The 3 Day Diet is a fad diet that has been around since the '80s. Some of the benefits its proponents claim include an accelerated weight loss (up to 10 pounds in three days), a reduction in cholesterol levels, and an increase in energy. It is particularly attractive to many because it is only three days long. However, there are pros and cons to this weight-loss approach.
Warnings
This is a fad diet, not exactly a healthy eating plan. So as easy as it is to lose those pounds, you might gain them right back as soon as you begin to eat normally. No scientific evidence has been shown for how it works. This diet allows you to consume between just under 500 and 600 calories per day. This low consumption of calories is known to cause a slowdown in your metabolism as the body conserves energy when you enter starvation mode.
Please note: It is commonly emphasized that for this diet to work, it must be strictly followed. No adding, no subtracting. The vanilla ice cream you have every day for dessert at dinnertime must be regular, full-fat ice cream, not frozen yogurt or any other type of reduced fat variations. The vegetables you eat must be exactly what is prescribed and cannot be replaced with other vegetables of your choosing and so forth.
Best Use of the 3-Day Diet
This diet can be useful if you have an event coming up and need to fit into certain clothing. If your weight-loss efforts have reached a plateau, this diet may also help you jumpstart your weight loss. After the three days of this diet though, you should be prepared to embark on a truly healthy diet and exercise plan if you really want to keep the weight off.
