3 Day Diet
The 3 Day Diet is one of the most popular short-term fad diets around today. Many people adopt the diet to try and achieve short-term weight loss. However, unfortunately most people simply gain the weight back on again.
The 3 Day Diet is simply a low calorie diet (as can be seen by the meal plan). There is nothing magical – no mystical chemical reaction that goes on (as some seem to think). Weight loss is due to a sudden drop in calories – some of this may be fat – but most will be from water loss.
3 Day Diet Meal Plan
This diet is not recommended and should never be used for more than 3 days. This kind of diet is often used by those who experience “yo-yo” weight – it is not a good habit to get into.

Why not try the 100 Calorie Diet which is a healthier method of Calorie restriction.

I am 36 years old, and I am a yo-yo dieter. I have tried all sorts of diets, but I can truly say that this diet really works. But u must follow the diet exactly how they tell u!! U defenitely will lose the weight. I can’t promise u it will be 10 pounds in a week, but u will defenitley lose something. Everybody is different. Two weeks b-4 my wedding, i was still not satisfied with my weight loss(183lbs)(after doing all types of diets). So I did the 3 day diet and lost 12 pounds(171 lbs), so i would say i must have lost 6 pounds each week. I was defenitely satisfied. I felt and looked damn good in my dress. It is a quick fast weight loss, so be careful!! U must eat moderately the next four days of the week. I have gained my weight back and am now back on the diet again.
I am on day 1 and starving!
and kara saltine crackers are just
tuc or ritz crackers

Well, my Niece told me about the diet today and I went out and bought eveything i needed. “wish me luck”
this 3 day diet, is a form of Weight watchers day1 has 22pts,day2 has 24pts. day3 has 19pts. Eating like this will cause you to lost weight not always 10lbs in 3 days. More like 2-3lbs a week. stick with it and you will have healthy eating habits.
it works!!! love it!!
