into a size 11. I was a size 18 yikes!I will be starting up next week anuyone intersted in starting with me??
April 16th, 2008
im 10 years old and i am 93.8 lb my gym teacher says i have to lose some pounds i think shes crazy , but does this diet work.
April 16th, 2008
I did this diet a year ago before prom and it sure worked! I lost 6-7 pounds the first three days, which was the week before prom. It’s a neat lil quick fix to look better in my prom dress! I started this diet again; today is the third day, but I didn’t lose as much weight. It’s a good jump start to eating better though : )
April 17th, 2008
At 53 years old nothing has worked like the 3 day diet. I lost 6lbs. the first round and 4 more the next. If you eat sensibly in between and take a week or so off you can drop a few more every time!
April 17th, 2008

I havent done this myself.. BUT! I did give it to my sister.. she went thru with it for 3 days she lost the 10 lbs and as the weeks went on she kept losing the weight. She now is 55 lbs thinner. So YES!!! This diet works.. It curves your hunger.. and slowly you loose the weight. After seeing the results on my sister I will try it..
April 24th, 2008
I am going to star the 3-day diet on next week. I would just like to loose at least 20 to 30 pounds. I heard that this diet was excellent. I hope i can keep up the good work like you did.

this diet is not going to work
April 27th, 2008
To Scard: Ok first of all I am devastated that your gym teacher told you to lose weight! You should report him/her to the principal. You do not want to get into the habit of being on a diet at your age. You can be beautiful at any size. Live your life and have fun! Don’t worry about your weight or what some ignorant teacher said to you!
April 27th, 2008
Okay so i am on my first day and i just had breakfast. I dont get why they have ice cream in there though. So I am gonna ask my mom to take me to the store to get vanilla ice cream and those saltine crackers and some more tuna and or cottage cheese. the cool thing is i like everything on here. And i really want to lose weight! I am only 13 and my whole WORLD revolves around my weight! but how many days do you take off inbetween please answer! i want to wear a bikini for he summer. wish me luck!
April 28th, 2008
Is this diet good for long term, health wise? I dont want to do anything stupid
April 28th, 2008
hi looking at all your msgs on here i guest the diet really works if any one on here is a size 28 and 26 stones and i have done the diet please let me know and how much do u think i could lose before august someone msg me back on here by putting my name athe beginning thanks it would be help full for any information xx
April 28th, 2008
For me, the 3-day diet is working. I have lost 7 pounds in 3 days. It makes me conscious of all the extra calories that I put into my mouth….like tasting food when preparing it and the in between snacking. It all adds up. Of course on the off days, you would want to continue to eat healthy and exercise, that is common sense. Fad diet or not, it still makes you aware of everything including recognizing when you stomach is full. I will continue with this.
April 28th, 2008
I almost died from this diet, and am still very sick two weeks later. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!! DO NOT DO THIS DIET! DO NOT DO THIS DIET!
You will take the weight off then put twice as much back on because you starved your body. So it holds on to everything you eat because your body is afraid you will starve it again.
I still feel so terrible!
April 28th, 2008
I lost 13 pounds in 3 days, and put it all back on plus more in 3 weeks.
April 28th, 2008
this diet is perfect for the pounds put on in the winter. i do not think it should be used by serious dieters. lifestyle change is the big key for them. just helps to make your clothes fit a little better.
April 28th, 2008
I did this diet when I was a freshman in college. It works. You will be hungry, but your mind is stronger than your hunger. Keep the goal in mind. 10 lbs. can take up to 4 pounds of off your knees. I am going to try it again next week before I go on a cruise. I might be setting myself up for failure after I get on the boat!
April 28th, 2008
I have the perfect diet eat less and move more
April 28th, 2008
When dose the diet really start to work? like have lost a pound in the first day but dose the weight start coming off in the last 2 days?? please answer i realy need someone to answer cuz i dont have anytime to waste!
April 28th, 2008
I finished the 1st day of the diet today with no problems at all. It seemed like allot of food. I have felt good and had plenty of energy. I’m not going to weight until I’ve done the full 3 days. Will post again tomorrow night and let you know how day 2 goes!
