The Three Day Diet

As I mentioned on Monday, I've been allowing myself too

many indulgences lately.

Sorry about the bad picure...darn camera!  I just wanted you to see my face...

it's so chubby right now, I look like I swallowed myself!

Many of you asked about the 3 day diet I was on...so, I asked

my friend Angie if I could share it with everyone and she said YES!

************

First, a few things I want to say about this diet:

1.  Very few calories.

2. It's only meant to be on for 3 days.

3. Make sure you are off the diet for 2 days before going back on it.

4.  The combination of the foods are important, so don't mix things up or change the days/food.

1/2 grapefruit or 1/2 cup fresh squeezed juice

* Do not vary or subsitute any of the foods

*salt & pepper may be used but no other seasonings.

*Water, cofee, tea, diet cola, and sugar free drinks may be used anytime during the three days.

*Sauces, dressings & spices may contain additives and sugars that will affect the efficiency of this diet.  Use with caution.

( I used artificial sweetener for my grapefruit and hot tea...I just couldn't do it without.)



When Angie sent me this diet, I wasn't sure I could make it the entire three days....most of you know I'm about the quantity...and this didn't seem like much!  But, I was feeling pretty down about the way I was feeling and needed a jump start to kick all the sugar I was consuming.  So, I was going to give it the "old college try!"  Ha ha...get it, Angie's my roommate from college!  Anyway, back on track.  Where was I?  Oh yea, I started on Saturday and finished on Monday.  I was not hungry all day on Saturday and Sunday.  I'm not sure if it was because of the combination of food I was eating, or if it was due to the fact that I was feeling really good.  On Monday I was hungry between lunch and dinner and had the carrots that were suppossed to be for dinner a little early.  I only exercised once, and that was for 45 minutes on Monday.  That could be why I was extra hungry that day!

I LOST 5.8 lbs in those 3 days!!

That's huge for me.  I typically don't lose on diets until a good

week and a half to two weeks in.  That's just how my body works.

I like the fact that its 3 days.  I think we can be determined to do anything we set our minds to doing for three days.

I you try it out, I'd love to hear what you thought and how it worked for you!
