Ok so today was not AS bad but I'm just about sure that tomorrow (back at work) is not going to work. I have hardly done anything this weekend because I felt ...foggy? Not sure how to explain it. Well...I'll see what the scale has for me tomorrow and then probably go back to the regular eating plan. Even though I don't have 3 days in..in think 2 days ain't bad for the first time trying it...it's definitely rough and I think I should have done more prepping to set myself up better. I'll post my 2 day results tomorrow .

THOUGHT: could the reds be substituted for let's say greek yoghurt to make a tzatzikki sauce for the veggies?

Ok so I had to tap out after 2 days ( I feel like such a whimp ) I still had a 2 day result of 2 lbs. Lost and I take it. Those were two hard days..haha...well next time I know what to expect and will be better prepared...thanks to all for letting me whine and wiper for the last 2 days it's nice to know someone can relate and understand what you go through.

I know exactly what you mean @jpkrueger . I was so full of food i dreaded getting close to eating time again but was not satisfied at all. It took me like 30 min to eat my meals ..long slow chews..lol. - don't get me wrong I'm definitly loving the 2 lbs lost in 2 days it definitely works !

container size

Green container = 1 cup = 8 oz
Purple container = 1 cup = 8 oz
Red container = 2/3 cup = 5 oz
Yellow container = 1/2 cup = 4 oz
Blue container = 1/4 cup = 2 oz
Orange container = 2 tablespoons = 1 oz

Sorry for necro'ing this old thread, but as someone who has eating a ketogenic diet (low-carb, high-fat) for months, I can tell you that the fog and misery some of you are feeling is due to low sodium & potassium. If you supplement with something called Lite Salt (made by Morton's for US people), it contains sodium & potassium. Your electrolyte balance is off. I know the plan calls for no salt, but it's wrong. You need the salt when you're carb depleting and drinking so much water.

Just my two cents. I'm staring the 3DQF on Wednesday and I will definitely be mixing some Lite Salt into my water or using on food.

Doing another round of 3DQF starting today. My initial plan was to start tomorrow but Rob is working an afternoon/night gig and it made sense to just start today, when he wouldn't be home for dinner anyway. I don't expect any surprises. I know this works and how and why. Sunday morning, when I do my weigh-in, I'm sure I'll have lost between 2 & 3 lbs. I've been down this path before, right?

@jpkrueger I am a firm believer in "why put off tomorrow" so I would say start getting on track now and use the 3DQF to give you that last push if you aren't 100% on track.

Here are my pics from day 1, with one meal missing because I totally forgot to take a pictures. Oops!

Day 2

I weighed myself and I was up a negligible 0.2 lb so I assumed it was just an anomaly. Probably my body holding onto water or something. Sure enough, today's weigh-in I had dropped 1.4 lbs so I'm on track. Here's a picture of what I ate plus a breakdown of what everything is.



Meal 1: steelcut oatmeal with a dash of cinnamon and a bit of almond extract, 2 egg whites + 1 whole egg with a dash of onion powder and red pepper flakes

Meal 2: chicken with garam masala and steamed sweet potatoes

Meal 3: tilapia with lemon juice and green beans with All Purpose Blend (from 21 Day Fix Food Plan)

Meal 4: chicken with Southwest Spice Blend (21DF Food Plan) and spinach

Meal 5: cod with Mediterranean Spice Blend (21DF Food Plan) and carrots and broccoli

Meal 6: ground turkey with garlic and Italian Seasoning, grape tomatoes and red onion

BTW, I do not recommend garam masala on the chicken. I love the flavor of this spice blend but it really didn't do much for the chicken, even with the sweetness of the potatoes. Oh well. I give myself an A for effort.

I'm on day 2 of another 3 day quick fix. As boring and annoying as it is...it works. I did it this time for two reasons: one, to get me back on track since I have been very unfocused in my nutrition. Two, to get rid of this bloat I seemed to be carrying as a result of said unfocusedness (yes I know that's not a word but I didn't get much sleep last night). Well yesterday I peed approximately 4827323 times, like every half hour, and same thing today. I'm drinking the same amount of water as I always do so it's not that. My stomach is a little flatter, too. I found some really good hot sauce at Trader Joe's (not too too hot, but hot enough to add flavor) and I'm using that quite a bit to try to make the food at least a little less boring.

As usual - I have a love/hate relationship with the 3DQF. But it's better than a 3-day "cleanse" or liquid diet, that's for sure!!!

@germany03 I only made it through two days last time also! But I'm determined to make it through tomorrow, even though I have the feeling I will have to choke down the food. I am so sick of it!!! Thank you for the encouragement, I am going to do it (I am yelling that last part at myself).

Hmmmm how would you do that tho? Like fill a green with asparagus (for example) and purée it with water? If so I can't see that being a problem.

Fingers crossed @jpkrueger . .but I know you can do it !!!! You have done such an awesome job already and you are only one more meal away !

I seriously wanted to do 3DQF this week before my daughter's birthday but life has been weird lately and food shopping wasn't as organized as it usually is. So today I'm being really strict leading up to tonight's pizza, cake, and ice cream. And wine. A bottle of red for me and my baby girl who turns 33 today.

Enjoy the birthday celebration!!!
