    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

    But, I have heard of the 1 day diet. Drink lots of tequila and then vomit everything up next day.
    Happens every weekend :ohwell:

    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!!!

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

    Very true...but they call them New Years Resolutions...not diets!!! :laugh: :drinker:

    Many of your posts are about quick fixes... perhaps it's time to admit that they don't work. :noway:

    I was about to suggest this. OP - rather than running around all the time looking for a magic solution, why not use MFP every day, log your food, do some exercise and achieve long term success?

    I did a few times to drop weight quick. . its easy. . u follow the diet they tell u for 3 days (as all the chemicals work together to help u) then u eat sensible (not on the diet) for the remainder. . i used to diet monday - wednesday then eat what i wanted (within reason) thurs - sunday. . . . it worked well, made me go to the bathroom way to much and gave me a stomach ach all the time so i stopped but it does work IF you follow it correctly. . i lost 10 pounds in a week and a half before i stopped. . . . it drained all my energy with the lack of sugar but i wasnt starving if you eat a sensible sized portion. . if ur doing the diet and saying ur starving that means ur eating WAY to much in one sitting and you might want to think about eating whats on a saucer plate to educate urself as to what a portion is. . . .

    Ooooh, that looks quite tasty, might try it!

    But 2 things are putting me off. The first is "try and". This is my absolute utmost grammar peeve. You do not "try and" do anything, you "try to". (Put it in the past tense - I tried and lose weight for many years. Or the present continuous - I'm trying and increase my protein. Or a different person - they'll try and break out of their pen, my dogs)

    The other is the exact, precise amount of calories quoted. So half a grapefruit is EXACTLY 41 calories. Nothing about the size of the grapefruit, or how sweet it is.

    This means this idea has been bandied around these forums since day one and all they are is a waste of time.

    I use the 3 day diet as a plateau buster. I didn't drop a pound for over 5 months and was trying everything including eating more calories and killing myself at the gym and walking for over an hour each day. I did the 3 day diet eating pretty much anything I wanted for 4 days in moderation and tue-thurs did the recommended three day diet. I have lost an average ov just under 2 pounds per week and am on my 4th week. It sucks on day three but the first 2 days are ok. After eating what you want after the first week you feel bloated and gross. I learned my lesson and eat in better moderation on the 4 days off and don't get as sick feeling. I think it has worked for me because I am not starving myself for 7 days and denying myself of all food pleasures like dark chocolate and popcorn. I get to eat them every week except for tue-thurs. My calorie consumption on tue-thurs is about 1100-1300 calories. The other 4 free days per week is around 2000-2200. Do what works for you. There is no magic formula for each person. My blood pressure is down, my weight is down and my cholesterol is dropping. I substitute healthier things for the crackers or bread like pita bread at walmart ($1 per 6 pitas) to change things up a bit and add the occasional onion and minched garlic. Sometimes I even put spinach in my egg omelete. I have traded grilled trimmed pork loin and chicken breast for the tuna and I'm down 43 lbs overall. I did body for life and they have a one free day built into their program and I lost crazy amounts of weight doing body for life. Don't let anyone tell you your successfull diet won't work unless it is your doctor and he or she is telling you not to do it because it is unhealthy.