April 29th, 2008
This is a good diet but it is a quick fix to help you get your weight down for a special occassion. It’s not recommended for more than 3 days and it’s not good to eat less (because then your body goes in to starvation mode and you actually will retain weight as your body thinks there’s a famine coming).
The best way to follow this diet up is to carry on with a healthy eating plan and get moving!!!
April 29th, 2008
Im on day 2 of the diet..i hopped on the scale yesterday and already lost 3lbs. This was only day one so I’m excited to see how much ill weigh by the end of today. My mom does 90-120 minutes of cardio while on the diet as well. Im not sure how she does it being that without exercise, im starving. Try Aquafina’s new ALIVE water. I drink energize..it helps keep me moving. Would subway with water and yogurt for the 4 days be a good idea? It’s strange the 3-day diet i have taped to my fridge slightly differs from the one here. This one says u can eat a whole banana. Ive been eating only half.
April 29th, 2008
okay so i dont know how much i lost the first day hut i weighted myself after the 2nd and i lost 1.5 pounds since the first day. I dont get how everyine is llike “oh you are just losing water weight!” when i am drinking all the water i was plus more like 5 bottles a day!
April 29th, 2008
I have cheated, I ate some beans, 3 pockey sticks (the chocolate covered bred things from japan or where ever) and 3 spoon fulls of frozen yogurt. hope it wok effet the scale toomuch..
April 29th, 2008
I know someone who has been on this diet for a year. He started in April of ‘07. 3 days on and 4 days off. The key is walking, water, and eating healthy on the four days. Of course, if you go out and pig out on the 4 days off, then naturally you are going to gain it back. My friend has lost over 200 lbs, believe it or not. When he started he weighed close to if not over 400 lbs. He now weighs in below 200 lbs. He has walked and drank plenty of water and has been faithful to the 3 on and 4 off plan. It’s true. I’ve seen the change right before my eyes. Every time I see him at church, I’m amazed. Also, the most amazing thing is that he has no sagging fat, no tummy tuck. He said, “As long as I keep losing body fat and slimming up, I’m going to keep doing this.” He made a believer out of me and now my friends and I are going to take a leap of faith and try this out.
April 29th, 2008
I intend to use fresh tuna since i can’t stomach canned. will it hurt to use other condiments? I intend touse calorie free condiments
April 30th, 2008
I did this diet years ago and lost about 20 pounds, in about 3 weeks. I’m sure I would have lost more but I didn’t eat all the food on the menu. Now, I have just finished dinner on my second day (ate everything on the menu this time) and I feel full. The diet I have says to drink a lot of water and diet drinks. What has helped me in between meals is the water, helps curb your appetite. I haven’t felt weak or starved so I would think there are enough nutrients in what’s on the menu.
April 30th, 2008
do beets cauliflower brocoli and all those vegteabels have to be cooked or fresh???
April 30th, 2008
This was the first day of the diet. Tea filled me up a lot, so i wasn’t feeling hungry. Dinner was what i looked foward to.
DAY 1-COMPLETE (:
May 1st, 2008
Okay so Im on day 2 of the diet and Ive been running or walking 3 miles every night before dinner. Basically I am a quick satisfation type of eater, I eat what I want when I want it, faves like ramen or ice cream so this was a pretty big challenge for me. Although I am 5′4” and only 120 lbs, I just wanted to see what I could lose and the results on the look of my body in a bikini. 1st day I was really hungry, it made me think of all the food I wanted to eat, and made me look forward to things in the diet like cheese, c’mon cheese hahah. I skipped out the ice cream and ate more fruit instead. I also am taking a womans multivitamin each day because I know that the diet has very little nutritional value. I havent started day 2 breakfast yet and I just weighed myself with a loss of 2 lbs for the first day! I was skeptical, but thats awesome!!! Love it.
May 1st, 2008
Are you allowed to eat anything in between meals? Like snacks such as fruits? Or do you just eat the three meals a day exactly as instructed?????
