Three Day Diet
The Three Day Diet is a high-protein, low-carb, very-low-calorie diet found to be effective in the short-term treatment for obese adolescents with type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.
The Three Day Diet is a Caloric Diet, which means you can eat the foods you like, but use the calorie counter.
The diet consists of about 100 grams of protein and less than 30 grams each of fat and carbohydrates per day, which delivers between 680 and 800 calories. That translates to approximately 13 ounces of lean meat and 3 cups of vegetables. Dieters also took in 8 cups of fluid and supplemental salt daily.
Mean daily blood glucose levels were found to fall from 162 to 100 mg/dL within three days of beginning the diet and most dieters managed to discontinue all anti-diabetic therapy.
After voluntarily stopping the diet after an average of 60 days, participants' average weight loss was 25 pounds (9.3 percent of total body weight).
In fact, the average body weight was still significantly reduced two years later. This amounted to a 5.4 percent reduction, compared with a 3.7 percent increase in an age-matched control group.
After 3 days of dieting, you can eat your normal foods but do not overeat. After 4 days of normal eating, start back on the 3 day diet.
