hi there. i have been in the diet for a month now. so far, i have lost 10 pounds. and my tummy isn't that bloated anymore. i never really felt any discomforts or anything. i am not looking forward to shed a lot of pounds quickly. i have no right to complain since i gained all these fat and weight slowly in 6 years. i am combining the 3 day diet with exercise and i am feeling much better right now. :) at least i know i am doing something good for myself. i trust the diet is healthy. i don't drink sodas anymore and drink plenty of water. i have made my friend who is a nutritionist review the diet and she says it's ok for me to take it. :) i've seen this diet worked for a lot of my friends and i believe only those who doesn't have discipline think this is a hoax. :)

Starting the diet today. I did this about two years ago for six weeks and lost 15 lbs. Time to do it again. I would like to lose around 50 altogether. This time I am exercising 6 days a week so I can keep it off when I get to goal. I do three days of aerobics and three days of weight training. Do any of you drink creamer in your coffee on the three days? I just can't seem to give up my coffee and I wonder if that is why I usually only lose about 3 each week.

First day went well. I am down 2 lbs already. I love this diet!!!!

Hello All!

I'm starting the diet today...I will let you know how I did when I weigh tomorrow morning...I'm keeping my fingers crossed~!

Marina,
I started for my second week yesterday. It's 3:45 in the afternoon and I am hungry!!! but i will wait until at least 5:30 to eat. Hope your doing great!

the three day diet is purely starving yourself

Is diet soda allowed on this diet?

Yes it is. Just make sure to drink 8- 8oz glasses of water a day too

i started this died saturday and i am doing it for 6 days in a row instead of 3 is that bad???

6 Days is very dangerous because it can cause your metabolism to go into "starvation mode" and then, when you go off the diet, it will automatically store all of the extra food you eat as fat. Three days is about the longest you can go without your body kicking into this state, which is the beginning of horrible yo-yo dieting. Trust me, stick to three and it will work without causing your body great harm.

Are the vegetables cooked or raw

I usually cook them but you can have them raw. I don't think it matters

Hi
I have just finished the 3 day diet. I have been drinking lots of water and lots of coffee! Finished it but I was so hungry at the end of it I had to have a BISCUIT!
My cousins started the diet with me and they ended up raiding the biscuit tin on day 2 after dinner, but they are really slim anyway! The last meal I couldn't eat as it was too much. I was craving for something sweet! My cousins had really bad headaches. I just ran to the loo alot, with all the water that I drank !

Mel,
How much weight did you lose?

Over half a stone, I can see it more and I feel alot better. I'm going to try it again in a few days time.

I actually had the 3 day diet breakfast today, so I'm on my fourth day. Not hungry now, it's 2.38pm and I haven't had lunch yet. I have been cleaning alot and drinking lots of water - that really helps!
My cousins that did this diet got sore heads on the second night. I'm feeling quite good!
Would love to hear from you all x

Mel,
Wow! What great results. I usually only lose 1 1/2 to 2 pounds (14 pounds in a stone, I think). But I have been dieting for awhile so I think that is probably why I lose a little. But it is easy to follow so I do it three days a week each week for the last 3 weeks and have lost 5 pounds. I'm starting again tomorrow.

can i use the foods on the list but in a different order? or do I have to do it to the letter? I dont want to eat moreor less I just want to eat different this together like bees and cotage cheese with egg, can I do that?

Mellissa,
I don't think so. Something about the chemicle make up of the foods and how they work together. But you could try it Hey its only three days. See if it works.
Hope that helps

i'm about to start the diet.... whats a cup of carrots,a cup of string beans?

cup is 4 oz in the uk

i didn't lose much. i thought a cup of carrots meant 8oz but i see from the discussion that it's 4oz - is it weight measure or liquid measure.

It's the weight measure for the carrots etc

I am going to start the 3 day diet on monday. Does it really make you lose 10 pounds in the first week if you follow it????? I hope so my goal is to lose 55 pounds its alot but i just got to do it.
Im only 18 and I weigh 167.5 thats so not right Please somebody let me know if it really works
thanks.

I have been on the 3 day diet for 3 weeks. I started at 238, now Im at 228, on a 5'10 frame. Ive lost a total of 10 lbs. I do sometimes catch my self cheating. But not that bad, I have a bite of something I shouldn't have during the 3 days or have an extra serving of yougart or carrots. I don't mind losing the weight slowly, because according to the nutrition books .5-1 lb's a week is a healthy weight lose. I also exercise about 2-3 times a week.
Also I stretch my food out during the day, I don't have it at just at that particular time, plus I found a substition list somewhere on the net, because I can't handle beets, cottage cheese, and tuna. Well good luck to all of you.
Jen

where can i find that sub list i also cant handle those f0ods

I know you can substitute carrots for the beets. And the cottage cheese and tuna can be substituted for each other. For the cottage cheese try this -measure out the cup serving blend it in a blender with 1 equal or splenda and some cinnamon. It tastes really good and its not all lumpy.

