'The 3 Cup Diet'
(For sedentary lifestyle)

When your 3 meals in a day is placed inside these 3 6 oz cups. (Btw : 3 Meals are equivalent to 9 6 oz Cups in one day, and if you feel the urge to eat a snack then just go grab one 6oz cup to fill with snacks.)

Results : more energy, better sleep, not feeling stuffed but, satisfied
My 1200-1400 calorie target is fit inside these 3 small cups.

Any food is better hoewever, try to choose healthier foods.

Mine is protein-packed and little bit of carbs : sunny side up egg/corned beef, white rice, boiled tomatoes with fish sauce

This is by far the best food portion control I've ever done in my life!

    What if choose three 6 oz cups of peanut butter? Is that okay?
    Or...2 cups of smoked almonds, and 1 cup of vodka?


    Even better!

    This type of portion control is not new but other methods I have seen like dividing a plate into regions has more instructions so that the meals are nutritionally balanced.

    Even though I have gotten quite good at eyeballing portions when I need to do it I am always looking for a good alternative portion control system that would be easy to use on vacation. This cup system is not it.

    I wish you the best of luck and I hope you find success with your cups.

    "Day"? As the diet is described in the OP, 2 cups of smoked almonds and 1 cup of vodka would just be breakfast!

    Thats okay! As long as you can follow the 3 cup. However, make sure to still get the nutrients for your bodies by incorporating fiber foods. 😉

    I think all your food for the day is supposed to fit in the cups. Unless you want a snack, in which case you get another cup, but I really wasn’t clear on that part.

    Anyway, I want all my cups to be full of brownies.

    Sometimes when I crave snacks I add chocolate snack on one of my 3 cups 😂
    At least we can be sure we didn't overeat!

    Oh and I do not want to judge because I don't know your situation but if there is anything you can do to move out of sedentary and into a lightly active lifestyle it would be a worthwhile thing to do.

    I do have an autoimmune disease which causes on and off lower extremities paralyzation, thats why I noted that this '3 cupdiet' fits for sedentary people. :)

    This is potentially dangerous advice. Without any guidance about calorie intake and/or nutrition, there's no reason why someone following this "plan" to lose weight wouldn't just fill up their cups with low calorie vegetables, risking both undereating and poor nutrition.

    Don't worry! I'm on a sedentary lifestyle and my height is 4'11-5ft ish. I can definitely fit my 1200 to 1400 calories in those 3 cups per meal and I make sure I have my fiber, my white rice(carbs/grains), and my protein.

    My breakfast goes between 300-400 calories, if I feel the urge to snack I just squeeze in 1 cup of snacks of boiled eggs, lunch goes between 400-500 cals,
    Dinner goes between 300-400 cals.


    Thats why I mentioned the 3 cup diet is for 'sedentary lifestyle. '

    Another thing. I have an autoimmune disease which causes me on and off lower extremities paralyzation.

    This would never work for me. I eat a lot of tomatoes, so if I eat only 3 tomatoes (each of which would fit into a cup) I would end up with less than 100 calories for the day. It's actually horrible for anyone who likes vegetables.

    Actually, I can eat 3 tomatoes in one cup. All I do is slice them. You can do it too 😉
