    I wish I had known about MFP when I did that insane cabbage soup diet for the better part of the work week. I know my girls wanted to strangle me by the third day. By the fourth, I was wishing that they WOULD. I don't even remember how much I lost, but I am quite sure I gained it all right back on the fifth day when I said, "SCREW IT!" and ran (not walked) to the cafeteria and inhaled real food. *SMH*

    If it seems to good to be true, it generally is. Patience, willpower, exercise and healthy, nutritional eating (eating being key) is the best way. That's just my opinion though.

    A direct quote from the PDF download of this "diet plan" on their website:
    "Neither the staff nor management of 3 Day Diets are experienced, licensed, or knowledgeable to judge or recommend the validity or safety of this diet. We do not necessarily endorse this diet and recommend that before trying this or any other diet to consult a physician or licensed medical practitioner. Use at your own risk"

    I'm going to go with it not sounding "pretty legit"

    THANK U , SOMEONE WHO IS ACTUALLY ANSERING MY QUESTION , WELL COMING CLOSE TO IT.. THATS HOW I FEEL .. IF YOU EAT REALLY CLEAN FOR THE NEXT FEWS DAYS U SHUDDNT GAIN ALL THE WEIGHT BCK .. A FEW LBS IS UNDERSTANDABLE BUT NOT THE WHOLE 5-7LBS

    If you "eat really clean for the next few days", you would continue losing weight, so why do the 3-day diet anyway?

    You are doing 3 steps forward, 2 steps back diet - just keep going forward if you want real progress.

    Well that escalated quickly since I saw this thread this morning.

    I've been on the 3 day diet, and it works, but the problem is most people, after being so harshly restricted for 3 days, indulge too much after it's done. I lost 7 pounds, but you have to go slowly, like, add 200 calories on the 4th day, then 2 calories again on the 5th day so you go back to 1200. That's how it worked for me. I'm not sure whether it's healthy, but it worked.

    shedding water =/= losing weight

    you cannot truly lose 7 lbs of fat (or muscle + fat) in 3 days unless you burn 24,500 more calories than you ingest during those 3 days.

    to put that into perspective, a 150lb woman would have to go for a 213-mile run at an 8mph pace to burn that many calories.

    that's not my opinion. that's physics.

    Wow....if this is how special and precise the OP is when she isn't on a crazy fad diet....I can't wait to see how fantastical she is when she's on a crazed diet where it makes you cranky and evil and starved for 3 days.

    *grabs popcorn and waits....*

    I'm grabbing a chair.

    People are very quick to judge, different things work for different people I tried the gm diet which is 7 days long, I didn't lose loads of weight but my appetite adapted, which I found a kickstart to a sustainable change in diet. But I always struggled with starting a diet so for me it worked. Some people will always give you advice on what they think is best but i always ask myself when they are commenting on posts if they are such experts in the right and healthy way to live, why are they overweight in the 1st place. Good luck whatever u decide


    I think i did ok without it.

    Being at this profession for a long time, I've seen practically every "diet" plan that's out there. And the ones that promise big weight loss in a few days happen to appeal to a certain type people that I've observed.

    They are usually impatient, desperate, or lack the will to do an actual lifestyle switch. Again this is what I have observed and haven't seen one yet NOT gain the weight back after employing these diets.

    It's diet's like this that are likely to confuse people who are battling weight loss in the first place and makes them susceptible to falling for it because of the claims.

    Do it right the first time.

    Not one. single. person. with demonstrable weight loss in this thread has endorsed this diet. When you see people who have lost and kept off 80 pounds, 100 pounds, (113!) saying "this is garbage," I promise you - they know what they're talking about.

    Instead of telling them how to lose 10 pounds, ask them how they lost 100.

    Heh! I had assumed it was the name of some fossil and intended to google it some time to see what kind of cool critter it was, like an ancestral platypus or something. Just got it now too. That was better than Sixth Sense.