OK SUBSTITUTIONS (BUT NOT RECOMMENDED)
INSTEAD OF: HAVE:
grapefruit orange
tuna cottage cheese (visa versa)
icecream frozen yogurt
cauliflower broccoli (visa versa)
green beans broccoli or cauliflower
carrots beets (who would want that!)
toast 5 crackers (visa versa)

ONLY SUSTITUDE 2 OR 3 ITEMS PER WEEK!

OK ADD-ON'S(THESE ARE REALLY HELPFUL)
lemon (and lots of it, if you like), a dash of salt and/or pepper, mustard, cooking spray, sweet & low or equal, tea, coffee, water

NO NO'S (THESE WILL KILL THE DIET)
mayo, oil, butter, sugar, milk or creamers, sodas or other drinks with sugar, bread, ketchup, or anything else!

Started yesterday again. This time no creamer in my coffee or lite salad dressing on my veggies as i suggests. I want to see if that really makes a difference in the weight lost. I usually lose 1 to 2 lbs.

i did the diet last week and lost about 5lbs. I then ate like there was no tomorrow because I was away from home. I felt sick eating so much. In 4 days I had gained the weight back. I then wanted to start it again and sliced my middle finger open on the can of tuna. GREAT! I had to give up on it that day as I was too upset from the terrible ordeal of seeing so much blood and layers of flesh...sorry to the faint hearted. So I ate like a pig again that day. I started again yesterday and I've lost 3lbs I think. The thing is I had ham instead of the chicken, and ham again tonight instead of beef franks. I simply don't know where to find BEEF franks. Have I done wrong? By the way good luck to everyone else.

Starting the diet again today. I only did it one day last week as I got sick. But I did lose 1 lb that day anyway. So I am trying it again.
Mary

NO NO'S (THESE WILL KILL THE DIET)
mayo, oil, butter, sugar, milk or creamers, sodas or other drinks with sugar, bread, ketchup, or anything else!

....

This was said in one of the posts...but in the diet, it says that you should have toast. So...is bread okay or not?

Tara,
I think she must have meant extra bread. You must eat everything on the diet or the chemicle reaction won't occur that cause the weight loss.

Hi, i wasnt to start the dite tomorrow butI am vegetarian so what i can substitute the tuna, chicken and beef for

hiya, how do u prepare the veggies, e.g string beans, carrots etc? are they steamed or sumthin? please help

I am on my second day, haev just been looking on net and things seem to vary in the diet, i thought it was v important to have diet vanilla ice cream but on some sights it says normal vanilla. also what are beats?

ali x uk

Hello, Im looking to start this diet tomorrow and I had a few questions. Does the toast have to be dry? Does it have to be 'beef' franks? Regarding the '3 slices of meat", does that mean deli meat or can it be a beef steak (lean, of course)?
BTW, much luck to you, Ali, and to all of us looking to shed a few.

Sorry, 1 more question:
Can the veggies be canned or do they have to be fresh?

The toast should be dry. If you used a little I can't believe its not butter spray I don't think that would hurt. The veggies should be either fresh or frozen as canned have a lot of sodium. It can be 3 slices of any lean meat. I usually use chicken, roast beef, or lean steak. Hope that helps you. Good luck!

can you drink alcohol on the three day diet? i havent cheated but will maybe vodka and club soda be bad?

I certainly wouldnt. I have a copy of the diet that gives a few substitutes, but I use very few since I wanna see how this actually works. Adding "anything" can altar the results.

Im on day 3 now, and I wanna know (I realize this is a personal decision) if you would weigh yourself after the 3 days, or after the whole week is through?

Did anybody here lose 40 in a month. what is the most anybody here has lost????? I'm trying to lose the weight for my graduation pic cause i dont want to be this big in the pic also i want to fit in my clothes!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just had my last meal on day 3. I hadnt weighed myself yet. I think I'll wait. But I will say that it wasnt easy. The only reason I got through it, folowed it to the letter and didnt cheat, was because I was already cutting down on my calorie intake and laying off the carbs for about a month. My job is very physical, and I was left hungry shortly after each meal.

Just started the diet yesterday. It wasn't that bad and I had lots of energy. Lost 2 1/2 lbs. I'm sure it was water but it's losing! Good luck everyone.

I am going to start tomorrow. However I have a friend who lost 60 pounds in 5 months.

I just DL the diet from the net and plan to start in the morning. Big Holiday this weekend! I will definitely give a review on the diet after the weekend.

I am starting the diet again today... after the third day what do you eat and then how long do you wait until you can start again?

On the 4th through 7th day, you eat reasonably. Low cal and low carb. Im sure excercise will help the weightloss along. You start the diet again on the 8th day.

