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 claim 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 explained. 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 the dieter can be pinned for doing something wrong.

First day breakfast includes coffee (no sugar), one half a grapefruit, and a piece of toast with 1 Tbsp peanut butter. For lunch, you are allowed a can of tuna, a piece 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 following two days of the 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 claims that weight loss of 10 pounds is achievable over the 3 days that the diet lasts.

Baloney! How’s that for specific? And no baloney is not on the diet. There is no evidence for the so-called ’specific metabolic reaction’. The only reason this diet would work to help a person lose weight is because of the lack of calories in the diet. In fact, because the diet is so low in carbohydrates a person could drop ten pound in three days. Of course most of that would be water weight because carbohydrates cause the body to retain water. By the way, losing that much weight from not retaining water is dangerous as the body needs water to survive.

Because of binge eating after such starvation and because most of the weight lost is from water, the weight will quickly return after the three days. Deprive the body of water for three day cycles enough times and a person could develop kidney damage, dehydration, or a host of other dangerous conditions.

The 3 day diet is best treated as a no day diet. In other words, don’t do it.

The amazing miracle weight loss system that can make you lose 10 pounds in 10 days no matter what you eat! Eat whatever you want, eat more than you want, eat double what you want, and still lose weight without working out! Drop one pant size in a day, but beware because this might work so well you’ll pop out of existence! If these advertising claims are true then rapid weight loss is a miracle solution of the modern world, requiring no effort on the dieter’s part.

Baloney! But even though they mostly aren′t true, Americans spend over 40 billion dollars a year on pills, programs and weight loss products that simply don′t work. Failure doesn′t stop new diets from springing up out of the wood work, or people from trying them. Remember Joe Frazier’s diet, chew the food but spit it out? He said it made him full and gave him all the nutrients without the fat.

See, mimes had the secret to weight loss all the time. Then we have the pills, creams, drinks and formulas that miraculously remove weight. Remember Fen-Fen? The people who contracted heart conditions sure do.

Studies show that Very Low Calorie Diets, or VLCDs, work. People got wind of this and now try them at home. That’s a problem because of their nature. When people are so much overweight it becomes a health problem, VLCDs were made to come to the rescue. These diets often include eating half or less of their daily caloric intake. They’re intended to be implemented in medically supervised closed settings, where people can′t cheat. When used outside of a closed setting, often a clinic called a ‘fat farm’, these diets can be dangerous to the dieters health and will generally not work because of binge eating after a period of partial starvation.

Rapid weight loss causes a number of health problems. Painful gallstones develop in up to 25% of people who lose large amounts of weight over a few months. Uneducated dieters can often become dehydrated because they don′t realize a large portion of the water people need to drink comes from foods. It’s easy to compensate for this by drinking more water. Malnutrition can develop from not eating enough protein over a long period of time. The body can even become unable to process protein, which leads to serious illness and even death.

Rapid weight loss is a great idea. But it’s not for most people, and should be administered and supervised by qualified medical professionals.

Losing weight is a matter of consuming fewer calories than you burn. Once a healthy diet is planned it’s time to get down to exercise. This means 30 minutes a day seven days a week of aerobic work.

It can be running on a treadmill, swimming, or simply walking to lose weight. Walking is a low impact way to accomplish the exercise goal. Here are some walking tips.

Walking for 30 minutes a day every day of the week is a great start. In fact, it’s much better than the five day, or even three day, plan that many people recommend. 30 minutes of exercise 3-5 times a week just isn’t enough. The body needs work every day. That means seven days a week and if walking is the way to make that tolerable every day for the rest of your life, then walk.

Once the walking is established do some other activities to increase your physical output. This can include simple things like raking leaves instead of blowing them, silly things like playing tag with your children, as well as other every day habits such as parking in the furthest space from the store rather than the closest.

After getting accustomed to walking that 30 minutes every day, make some adjustments by adding intervals. Intervals are short bursts of increased activity sprinkled into a normal routine.

You walk for the first four minutes, then run for the fifth, then walk the next four minutes, run the next minute, and so on for the whole 30 minutes. Keep in mind that a run is not a jog, it’s faster, like a sprint. After a short period of walking run, then walk again, then run.

Walking to lose weight is healthy, no doubt. But it’s also a terrific way to get around the neighborhood, meet neighbors, and see things you probably never see while driving around everywhere you go. If it gets boring you can ask a spouse or family member to exercise with you. Make it a family affair, or get the whole neighborhood involved.

Researchers involved in the study found out that the people who kept food diaries lost twice as much weight as those who didn’t. It is possibly the most important step you can take toward developing a lifestyle that leads to long-term weight loss success.

A notebook could be perfect for you to record your daily food intake. Writing food diary is something that needs to be a part of our everyday weight loss routine.

There are a number of pieces of information you can record in your food diary. You can either track a number of things in your food diary or you can keep it simple, but this is a great way in which to help yourself stick to a weight loss plan.

Recording your daily menu to help you actually see what you eat on any given day and notice the patterns of unhealthy eating that you never considered before. You also can record calories, protein, fibre, fat, and other nutrients if it is necessary.

Writing down the reasons you’re eating other than hunger, the cravings you experience, and your feelings about your diet during the day. You can truly use it as a normal diary format. For some people, the traditional journal or just a plain notebook works fine. But you don’t have to keep a traditional journal , you can use whatever kind of recording and writing tools you like best.

Keeping a food diary on your computer is another good idea. Simply open up a word processing program and keep the icon on your desktop. Others like to use Excel or other data entry programs, which help quiet a lot when it comes to adding totals at the end of the day.

Update your food diary frequently, check it every day and review it at the end of each week in order to track your progress. A minimum of a week or two would be best for keeping your weight loss food diary. But just a few days is good, and if all you can manage is one day that would still be beneficial.

Continue to monitor what you eat and how active you are in some way when you hit certain weight loss goals or when you gain weight in order to look for causes.

Keeping a weight loss food diary provides insight into the progress of your weight loss program and will indicate whether or not you meet your goals. Change your life in very big and very small ways by writing a weight loss food diary.

In order to help you to prepare the mental state of your mind, it is also good to know how a typical day of following the master cleanse diet feels like. You can choose to have a serving of the master cleanse one at the time or to save you the trouble by preparing the whole day servings of 60 ounces at one time. Once you have prepared the master cleanse servings, it is always better to start the day with a laxative. You can choose from psyllium husk, laxative tea or sea salt.

In order to prevent yourself from getting dehydrated, you have to also remember to drink a lot of water. A good way is to alternate between a glass of water and the master cleanse. The recommended amount of water to drink will be according to your body weight. Therefore, if you are 150 pounds, you should try to drink 150 ounces of fresh filtered water.

You can take wheat grass after the first glass of master cleanse to give you more protein. Ideal amount to consume will be 5 grams and break the 5 grams into 2 dosage. Continue drinking your lemonade and water. If you get bored drinking lemonade the whole day, remember you can flavor it with herbal tea to give it a different taste.

Just before you go to sleep, take another laxative. They can be psyllium husk, laxative tea or sea salt. Keep yourself busy so that your mind would not be filled with fulfilling the master cleanse diet. In the initial stage, you may find it difficult to adapt to the new master cleanse diet. However, after a few times, your body will adjust to it and fulfilling it will not be an arduous task.