May 2nd, 2008
my family and i have all been on the 3 day diet & it really does work but is very hard to stick to. my sis & i r the only ones stickin to it we’v lost bout 20lbs each in like 2 weeks which is great and i havent done it this week but my weight seems to have stayed about the same however i wouldn’t recommend that u stuff urself becaouse otherwise it was just a waste of time. good luck every1 update u next week which will be my week 3, goodbye flab!!!! lol xxx
May 2nd, 2008
I am trying to lose at least 25 pounds I have been exercising and changing my eating habits and next week I am going to try the 3 day diet wish me luck.
May 2nd, 2008
this is the worst diet anyone can ever try! all you lose is water weight! you gain it back up in the long run.. or after a few days!!!
May 2nd, 2008
I HATE THIS DIET. YEA, YOU LOSE WEIGHT…BUT YOU SUFFER WHILE DOING IT.
May 2nd, 2008
Alright im starting tomm 1 month 3 day diet followed by 4 days ww best of luck to all
May 3rd, 2008
I think this diet could work, if fact after three days you could simply replace the tuna with samon or trout. Even Anchovies would work. Seafood is always going to be healthier option.
May 3rd, 2008
I started the 3 day diet 3 wks ago now, i did it for 2 weeks and have had a break for a week, i will be back on it again this monday to wednesday, i have maintained my weight, i have lost approx 4lbs not loads i know but i have not put any back on even with a weeks break.

Lost 2 lb’s the first day. And none the next 2 days. Ran 3 miles every night too. Starved. Starved. Starved. My mom lost a total of 4 lbs. Feeling okay about it. Wished for better results. Take vitamins and drink lost of water while doing this. I would also sub fruit for the ice cream at dinner. Good luck.
May 3rd, 2008

May 4th, 2008
Yes!! this diet does work!! If you are serious enough you will stick to it, be careful though, what you eat on your days off.
Everytime I do this diet I loose 4/6Ibs,then sensibly eat for the 4days. Your body gets used to it too, and eating fruit and veg can’t be such a bad thing. Better than those daft milk shakes ehh!
May 4th, 2008
Ok… I am starting tomorrow. Summer is fast approaching and I need to get my baby weight off. I have a 3 1/2 month old baby and the weight is not coming off. Is this Diet ok to do while I am breastfeeding??? My husband thinks I am crazy and it will not work. I am going to prove him wrong. If I eat health on the days I am not on the diet then it will be all good..
Wish me luck…
May 5th, 2008
day 2 no problems the dinner somehow feels like a feast at the end of the day down 5 pounds already WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 5th, 2008

May 5th, 2008

May 5th, 2008
and no zoe you cant eat anything in between meals.otherwise that kills the whole diet.if u feel hungry during the day drink some water or tea or black coffee with splenda to tame the hunger
May 6th, 2008
This is my 2nd day and i have been doing okay i ate an apple yesterday in between breakfast and lunch. i don’t see why it would be a problem to have snacks in between as long as it’s fruit. i excercise while i’m on it to. tommorow is my last day i’ll update and let u guys know how much i lost! wish me luck.
May 6th, 2008
People, if you want the best results you have to follow the diet strictly. No replacement of fruits/vegetables and no snacking between meals. If you replace foods and/or have snacks between meals you will lose less weight.
May 6th, 2008
HERE ARE THE ANSWERS
U CAN NOT EAT ANYTHING EXCEPT WHT IS LISTED WHEN IT IS LISTED…..

BEGINNING WEIGHT 245
END WEIGHT AFTER 3 DAYS 235
I have to say it wasn’t so bad so I gifted my 1st day off the diet as a cheat day but watching the points. okay will post again before starting the day diet on sat
May 6th, 2008
no ur not allowed to eat anything in between meals.. that would just kill the whole diet plan.
May 7th, 2008
I’ve been doing the diet off and on for a year. I have not gained any of my weight back!