I lost 48 pounds in 4 months on this diet last year. The trick is to drink plenty of water while on the diet and to not go overboard on the four days off. In fact, I've found that I don't eat as much on the days off as I would have otherwise becuase I just can't handle the portion sizes I used to have. Must be because my stomach shrank, or I just got used to eating such small portions. I've heard people complain about getting headaches while on the diet. I too started getting them, but found I wasn't drinking enough water. I also don't drink that much coffee or tea, but I'll have a couple of diet sodas during the day. I gained some of the weight back during the last half of last year as I was traveling a lot on business and not eating very healthy, so I just went back on it three weeks ago and have already lost 10 pounds. I find the first week on I lose 4-5 pounds, then 1-3 every week after.

I am on third day and I have only loss 2lbs. I was hoping for more. It is my first time tring this diet. Is it not as effective on the first try?

I was on the diet last year and lost 25 pounds in 3 weeks(along with walking 5 miles a day) I plan to get on the diet wed. I NEED to lose 100lbs. by sept, wish me luck:)

I wish you much luck, but 100lbs in 3 months isnt healthy. To lose weight sucessfully, it really needs to be more gradual. I did this diet for 1 week, simply to see what happens. I lost 2 1/2 lbs. I didnt do any extra excercising, but my work is very physical. If I did make that extra effort, I could have lost a little more. Thing of it is, we are all looking for that 1 thing that can make losing weight not only simple, but fast. Yes, you are likely to lose a good amount of weight at first, but then it will taper off.
Aside from lypo suction or stomach stapling, there simply is NO fast and simple way to take off weight.

EVERY TIME I HAVE TO EAT EGGS DOES ANY BODY KNOW IF THEY ALL WAYS HAVE TO BE HARD BOILED

WHAT KIND OF HOTDOGS DO THEY HAVE TO BE AND ICE CREAM DOES IT HAVE TO BE SUGER FREE?

I dont think it would make a difference if you poached the egg.
The kind of hotdog doesnt matter, although turkey would be best.
And I would use Light ice cream. I have found its actually pretty good.

BTW, typing in all caps is kinda bad internet etiquette.

I started the diet today and i'm already starving and its not even lunch time yet. Its hard for me cause i have a job that requires me to wake up early, so i am going about 7 hours between meals. I was wondering if you had to eat ALL the breakfast/lunch/dinner all at once or could u space it out, like have a coffee when u wake up and eat the toast a bit later and the grapefruit a bit later, or does it all have to be consumed at once? I'll post again at the end of the 3 days or the week and let u know how i did!
thanks!

i wonder if any one can help i saw a question in here from a veggi .. well i want to go on this diet does anyone know wot us veggis should do and wot to eat .. plz healp .. does anyone have any idea who set this diet n if i can call someone

plzzzzzzz someone help i wana do this diet but i m vegi so help me make a diet plan i know this works but i need somone to help me with the foods

Maybe with the hotdogs you can use soy dogs and with the meat you can use a vegi burger. I dont know how to replace the tuna. But since this diet supposably works with the chemical breakdown that each food gives, I dont know if any of this will work the same.

I have been on this diet for almost 3 days now, this is my 3rd day, i drink tons of water each day and i have lost 2.5lbs!!!

im going to start the diet tomorrow i hope it works, it doesnt seem like anyone has actually lost 10 pounds in 3 days i dont think that is possible.

i m a veggi i need to do this diet plz help

hi, i just started day one and i already had breakfast,and i was wondering what if i did the 3-day diet and after im done i do it again the next day, i am what my nickname says, im desperate to lose 40 lbs by aug.16, is it possible if i just did the diet non stop, i can handle it alot adn i have no problem with being temp. so please let me know if its possible

desparete2lose,u need to take a 4 day break after u do the diet or afterwords, ull gain it back

I used this diet plan a couple of years ago when someone I worked with told me about it. They were given the diet plan by a Dr. I had great success with it. I did workout regularly, though, and there are things that HAVE to be done to loose weight and keep it off.

1. First of DO NOT substitute things in this diet-eat exactly what it tells you to.

2.You HAVE to eat ALL of the food! I've been there, and believe me it's all you can do at dinner of day 3!

3.If you drink diet soda, make sure that it is CLEAR diet soda. The carmel coloring in soda turns to sugar in the body, and you are to have NO additional sugar during those 3 days!

4.I have not heard of using lowfat vanilla ice cream-I was told to eat regular vanilla ice cream.

5.You can salt and pepper your food to taste. There are no limitations on this.

6.Drink LOTS of water!

7.On the 4 days that you eat "regular food", DO NOT snack. You can have 3 meals that consist of WHATEVER YOU WANT. You will find that you will want to eat healthier anyway once the weight starts to come off.

