Is 3 Day Diet Really Works?
Everybody, it seems, is trying strange fads or taking crazy concoctions to lose weight or improve their health. They want to get a slim quick fix to stay slim, or an easy elixer of youth to stay young, or something else equally crazy instead of taking the actual required time to improve health. The latest fad is called the 3 day diet, and it claims that, by consuming what it tells you to, you can lose ten pounds in three days. Come on, are we foolish? It tells you to eat saltine crackers, toast, eggs, tuna, coffee, tea, apples and cheese. All usual stuff, nothing magical or “high tech” in any of it, and in 3 days, you’re supposed to lose all of that weight? I have trouble accepting it.
If it is true, it is probably because of the small amount you eat on the 3 day diet, and it probably is mostly “water weight.” Water weight means that what you lose is mostly water flushing out of your system, and very little body mass is actually reduced. Losing water weight is actually pretty pointless since it just means getting dehydrated. This can be dangerous, and is certainly unhealthy.
The best way to lose weight is the old traditional way. In my opinion, although it takes a little longer but try work out regularly, eat lots of green leafy vegetables and also fruits in moderation. Cut out on processed and fatty foods, and don’t snack between meals. Also, very high carbohydrate food is not really good for your diet either as it will fill you up with calories. This is not a 3 day diet, or even a 30 day diet, but nonetheless, within a couple of months, you will be slimmer and stronger, and happier too.
There are diets that are outright dangerous. The atkins diet, for example, works by throwing your liver into ketosis by eating nothing but lots of protein. This can cause liver damage, and in some cases, death. Nonetheless, it does make you lose weight at a high rate of speed, but once you get off it, you will probably gain the weight right back.
If you are going to get on a 3 day diet project, one thing to contemplate is what kind of work out to do to add to your dieting. Jogging is very good, but can be hard on your knees. Bike riding is a little safer on your joints in the long run. One of the best work outs, however, is swimming, because it is zero impact and work outs the whole body. Personally, I like to swim for at least half an hour every day. Nothing makes me feel stronger or more revived.
