The 3 Day Diet
This really does work but you have to follow it exactly for the best results..... My parents have been doing this for about 3 weeks now and my Dad has lost about 25 lbs and went down 3 notches on his belt! My Mom didn't loose as much but she has about 10-12 lbs and also a few inches! My Co-worker and I will be staring this on Monday so I'll let ya know how it goes!
After the 3 Days- you are to follow a sensible meal plan so that you don't put back on the lost weight.
Here's the Diet!
The 3 Day Diet is one of the most popular short-term fad diets around today. Many people adopt the diet to try and achieve short-term weight loss. However, unfortunately most people simply gain the weight back on again.
The 3 Day Diet is simply a low calorie diet (as can be seen by the meal plan). There is nothing magical - no mystical chemical reaction that goes on (as some seem to think). Weight loss is due to a sudden drop in calories - some of this may be fat - but most will be from water loss.