8.For anyone who thinks that they should go on the diet for more than 3 days to loose more-DON'T!! The whole reason that you have those 4 days off is so that your body stays "used to" eating those foods, that way you don't gain the weight back when you go off of the diet.

And I know that everyones experience is different, but for the record I lost about 7 lbs. the first week, and about 2-4 each week after. And usually my 3 meals per day for those 4 days off was Burger King! It was the one weakness I had. Had I eaten healthier maybe I would have lost more. Point being-FOLLOW THE DIET!! If you do, it WILL work.

I've started today and feeling great but I love drinking cappuccino a lot and can't handle drinking coffee without milk. I know that the diet says black coffee but I'm just wondering if adding skim milk would ruin the the diet plan big time.

I do half an hour walk to burn off the milk anyway in order to make me feel better.I can't wait to weigh myself tomorrow morning.

Hello, I have started this diet yesterday... I am on day two havent cheated or anything....... So far lost 3 lbs yesterday...... Doing good... if you follow the diet the way it is and no substitutes or adding anything.. It looks like it will really work...... On the 4 off days im going to eat 1 egg in the morning 1 piece of toast and coffee ...for lunch i am going to eat a chicken sandwich with nothing on it and for dinner chicken or fish and some veggies... as long as i don't eat to get stuffed and just till i am content i know its going to work.... By the way.... if you drink a half a glass of water... you won't mistake thirst for hunger.. Okay.. good luck!

I meant if you drink a half glass of water before you eat...

Hey, guys. I'm on my 3rd day of this diet, and I have already lost 4 pounds. I'm very excited about losing more weight, and hope that I remain eating healthier and smaller meals. Good luck to everyone that is going to start this diet! It really works if you follow it correctly.

Hey Gaby, Good luck! It isn't as hard as I thought it is pretty easy!

Okay I am on the 3rd day today... I already lost 10 lbs????????? Wow the 3rd day just started and I lost 10 lbs in like 2 days....... I just don't want to gain it back on those 4 days! LOL..... It gets pretty hard on the diet but just keep telling yourself its only 3 days LOL...I think it would probably help if you eat healthy on the 4 off days!

I am gonna do this diet on Saturday. Will i put all the weight back on though when i come off it? I eat pretty sensible anyway but i just dont wanna pile it back on again.

well if you stick with the diet and you lose a lot and just eat healthy it shouldnt come back..but you have to stick with eating healthy it should be a life time habit....(eating healthy)You eat healthy to be good to your body...

Drink lost of water it helps boost your metabolisim and if you drink a glass before you eat it helps you not confuse thirst for hunger.....

As i said i eat pretty sensible anyway and train 4 times a week because i want to be good to my body. I wanna loose a few pounds before my wedding.

Aw, congrats! That is really cool... Yea I am just losing some baby fat I just had a baby in Feb. so its about time to lose the fat now! LOL...

I am gonna start the diet on Saturday and making my other half do it to, i think its only fair! LOL. Congratulations with your new arrival. I have already lost 4lbs in 1 and a bit weeks through training and healthy eating so i weight 12st8 now, i would love to weigh 11st!!! I piled it on when i stopped smoking.

Thank you! Well so far just lost one more lb so a total of 11 lbs in 3 days....now i just got to keep it off lmao........ Do any of you guys have yahoo msger? its nice to be supportive through the diet thing LOL....add me to your list if you have yahoo msger... mom2benfeb05@yahoo.com

can beef franks b substitued for hot dogs?

m allergic to peanut butter...can it b substituted foe anything else....same with black tea/coffee....plz suggest sum ideaz..

I dont know if beef franks can be substituted.. But peanut butter can be substituted for a boiled egg or a banana.. Coffee and tea is suppose to boost your metabolism becuase of the caffeine... so don't substitute it.

I'm having trouble with the measurements. When it says 'cup' exactly how much does that equate to, in grams, of each of the foods? I sure had a lot of ice-cream 2nite!

At last, found the information! Measuring in cup size is often confusing, so I am posting the EXACT values of weight for each food. Might give it a go tomorrow, although I'm currently losing 2 pounds every 4 days on my diet.

Black tea/ coffee
1/2 grapefruit

J,
You have a couple of things wrong on your food list. Dinner the first night is 3 oz of any lean meat, and shouldn't a 1/2 cup serving of the 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream be 4 ozs. (1 cup= 8 oz.), same for broccoli & carrots? If I am confused let me know.

Try weighing out 8 oz of icecream, then you'll realise that it cannot be right... that would equal about 3 cups. A 'cup' is a unit of volume, of which I just discovered doesn't mean equal weight. A cup of saphron is going to weigh less than a cup of lead. It's the density of the food that is the weight.

(p.s. Not trying to say lead is a food... that's just silly. lol)

cant help you with conversions lol...sorry!

Hello J
What is your diet consist of? You stated you are losing 2 pound
