Lose Up To 10 Pounds In 3 Days On The 3-Day Diet
77
This diet came from a man who attends our church that is in the military. It was my understanding that military people use this diet when they need to get in shape quickly.
Yes, I tried the diet myself, and only was able to go for two days because of hypoglycemic symptoms. I lost 5 pounds in two days. Two of my friends went on it and both of them reported an 8 pound loss in 3 days.

Three days of the diet and three days of 1 hour workouts that include cardio and pilates, I lost 15 lbs.
FABULOUS!!! I'm glad that you got results. Thanks for letting us know how it went!
do you HAVE to drink coffee or tea ? i hate it soo muchhhhhhhhh!!!
Adriana: Try supplementing with water if you can't stand coffee or tea. I'm pretty sure that the results would be close if not the same. Good luck on the diet!
Wow! Sounds almost too good to be true. Thanks for sharing.
Do you know if the results are just specifically water loss or are we actually losing some fat in the make. I know that you said it could be used multiple times in a month. Has anyone done that, and with what results. My birthday is tomorrow, and I am debating if I should try this starting tomorrow or if I should wait until after the big day. I have 3 kids, so I do not think that I will be doing anything too special.
Mammamoosh: Like I said this was from a man in the military. I'd imagine to have great results that you need to be very active. I personally lost five pounds in 2 days and couldn't go on because of hypoglycemic symptoms. Two of my friends were on it for three days and lost 8 pounds each. There will be some water weight loss but if you can lose up to 40 pounds in a month there's got to be some fat in there somewhere I'd assume! LOL By the Way...HaPpY BiRtHdAy!!!
THANK YOU!
I am using calorie count and talking to my doctor to lose this excess baby weight from having twins 10 months ago. So, I think I'm going to give it a try, hey, we all like to see a drop in the scale RIGHT! I like all the food so why not give it a try. And I did the math, you are actually consuming right around 1200 calories- which for a woman is OKAY!
I'll let you all know if I try and when I do what the results are! Thanks again
Morgan: Keep us updated!
Sucessfully ate DAY 1's Breakfast, but becuase of my birthday it slowly changed to a regular day of eating and drinking.
I did have some more questions though.
Egg- Raw or cooked- it specifies Hard Boiled at one point but not at the other
Veggies- Raw or cooked- no specifications
Dairy- Full Fat, Reduced Fat, or Non- Fat?
We are going to start tomorrow- Also I found another one that has cantelope listed as well as 7 oz of meat, and beets
Mammamoosh: If there are no specifications then the choice is yours. I think that most people I know used reduced fat milk and fried their other egg and ate raw or canned veggies. Whatever you like should be fine.
Happy dieting!
Day one down, all I have left to eat is my ICE CREAM.....mmmm....YUMMY. I had to go and buy it because I do not keep it in the house.
I was stuffed after dinner- substituted beets for banana- saw it on another version of 3 day diet and has the same amount of calories - 1/2 banana/ 1c.sliced cooked beets.mmmm
Anyways- the hardest time of day was between 2-4 when I had finsihed lunch and was eagerly awaiting dinner- Thing I have noticed- this is just a really healthy eating plan- maybe it will stick longer than 3 days....who knows...updates to follow!
Yeah, Mammamoosh! I'll be watching for the updates.
Day one down-
So the scale dropped 2.5 pounds since yesterday- and that was weighing in after breakfast and workout- which you are not supposed to do becuase it increases your weight!
Altered today's menu again- beets instead of banana for dinner- and although it says not to- 10 saltines at lunch instead of 5- Calorie intake for the day would have been slightly too low for a healthy day of eating- still 30cal under 1200 but for one day I think it will be okay.
Another update tomorrow-
Does anyone use caloriecount here?
Thanks for the update Mammamoosh. Congratulations on the results!!! I was wondering if you'd share with us things like...how much water are you consuming? How long do you work out and what kind of work out are you doing?
I didn't realize that the calorie count was actually a little low on this diet. Maybe that is why my hypoglycemic symptoms flared up? If it works for you I may try it again with a few alterations to meet my personal needs. Thanks so much for keeping us posted!
I drink water all day long- probably in excess of 64oz- I usually consume 2 32 oz bottles of seltzer water, plus a cup of coffee in the am, plus regular cold water thoughout the day- I would say on some days I might come close to a gallon of water. Its hard to remember to drink water- using small containers like a Nalgene Bottle really helps- add lemon juice too...mmm
Working out- actual time probably varies between 15-45 min per day- I switch it up, stationary bike, elliptical, Turbo Jam, running up and down the stairs- Google 10 lbs in 10 days work out...you can find some great routines for at home or in the office. I'll keep you updated, down 3.6 lbs so far.....
