3 Day Diet Plan

3 Day Diet Plan

The 3 Day Diet Plan is a fad diet created in the 1980s and was originally called simply the 3 day diet. Since then the diet has seen many variations and been called many names. The 3 Day Cardiac Diet, the 3 Day Hospital Diet, and the Miracle 3 Day Diet are just a few of the identities by which the 3 Day Diet Plan is known.

No matter what the name the 3 day diet plan is going by, it often times has a very similar meal plan and generally all iterations have little to no exercise associated with them.

What is the 3 Day Diet Plan?

As I mentioned before the 3 day diet plan has many adaptations. Instead of explaining each of them in this article I am going to outline the general concept and meal plan for the original 3 day diet. If you are interested in learning the details of the other variations of the 3 day diet plan I suggest searching our website for them as we have explained the majority of them in detail on their own pages.

The 3 Day Diet Plan has a very simple concept. Follow 3 days of eating a specific meal plan without doing any exercise and your body will create a metabolic reaction that will help you lose 10 lbs in just 3 days.

The 3 Day Diet Plan Menu:

Day 1

Breakfast

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

1/2 grapefruit or juice

1 piece toast with 1 tablespoon peanut butter

Lunch

1/2 cup tuna

1 piece toast

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

Dinner

3 ounces any lean meat or chicken

1 cup green beans

1 cup carrots

1 apple

1 cup regular vanilla ice cream

Day 2

Breakfast

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

1 egg

1/2 banana

1 piece toast

Lunch

1 cup cottage cheese or tuna

8 regular saltine crackers

Dinner

2 beef franks

1 cup broccoli or cabbage

1/2 cup carrots

1/2 banana

1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream

Day 3

Breakfast

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

5 regular saltine crackers

1 ounce cheddar cheese

1 apple

Lunch

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

1 boiled egg

1 piece toast

Dinner

1 cup tuna

1 cup carrots

1 cup cauliflower

1 cup melon

1 cup melon

1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream

In addition to its strict daily food prescription, dieters drink 4 cups of water or non-caloric drinks daily.

Is the 3 Day Diet Plan Healthy?

Before you start any diet I would suggest consulting your family’s physician. The 3 Day Diet plan is not recommended to be performed for more than 3 days, and does not combine healthy eating or exercise which are the 2 necessities in losing weight and being healthy.

Doe the 3 Day Diet Plan Work?

I personally have never attempted the 3 day diet plan.  For me I do not like the idea of following a fad or yo yo diet. The 3 days diet does not incorporate exercise and in my opinion may help you lose weight that will be gained back once you begin eating in your normal fashion. The 3 Day Diet Plan may work for you, but theorist believe that the majority of weight lost on this plan is water weight, and is not fat.  As I said before be sure to speak with you physician before starting any diet to see if the 3 day diet plan is a viable option for you.

3 Day Diet Tuna

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

As you have seen on this site, there are an abundance of day diets to choose from and the 3 day diet tuna is one that is fit for anyone that is in love with tuna. Now, if you are not a big fan of the 3 day tuna diet, then maybe you might want to try out something else along the lines of a 3 Day Grapefruit Diet or 3 Day Chemical Breakdown Diet. All of these diets are based on 3 day fad diets and could yield the results you are looking for to achieve.

History of 3 Day Diet Tuna

Like most fad diets, the 3 day diet of tuna was born in the 1980′s, particularly 1985, like most of the other fad diets. It is our opinion that this diet and all the rest are the result of the MTV, super model culture that seemed to have boomed in the 80′s. People with exposable income, a television, and a desire to be prettier, slimmer than they currently are were looking for ways to ditch the weight fast.

As a result, the fad diets were born. In fact, most people thought these 3 day fad diets, like the 3 day diet tuna, would not be around for very long, but they denied all common wisdom and are still here with us after the first decade of the 2000′s. Guess they are here to say.

The Intent of the 3 Day Diet Tuna

The intent of this diet, like the rest of the 3 day diets, is to increase the metabolic rate in the body and keep the person as regular as possible. Increasing the metabolic rate will ensure that you burn as much and many calories as possible during the day. And keeping you regular will remove the waste from your body and the additional pounds that you are carrying.

These two goals are attained by controlling the amount of calories that you consume during the diet, eating certain foods that will increase your metabolism in the body, and also eating foods and fruits that will keep you in the bathroom cleaning your own system out the natural way.

3 Day Diet Tuna Menu Protocol

If you are looking for a lot of variety in your fad diet, then you have come to the wrong place. These diets tend to have a very strict diet plan and deviation is not in the play book. You have a certain break down that you need to follow and that is it. We are making it seem more difficult than it is. It is only for three days, so if you are looking for the results, you have to follow the plan. Besides, if you like tuna, then you should not have any problem with this diet.

