3 Day Diet

Losing Weight With Three Days Of Dieting

There are so many fad diets on the market today claiming you can lose weight in just a few days, the 3 Day Diet is one of them. How anyone can lose weight in only three days?

This just never seems right to me. I kept thinking that this must be another starvation diet that will do nothing but make you lose a bit of water weight. I have seen all this before. I have even tried these diets before with no real weight loss success.

The major idea behind these diets is to shed what you can really fast. One thing I do know about this diet, you cannot stay on it more than three days or it will back fire on you.

The 3 Day Diet is a crash diet that allows you to lose up to 10 pounds really fast. The reason you do not want to stay on this diet more than the recommended three days is that it will ultimately screw up your metabolism.

Once the body realizes that it is not getting enough food to sustain itself it will slow down the metabolism. This puts the body into storage mode. The few calories you would be taking in would just get immediately stored as fat.

This means when you go back to your normal diet, you just start packing on the pounds again. I have done this so many times, and usually end up heavier than I began. The rapid loss is due to eating less than 1000 calories each day, although most is simply water and not burned fat.

I actually did try the 3 Day Diet for one day to see if it was easy or not. I can honestly say that restricting myself so much was horrid. With the diet plan you are warned to not over eat or cheat at all or you will not lose the 10 pounds promised.

I was only to have the bear minimum in calories, so this meant no refined sugars, little to no fats, and small amounts of high protein foods. I found that I was still very hungry and it was hard to not want more. I also felt very tired on this regime.

I am a very active person and I was not eating enough to sustain my normal routine. I found by later in the afternoon I wanted to either eat or sleep. Between being hungry all the time and having no energy, I decided one day on this diet was one too many.

The 3 Day Diet is not a diet I would recommend to anyone. Not only is it not healthy to starve yourself into losing weight, it is never recommended. All that is accomplished on this fast fad is nothing.

After you are finished you will spend the next few weeks trying to reprogram your metabolism to stop storing every single thing you eat and begin to use it upon consumption. This reprogramming not only takes time, it will cost you some weight gain till you have it under control.
