About The 3 Day Cardiac Diet
The 3 Day Cardiac Diet is a popular “fad” diet based on original 3 Day Diet. The new derivative was allegedly created by the Birmingham Hospital in Alabama to help cardiac patients lose weight quickly in order to prepare for surgery.
The history of this diet is purely conjecture and most likely untrue. The idea that a Hospital would need a patient to lose weight for surgery is odd, and the idea that they would need patients to lose weight quickly and with an unhealthy diet is absurd.
Before attempting the 3 Day Cardiac Diet you should consult you family physician or a nutritionist to see if the diet is right for you.
How the 3 Day Cardiac Diet Works
The 3 Day Cardiac Diet works by combining a series of meals that must be followed exactly for 3 days. Then eat “normally” for 5 days and repeat if you are interested in continued weight loss. The diet works by creating a distinctive metabolic response that will allow you to lose up to 10 pounds in just 3 days. The menu must be followed exactly or you will not los the advertised 10 pounds. The 3 Day Cardiac Diet does not require or include any exercise plan during or after the length of the diet.
