    you seem really smart.

    Stay away from these BS crash diets, it's not a smart choice. You'll probably gain the weight back.
    MFP sets out a perfectly healthy and reasonable plan.

    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.

    So how many of you heard about this diet?

    Ive been doing alot of research and it seems pretty legit. Every meal is pretty balanced but every meal is low in calories.
    I grasped the concept that i will not lose 10lbs of fat but of weight/waterweight.
    I'm not expecting to lose 10lbs just an extra 3-4lbs to add to my weekly loss. Alot of people say you gain the quickly BUT it depends what you eat when you come off of the diet because its obvious your gonna gain weight if you eat burger and fries..

    Has anyone came off the diet and ate very cean and still gained weight?

    What im planning to is the first day coming off of the diet is to eat alot of fruits and veggies and lean protein like eggs, fish and chicken.. then on the second day start introducing complex carbs, like whole wheat toast and by the third day im back to normal eating.

    I wouldnt be mad if i gained back like 1 or 2 lbs, but if im exercising and eating sensely i dont see why i shud gain the lbs back..

    Anyone wanna try it?

    Im starting tomorrow.

    I'm not going to bother reading through the 6 pages to see if you've already been told this. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Check this out:

    I too tried this diet more than once and I lost 4-5 pounds each time. Unlike others I found the dinner meals to be way too much food. If you eat right continuously, there is no reason to say you will gain the weight back. Try it, everyone is different. Plus, the ice cream is a great treat after eating the veggies and hot dogs.

    That very thing crossed my mind... :drinker:


    ETA: I don't know, even with my limited experience, how that could possibly lead to a lasting loss. Why put yourself through three days of h3ll for something that isn't going to be sustainable? If you're gonna do it, you're gonna do it, and nobody's going to be able to talk you out of it. If you get gumpy on reduced calorie days like this, you probably will want to warn those around you.

    Hmm...

    Anything that screams '3 day diet' should be shot, shot again, then shot again before being tarred and feathered then burning it into the great fiery depths of hell. Seriously, if you are looking to lose and KEEP the weight off, do it sensibly and adjust your lifestyle. As someone who as (stupidly) fallen for these sort of fad diets over the years, I can tell you that these sort of diets are temporary and will turn you skinny fat (if you do happen to get there by some great miracle). These diets causes one to lose muscle mass as well as fat, but keep water weight... not to mention depriving your body of essential nutrients that your body needs to survive.

    Lose weight like the rest of us: Eat sensibly, and work out. This is how I did it, and used to weigh 260+. and fad diets did squat. Squats on the other hand give results. ;) There is simply no way around weight loss.

    OK, you have me convinced.

    Maybe my before and after pics werent compelling.

    i work hard, lift heavy, eat right, and kick butt.

    i am 41, and have seen these types of things fail time after time.

    BUT go ahead and do it, and report back here for 4 weeks....


    then i would like you to follow what I do for 4 weeks, and see what kind of results you get.

    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.

    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.

    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.