May 7th, 2008
Hey everyone, I have just started the diet today, I actually don’t feel hungry or anything, I just drink lots of water which helps me feel full between meals, this is the first time I have tried this, I weigh 205 and am 25yrs old really want to loose alot of weight. Hoping this will work, Wish me luck, i’ll keep everyone posted to see if i lose any.
May 8th, 2008
I started the diet on just Wed…I feel pretty good..but I wen tup 2 lbs..not sure why..um gonna keep trying though..
May 8th, 2008
im on this diet today. ive done it many times and my friends have to and my sisters. it works u just cant go back to eating normally. just keep eating theyre breakfasts they r very healthy and for toast eat whole wheat bread. thats the best. and just dont go back to eating like normal. i think this really teaches u portion control and i think us houdlnt excersize much ont his diet cuz its dandgerous. cuz u lose all the nutrition u ate that day. soo 3 days. goes by quicker, teaches u self control and hopefully not to eat too much at night or late. its a good starter.
May 8th, 2008
The three day diet is harmful!
May 8th, 2008
can you swap around the foor for that day??
May 9th, 2008
am trying it tomorrow
May 9th, 2008
going to try the diet first thing monday as all your comments prove that it works, but to the 10yr old please do not go on this diet or anything like it , if you feel like you need to lose weight then speak to an adult your close too. Your gym teacher is disgusting making you feel so bad.
May 9th, 2008
this diet is a load of bull!!!!!
May 9th, 2008
I did this diet about 18 years ago, it worked for me, and I kept the weight off until I had kids! I am going on it again!
May 9th, 2008
well this is hard! If you mess up on day 1 can you just keep on going onto day 2?!
May 10th, 2008
It can work if you are committed to do right for yourself. It works for me to JUMP START my diet and excercise plan whenever I am ready to be serious ABOUT MY HEALTH. It gets me focused for longer term healthy eating. The first days of any diet is tough when you’ve been eating everything you want without thinking about calories. This type plan is structured enough to get me on track and the inital weight loss is a morale boost to keep exercising and choosing the right foods and snacks. I say go for it, but remember good health and weight lost takes hard work. do it for the right reasons people.
May 10th, 2008
starting round 2
Org weight 249

Gained back 2 lbs on my off days starting again day 1 . boy am I tired
May 11th, 2008
I was planning on trying this diet soon, but after reading the meal plan, some food weren’t specific on how much to eat/drink… for instance, it didn’t specify how much water to drink, as much as we want or just one serving?? And are we allowed drink as much water throughout the day?
May 11th, 2008
Im just wondering can you substitute anything for bananas as i really dont like them?
May 11th, 2008
round 2
day 2
what to say so glad it is over. don’t know about any subsitutions for th bananas sorry. and I wld say try to get in 8 glasses of water not much more because low sodium diet.
May 12th, 2008
Guys, this is a hoax diet started years ago. The foods on the menu supposed to cause a chemical reaction in your body which makes you lose weight - This has since been proven to be a load of b*llocks. It was originally called the Heart Foundation diet, but the heart foundation says it has nothing to do with the diet what so ever. The only reason this diet works is because you are eating less calories, so it makes no difference if you eat an apple instead of a banana, or indeed if you ate only 2 bars of chocolate a day as long as it adds up to the same amount of calories the diet recommends. I’m afraid this is no magic diet that is going to make you ‘lose 10 pounds in 3 days’. Yes you may lose a few pounds but you will put them back on when eating normally. The best diet I have found is eating 1000 calories a day, eating foods i enjoy, and doing some exercise. That way you lose the weight,tone up your body and look fab.
May 12th, 2008
Hi
I have been on this diet lots of times over the years, and every time I have always lost weight, my husband went on it for 3 weeks and in that time lost 27lbs, he was so pleased,
Just remember, stick to the diet, drink lots of water I aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day, plus black tea/coffee.
And on the 4 days off, eat sensibly, not binge eat, stick to healthy options, and the weight will stay off.
May 12th, 2008
hi
a big tip is to fill a glass with lots of ice and lemon then water, really refreshing and fills you up
May 12th, 2008
Can you add mayo to the tuna, or is it just straight tuna? I may opt for cottage cheese if I can’t add anything to the tuna.