Beginning of Day 3- weighing in a svelte 4.6lbs lighter- thats even 1 pound less than yesterday afternoon- I love watching the scale decrease all day long even after eating! WAHOO.....
Anyways Svelte defintiely does not describe my body figure at all- this is helping me finally take of my 50lbs of baby weight that I gained from my 11 month old twins- gosh it takes forever for this weight to come off-
They (twins) left me chubby at 214 but with the help of this diet I have already gone down to 209.4- that just what I needed for motivation. So hopefully with the help of this I will beable to get back down to 165 yahooooooo....
I'll be keeping you updated...Now- Whats for breakfast today
I have already lost 90 pounds over the last 10 months just with portion control and exercising but I have hit a plateau over the last couple weeks. I am heading on vacation in a week and would like to drop a few more before I go (heading to see family that hasn't seen me or even knows I lost weight). I have gone from a size 22 to a 10. Yeah! Do you think that even though I have lost this much already that this plan would work for me now? And also I am fine with everything on the plan other than tuna - is there some kind of substitute that I could do instead?
Alright- Todays meal plan is SUPER low in cal. only 800 or so. So I have added a couple extras- probably means I will not lose the 10lbs but Id rather not send my body into starvations mode and 5-7 pounds is fantastic.
Becca- I have found altered food choices for this plan- switch up tuna for cottage cheese- 1c to 1c- You might want to use reduced fat cottage cheese though because tuna is much lower in fat- but calorie wise it is equivalent. You also said that you have been watching portion control- Do you know what you total calorie intake is per day- if it is higher than 1200 than yes, this will work for you- if it is 1200 you will probably see the same results- If you try i- up your exercise and check out http://caloriecount.about.com- it has free calorie counters.
I use caloriecount too! It's really helpful. The diet has been going okay for me. I started at 131 and now its the 3rd day and I am 129.6 :/ I was hoping it would be more than that seeing that i feel like I am hungry THE WHOLE DAY while on this diet. I don't know I haven't lost at least 1 or 2 more pounds than that...kind of bummed and i want to lose at least 3 to 4 more pounds by Monday!!
Questions: Is it safe to do this more than 3 days and just continue with day 1?
IF i stop the diet on the 4th day like it says i am supposed to, will i gain back everything I've lost?
Can you drink water throughout the day? Because the way i understood it, you drink at the meal, so I have only been getting about 30 oz. of water a day. I am also kind of afraid that i will gain water weight, and I definetly don't want even water weight to be on me for Monday. I need to look AS THIN AS POSSIBLE!!
Anyone have some extra tips to shed those few extra pounds by MOnday???
Thanks!!
I drink water ALL DAY with this diet- YOU HAVE TOO or else you will become dehydrated and feel awful- aim fro 1/2 gallon to an entire gallon.
Day 3- I broke the diet at lunch- however I just didn't eat what was on the menu- I had 24oz of a fruit smoothie- pineapple, strawberries, raspberries, and apple with ice- nothing added, and about 1 hand full of homeade french fries- Funny thing- was AWESOME so SWEET and equivalent in calories- So, another hinderance on the 10 in 3 do not alter diet- but healhty is better....DON"T you think?!
totally blew the diet plan tonight-
had chicken, salad, bread and cheese at moms house- BUT I didn't drink any wine, didn't eat any extra and still stayed at 1300 calories- which is right in there! So, I will weigh in tomorrow and let you all know how the 3 days left me!!!
Iv'e been using this diet for about 3 months now, and i have not committed to it all the time, lol, but, the first time after the 3 days were up i lost 7 lbs!! and i tend to start it again on July, 1th :) so i can lose weight for my sisters wedding, i just need to know one thing. Do you guys reccomend any exercises considering i got no time for work out classes only at home. ??
So, in all honesty I was only faithful for 2 days- partially 3- But I am happy to say that I am down 5 lbs- Water weight or not- it is what is needed for that extra boost- I'm going to keep my calories low for the next 4 days- between 1300-1400 and then start again. See what it can bring me this time.
I work out at home- things as simple as running up and down the stairs is a good work out- google 10lbs in 10 days exercise routine- it should bring you to an ezine article it is fantastic.
Okay, thanks for the helpful tips. I started the diet yesterday and weighed this morning and even after breakfast - lost 4.4 pounds already. So I am on day #2 and hopefully the success continues. Wasn't even sure this would work after losing 90 pounds already. This may be just what I needed to get off the plateau. Will update with results tomorrow. Thanks! :)
can i substititue the ice cream with coffee creamer ?
