    I did it a few years ago Pip... it's only 3 days but i. was. MISERABLE, but then I am very much the sort of person who goes into "diet = deprivation" mode... perhaps if you're a bit more determined than me you'll be ok :laugh:
    Did it three days before a last-minute holiday but it just meant that as soon as I had my bikini on I was loitering around the beach BBQ...

    Let me guess it involves not eating much for 3 days and then seeing the scale drop a bit from the reduced water retention tricking you into thinking you actually lost a ton of fat?

    I would guess most peoples' diets last about three days.

    my friend tried it. it was stupid. she was only allowed to eat an egg and black coffee for breakfast or some crazy *kitten* like that. she went mad and ate 2 jacket potatoes when she came out to lunch.

    diet programmes especially fast results ones are all stupid.

    Any quick thing you do today will not make any difference in a year from now. If you want to make a change that will last, you need to commit to it for life.

    Anything that is supposed to be a "quick fix" is not real. What you lose is temporary; meaning its water weight at best.

    If you want to lose weight, REALLY lose weight...you need to make a LIFE TIME change; this isn't a short term change. You are not going ON a diet. You are making a LONG TERM change in your life style your eating habits, your exercise habits. You need to change your way of thinking FIRST and foremost. Diets don't work, life time, long term changes are all that do. Does that mean you can never have things that are on the no-no list ever again? No, it means you learn to eat healthy and within proper calories 90% (or even 80%) of the time and deviate only 10-20% and you stay within a healthy weight and size.

    Life time commitment to health, nutrition and vitality! Are you ready to make the change?

    Hmmm can't say that I have.
    But, I have heard of the 1 day diet. Drink lots of tequila and then vomit everything up next day.
    Happens every weekend :ohwell:
    So what is the 3 day diet??

    Is that the "diet" where you have a kinda strange menu for like a week (day one: hard boiled egg, two ounces of tuna, one grape) and then for three days you pig out, and then have the strange meals again for a week?

    If so, it just does NOT sound healthy or sustainable to me. An overweight co-worker of mine was doing it. She was MISERABLE, but insisted it works because "It's from the Mayo clinic" (or whatever other hospital someone has inserted on the heavily photocopied "diet plan" paper she got from a friend of a friend of a friend). All of us in the office told her that it's not a sustainable diet...she lasted a week and now she isn't doing it anymore.

    I have but I just dont think it would work- thats like taking 2 steps foward and 3 steps back....moderation and moving are key I think for a lifestyle change which is what we are all trying to achieve :)

    I think, if it is the same one I did back 7 or so years ago, and it sounds the same, (Pre-florida vaca, and before I knew better).....yep, you will lose weight. Water weight. It wont stay off. And if it is the same one, you finish up day 3 with stupid amounts of prune juice?.....NOT PRETTY. LOL

    If you want to lose water weight, I would just take some diuretic pills like the week leading up to whatever event (wedding, photo shoot, etc), and maintain a clean diet while drinking plenty of water to help your system flush. You'll lose water weight, and not starve to death.

    People are too impatient. Okay sure, could lose 5 pounds in three days but seriously, could you do that diet for life? And when you do stop, you're just going to pile it back on and more probably?

    Just eat right, healthily and exercise - old fashioned way. Keep it simple!!!
