Understanding The Dangers Of The Three Day Diet
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 promise 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.
Breakfast on the very first day comes with a cup of coffee (no sugar), one half a grapefruit, and a slice of toast with one tablespoon peanut butter. For lunch, you are allowed a can of tuna, a slice of toast, and black coffee. For dinner it's 3ozs of lean meat or chicken, one 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. Supposedly it's possible to lose as much as 10 pounds in only three days.
Hogwash is the answer. The issue is what is a specific reaction to that claim? As stated the metabolic reaction has never been examined much less proven. Any weight loss would be mostly water loss due to a lack of carbohydrates in the body which help the body to hold the water that we all need. At the end of the day this can lead to dehydration which is not desirable for our bodies to function correctly.
Because of binge eating after such starvation and because most of the weight lost is from water, the weight will rapidly return after only the three days. Furthermore, this amount of water loss could result in some serious medical problems one being dehydration. This is when the diet might be useful, then you'd lose some real weight in the hospital.
The three day diet should really be treated as a no day diet. In other words, don't do it unless you wish to suffer many other conditions that could possibly be caused by over use of this diet. - 17269