May 12th, 2008
Yes this diet does work, i have tried it and i lost 9lbs its great now what i do is do the three day diet wait a week and do it again continuous and you have to eat healthy in the week your not on the diet and Penelope you can substitue banana’s for any other fruit because banana’s are the most unhealthy fruit.
May 12th, 2008
Everyone also try the british heart foundation diet its even better i think i lost a stone in 3 days.
May 12th, 2008
Today is my first day and it’s not bad at all. But I’m sure it will get harder.
May 12th, 2008
I’ll be starting the diet today as well. I hear it’s a lot of food to eat. So starving yourself wouldn’t be a problem, it’s just forcing yourself to eat those type of foods when you don’t usually do, like i do. I guess i’ll keep you guys updated after my first week to let you if it really works or not.
P.S.
I also agree, to keep the weight off… you still have to keep a calorie count of what you’re eating to keep the weight off. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
May 12th, 2008
This is the only diet I could stick to in college and it really does work. You have to be sure not to binge eat the other days and you will lose the weight and keep it off. You will not starve, but yes, you will be hungry if you’re used to eating a lot. Some people fast to cleanse their body for more than 3 days. Not the end of the world unless you are obsese or unhealthy. DRINK LOTS OF WATER!
May 12th, 2008
this is my first day i’m really hungry if I don’t get any results i’m going to be pissed off. time wasted when I could have been eating
May 12th, 2008
Does this really work? Im kind of skeptical about this…
May 13th, 2008
I dont like this, becaus I`am still fat.
May 13th, 2008
Well I’m on Day 2.. I don’t know if its working or not, unfortunately my scale is not functioning right now so I cant weigh myself.. However I do feel a little better about my weight but I think its more psychological than anything… I did however have to eat a half of grapefruit this morning instead of a half of banana.. i don’t know how bad that is for this strict diet.. and I’m also eating breakfast kinda late and lunch about 2 to 3 hours after and dinner much later in the day.. so I don’t know if I’m following it as strict as I should be.. I do have a question for all you experienced 3-day dieters though… I know the rumor is you’re supposed to lose 10 pounds a week but do you notice differences right away or what? How long does it take to lose tummy fat and all that other good stuff? I’m a size 9 right now and I just want to know how long it’s going to take to fit into a size 3 pants.
May 13th, 2008
I want to try this diet for myself. i really wanna see how good it is. Majority of the comments seem to be good. Tomorrow i am going to buy the food needed and then try it on thursday. I hear all these success stories from people who went frm size 18 to 11, that is wonderful because i am a size 15/16 & my goal size to be is a 9/10. If others can do it and are bigger than me then i know i can def. do it. I will be working out also, i go to the gym 3times a week already. I will report back on thurs when i start. GOOD LUCK DIETERS!!!
May 13th, 2008
When it says 3oz of any lean meat. Im not exactly sure what 3oz would be..like as little as your palm? im not too smart with that type of stuff..1/2 cups & 1 cup i can do..but oz..Not really
May 14th, 2008
I have been doing this diet for almost 1 month now and i have lost 8lbs (half a stone) i feel great my skin looks healthier. I’m not big to start with but i want to trim up for my summer holidays so this is a great way to do it, i’m sure the weight will stay off as long as i eat well inbetween and after the diet, i intnd to do this diet for another 5/6 weeks then hopefully will be a good healthy weight.
TO SCARED: PLEASE DONT TRY THIS DIET YOUR 10 YEARS OLD YOUR TEACHER HAS NO RIGHT TO COMMENT ON YOUR WEIGHT AND EVERYBODY GETS A BIT OF PUPPY FAT CHANCES ARE YOU WILL LOSE THAT WITH AGE WE ALL GO THROUGH IT, YOU ARE TO YOUNG TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT HOPEFULLY EVERYONE ON HEAR ARE ADULTS DOING THIS DIET. IF YOUR REALLY CONCERNED THEN JUST DO MORE SPORTS WITH FRIENDS OR GO SWIMMING OR RIDE A BIKE. PLEASE DONT START DIETING.