OK: Since the diet is said to work on chemical breakdown, those who seem to achieve the best results are those who follow the plan. If the calories are similar, substitutes may be implemented and you may still get great results. However, these results are not guaranteed.
weighing in this morning after day 2 lost 5.8 total, and I have stuck with it pretty good - had the munchies late last night and had a few peanuts and a couple fat free pringles but still did alright - we will see what day 3 brings!
This diet sounds good, I just a few questions. About the grapefruit, I don't like it, can I subsitute anything for it? Also, the tuna and brocolli, anything to subsitute? Another thing, what kind of hot dogs, because there are some that are very high in calories from fat, some are 150 calories from fat-but women should only get 60 calories from fat?
Adriana: Thanks for stopping by. Please refer to the last comment "by me, (blessedmommy)" above.
Ok, I've read all the comments and I will subsitute the tuna for reduced fat cottage cheese. The grapefruit, I guess I will juice it and drink it slowly, it's just one day and 1/2 of it anyways :), the brocolli, really don't like, anyone have any suggestions to subsitute for it? Besides that, I have a feeling that this diet will go well, doing 1 hour workouts a day, like ahorton all the way on top, that lost 15 pounds-I hope that I can do the same, I will keep you posted, congrats to everyone that lost :)
Hey everyone!! So, results of this diet- which I did not stick to faithfully- 5 plus pounds...and THE POUNDS HAVE STAYED OFF!! My reluctance of this just being water weight has been rendered unnecessary!! I have been eating like a pig, drinking beer, even ate McDonalds, take out, Ice cream, everything bad and everything good. Not counting calories at all, probably out of this world! And the weight has stayed of for the last, well it looks like 8 days, so tomorrow I am doing it again. If I haven't gained a thing, not even an ounce, eating like I have been I am hoping to see the same results again, if not better! This has helped me break the awful feeling of seeing the same weight- or a loss of a lb for days even weeks! No substitutions needed this week- Oh and on that note- for those of you who do not like the rec. diet exchanges- Broccoli can be cauliflower- Tuna can be cottage cheese- IT IS THE ACID IN THE GRAPEFRUIT THAT MAKES IT WORK!! Even if you do not like it, try to not substitute. Although this is based on "chemical breakdown" if you google 3 day diet- you will get a variety of different renditions on the menu
Just started today, I'm eating my breakfast now. Mammamoosh, that's really fantastic that you kept it off, maybe that will work for me! What's the difference between cauliflower and broccoli? I mean, they both look exactly the same except the color. I'm hoping this will work! I'll keep you posted.
Broccoli and cauliflower are very similar and almost identical in nutritional value. Here is a link to a great site that will explain how broccoli and cauliflower are both part of the cabbage family and when first growing look almost identical!!
oops!
whole grapefruit
1/4 cup Simply Smart non-fat milk
1 tsp sugar
4 oz meatloaf
13 round ravioli
Oops- guess I kinda faultered on day one- but total cal count was 1313- so Not too bad!!! Found out that we are going to the Great Escape tomorrow- So its going to be a lot of walking, cotton candy, beer....mmm.mmm GREAT DAY TO BE ON A DIET grrrrrrr. We'll do our best- the three days may last this whole week- we do need to see some results though!!!
Almost followed through today. Breakfast: didn't drink the grapefruit :(, but ate the bread and peanut butter, I was surprisingly full for a while! Lunch: ate less than 1/2 cup of cottage cheese :( Dinner: ate he chicken, fruits, and everything except for the green beans :(, I also cheated tonight, I couldn't help it, ate 6 crackers with cream cheese on each of them. Tasted so good, yet so bad mmmm........ I really hope that this will work though, going to exercise tomorrow, running, body exercises and things like that. Gonna keep you posted!
Just finished eating breakfast, day 2 of the diet, haven't seen any changes in my weight or appearance yet. Haven't lost or gained anything....I really hope that this will work, I've tried everything, wasting money on things, a lot of things for years...
ehy evrybdy i really wnt 2 loose dis weight currently i weigh abou 186-90. im belizean n we have alotta heavy foods in our culture do u guys really think i cud kick off atleast 5 pounds in 2 days honestly im willing 2 start dis 2maro!!!
Hey I tried this diet... I lost 7.5 lbs in total after the 3 days.. I think that its great for the initial weight loss, but you do have to keep inmind that you need to get at least 1500 calories a day as a women.. otherwise you will gain all the weight back due to the fact that any food that you eat will be converted into fat to gain energy for your body!!! So, try it for the initial weight loss but just go on a healthy diet after. I have found great results with this and a good workout. Lost 13 lbs in 2 weeks and thats pretty much all fat!
