Is the 3 Day Diet Good Or Bad
The 3 Day Diet dates back to 1985 and today can be found all over the Internet and on book store shelves. The three day diet and its variants promise quick weight loss, a cleansing of the system, lower cholesterol and increased energy all through a specific metabolic reaction that no version of the diet has ever proven.
The diet goes on for three days and then off for four or five with lots of specific and cryptic steps so that when it fails to lose the required weight the dieter can be held responsible for doing something wrong.
Breakfast on the first day begins with coffee (no sugar), half a grapefruit, and a portion of toast with one tblsp of peanut butter. For lunch, you are to eat a can of tuna, a slice of toast, and black coffee. Dinner consists of 3 ounces of chicken or lean meat, a cup of green beans, one cup of carrots, one apple, and one cup of regular vanilla ice cream.
The other two days of the three day diet are pretty similar in meal quantity, though the specifics change, for example Day 2 recommends two beef franks for dinner in place of three ounces of lean meat. The diet crows that weight loss of 10 pounds is achievable over the 3 days that the diet lasts.
Hogwash is the answer. The issue is what is a specific reaction to that claim? As stated the metabolic reaction has never been examined much less proven. Any weight loss would be mostly water loss due to a lack of carbohydrates in the body which help the body to hold the water that we all need. At the end of the day this can lead to dehydration which is not desirable for our bodies to function correctly.
Because of binge eating after such starvation and because most of the weight lost is from water, the weight will hastily return after the three days. Furthermore, such water loss could result in some serious medical problems. But hey, then you'd lose some real weight in the hospital.
If something sounds too good to be true it is. The 3 day diet sounds too good to be true. - 17268