May 14th, 2008
This is my 2nd day and ive already lost 2 pounds. I have found this diet really easy and have not felt hungry or ill at all! if this diet is followed correctly there is no reason that you wont lose weight… Also try eating cracker bread crackers instead of saltine crackers as these help you feel fuller for longer!! GOODLUCK…….
May 14th, 2008
hey ppl… just wana no is it better to do it 3 days and 4 days off ? and you sure it like 1 cup for almost all the veggies for day 1 and 3 ? cos my friend gave me the same menu but the portion for the verggies for day 1 and 3 are halfed !! so please please tell me !!!

May 14th, 2008
I have been up and down on my weight ever since i was in middle school. With the rigorous courses i am taking in school right now i just have no time to eat right. I have family friends who have done this diet and it has worked! I am hoping to lose around 40 lbs. I would like to make a grand entrance for my senior year! Reading all of your comments gave me hope! Dont know when i am going to start it, probably in June when school lets out, but i plan on doing it, and excersizing on the off days! Good luck to everyone who is engaging in the diet right now!
May 15th, 2008
hi

am going to go weigh myself today to see what i have lost…
good luck all
May 15th, 2008
Hi Everyone,
Interesting stuff here. I actually love this diet. The best part is that you get to have ice cream at the end of the day. Unhealthy?? I’m not so sure about that. This contains more than enough protein to satisify the Canada Food Guide; fruit & veggies - contains 5 servings so it’s within the 5-9 suggested servings per day. The crackers/bread add the 2 recommended servings of carbs, and the ice cream adds the recommended dairy, which is also a low glycemic load. Please correct me if I’m wrong about this, but I don’t think it’s so unhealthy. I’d feel comfortable to add a couple of servings of low carb veggies and I think you’d still do fine on this diet. I usually find that I cannot finish the recommended dinner as it is a LOT of food. I’d encourage anyone to do this diet, it’s always worked for me when I need to lose weight quickly. I also know a guy whose doctor put him on this diet and he lost 60 lbs in three months. Though it’s a lot of weight, I think it’s better than carrying around the 60 lbs and his cholesterol was down by more than 50%.
May 15th, 2008
The diet is great! Since Feb. 4th I have lost 46lbs. I stick to the diet and weight every morning. During the off days I watch what I eat very carefully. This is when you really learn how to eat. It is a very good tool for getting you started, but you must learn how to eat or you are doomed to gain the weight back.
May 15th, 2008
i think diets are pointless unless you actually need them, im 13 years old and i probably know more abou this stuff then most of any of you writing about it, you guys need to stop worrying about your weight and what other people think about you, if you are not over weight then you dont needa diet! if you just think your fat then exercise! but dont use a diet cause you can hurt yourself, so all of you under weight girls need to just knock all of this crap off cause personally i think its pointless! thanx for your time, if you want to talk to me look me up on myspace yo!
May 15th, 2008
jeeeeeeez, does nobody listen?? Go on the diet for 3 days and i bet you all the money in the world you dont lose 10 pounds. You are all going to lose about 3 pounds, and thats 3 pound of mainly water!
May 15th, 2008
@ Miss Hoping,
Your story is similar to mine! I was overweight in 11th grade and over the summer before 12th, I did this diet all summer and lost 35 pounds! Start it soon, you won’t regret it when you see the results!

May 15th, 2008
I agree with what kerry said. To lose One pound of fat, you have to burn off about 3000 calories. If you lose lots of weight in 3 days, then unless you’ve been exercising like an athlete and taking in very little calories, then its not fat your losing its just water
May 17th, 2008
I think this diet is ok for a few days if you are looking to lose a little before a special event. I have a wedding coming up and am trying to lose a few lbs. just to make my dress more comfortable. For those of you wanting to know if you can change up the food, I plan on doing just that, so I will let you know the results. I hate hotdogs AND tuna. I plan on replacing them with chicken or turkey breast. This morning I ate an apple w/ breakfast instead of grapefruit. I think it’s more the calories you are eating than some secret formula.. We will see!
May 17th, 2008
and i agree with Jam here…the 3day diet is a good start. when people see a difference,you tend to strengthen your will. at least it works for me!
am going to start this diet on Monday, already lost 13kilos so far,with a different diet.. healthier one i should say, but i cant seem to lose the last 5kilos! will let you know how it goes
May 17th, 2008
I’m at the end of my first day. I’m actually not so hungry. It’s not too bad. We’ll see at the end of tomorrow.
May 17th, 2008
This diet works really well. On my first cycle I lost 7 pounds (now making me 143 pounds).
A lot of what you lose on this diet is water weight. But keep in mind you need to lose the water weight before you start to lose fat.
May 18th, 2008
Im 37 ive been overweight most of my life.Didnt want to try any diets for fear of failing.I have 15yr son that has recieved trophys for best body. I seen him workingout made me think what kinda role model am I,had fatty liver,hip joints hurting all the time ankles couldnt walk long.So I tried the diet in 9weeks lost42 pounds kept it off next month it will be ayear.belive it or not my liver is fine now nomore aches and pains.It worked for me!(try diet rootbeer w/ice cream makes great flot w/out cheating It would get me through the day.
May 19th, 2008
hi i am 20 and i just had a baby 8 months ago .i was 110 when i got pregnent an i had him when i was 7 months at 178. when i had him .now i am down to 136 an i started the diet today an want to know if it really works. i hope that it does
May 19th, 2008
First off I admit you will lose a few. I mean you are basically consuming 500 calories or so a day. The thing is though.. after the 3 days DO NOT do something stupid and go to McDonalds or binge on food because you will just end up gaining it back! Also keep in mind that this is water weight you are losing.
May 19th, 2008
1st day almost over , lost 2 pounds
got quite hungry though but the breakfast the next day is a treat 
i was 117 want to get to 110
May 19th, 2008
First day. Hope gum is allowed, because I’m chewing like crazy :c
I’m coming off Atkins, and I’m also kind of using this to avoid gaining weight very quickly. Hope it works!!!
May 20th, 2008
this diet did not work it was the biggest waist of time. Not only did i not see results i became sick.
May 20th, 2008
you guys are all making a huge mistake.
this is very dangerous. and you will put on the
weight 2x as much. all your doing is starving yourself.
you will have no energy and all you will be doing
is thinking of how hungry you are. this is
actually rediculous! secialy reading some of these stories.
instead of doing a 3 day diet, that will not only harm your health
but also make you gain more weight… why dont you just go join a
sports team get a real healthy diet , or just go to the gym.
its not that hard.
all i can say it maakes me sad to see how low women have sunck
to make them selves “beautiful” lets just say ….
guys like more cushin fo the pushin… not bones that will snap.
its your life though.
May 20th, 2008

May 21st, 2008
Trust me ! This is really works. I’ve done this so many times, and it’ll not make you feel hungry. I lost 2 kg only on 3 days. Well, i recommended this diet menu.This is a healthy diet way
May 21st, 2008
I’m gonna start tommorrow, I’ll let you know
May 21st, 2008
this is a good but at the same time bad diet if you want to keep off the weight just do regular exercise and cardio and if you continue to follow the diet like i did i lost 20 lbs in 4 weeks
May 21st, 2008
I’ve heard pros and cons for this diet. I’m 23 years old and 221 lbs. I’m scared of getting hunger headaches :S Will I be ok to do this diet and go to the gym? Or will i flat out pass out!?
May 21st, 2008
I just finished my first day of the diet. I’m not a coffee and tea drinker usually, but i’m choking it down. I have not been starving at all. In fact, it’s been quite filling. I’m just about to have my ice cream. One of the anesthesiologists at the hospital where i work gave me this diet, and i trust her opinion. She’s been doing the diet several weeks during the course of the last year and has continued to lose weight. She says that staying on it has actually retrained her eating habits during the “normal eating” days. I tried a similar diet about 10 yrs ago and lost weight, so I’m hoping it’ll kickstart some weight loss again for me.