The three day tuna diet requires you to follow this routine for 3 full days

Breakfast Meal

  • Coffee or Black tea (no sugar or sugar substitute) or alternatively water
  • 100% Fruit Juice or 1.3rd of a grapefruit
  • 1 slice wholemeal toast or bread (1/2 tbsp low-fat peanut butter)

Lunch Meal

  • 1 slice wholemeal toast or bread, no spread
  • 1/2 cup canned tuna (not tuna in oil)
  • Ideally water, diet soft drink, black tea, coffee (no sugar or sugar substitute)

Dinner Meal

  • 2-3 ounces of white lean meat (fish or chicken are good choices)
  • 1 cup green beans/broccoli or similar vegetable
  • 1 cup grated carrot
  • 1 apple
  • Ideally water, diet soft drink, black tea, coffee (no sugar or sugar substitute)

Items can be substituted for similar foods of the same calorie content.

3 Days Diet

Friday, May 21st, 2010

Life, working, family, and the 3 days diet can lead to a ton of stress in the life of one person. But if you are looking to lose some quick weight for an event, class reunion, or trying to fit into that dress that you bought last year, then the 3 day diet might be exactly what you need.

History of the 3 Days Diet

Like most fad diets, the 3 days diet was born out of the craze of 1985, where millions of people all of a sudden went on this short crash diet. It was unbelievable and many of us attribute this time period to the MTV show that swept the nation plastering beautiful, young, fit women in front of our eyes making the rest of us feel inadequate.

Many of these diets like the 3 day cardiac diet, 3 day chemical breakdown diet, 3 day grapefruit diet and even the 3 day tuna diet were born during this time, so our 3 days diet is not totally out of the ordinary.

3 Days Diet Warning

There are some cautions that I want to throw out to you before we get into the day diet menu plan. And those cautions include acknowledging that this diet will not give all the nutrients and ingredients you need to lead a healthy, active life, so do yourself a favor and be sure not to use this diet back to back cycles or even more than once in a month.

How the 3 Days Diet Works

The 3 days diet centers around making sure that you only have certain foods during the time period, a minimal amount of calories, and enough fruit and other materials to get your enzymes working properly while your metabolic rate increases to maximize calorie burn.

Each day you follow a specific meal plan that we will provide below for your benefit. There is not much fluctuation to this diet as it is pretty specific, so don’t expect a lot of variety in your choices. Just take what is offered, stick with the plan, and give it a shot for 3 days.

3 Days Diet Meal Plan

Day 1

Breakfast

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

1/2 grapefruit or juice

1 piece toast with 1 tablespoon peanut butter

Lunch

1/2 cup tuna

1 piece toast

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

Dinner

3 ounces any lean meat or chicken

1 cup green beans

1 cup carrots

1 apple

1 cup regular vanilla ice cream

Day 2

Breakfast

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

1 egg

1/2 banana

1 piece toast

Lunch

1 cup cottage cheese or tuna

8 regular saltine crackers

Dinner

2 beef franks

1 cup broccoli or cabbage

1/2 cup carrots

1/2 banana

1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream

Day 3

Breakfast

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

5 regular saltine crackers

1 ounce cheddar cheese

1 apple

Lunch

Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

1 boiled egg

1 piece toast

Dinner

1 cup tuna

1 cup carrots

1 cup cauliflower

1 cup melon

1 cup melon

1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream

In addition to its strict daily food prescription, dieters drink 4 cups of water or non-caloric drinks daily.

Again, the 3 days diet isn’t recommended that you use consecutive days as this could lead to health problems, but it can be effective for short term weight loss if you are diligent and active during your day.

3 day diet lose 10 pounds

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Looking for a 3 day diet, lose 10 pounds, and fit into that dress you purchased last year or something similar? Great, then you have come to the right place because we are going to discuss the possibilities and more here today.

But before we jump head first into the material, let’s cover some of the basics on why you would want to lose 10 pounds in three days and also the history of the 3 day diets.

Why the 3 Day Diet to Lose 10 Pounds?

As mentioned in the opener, you may need to squeeze into that dress that you have always wanted to wear. Or maybe you just want to look good for your 15 year high school reunion. Whatever the reason, you need the weight gone. And obviously, you have waited to the last minute to try and blast off 10 pounds at the last minute. I take it that you only have that many days left until your even or else you could have went for the 4 day diet, 5 day diet, 7 day diet, or even the 90 day diet to ensure that you had a better chance of hitting your 10 pound weight loss goal.

History of the 3 Day Diet

As mentioned in some of our other articles, the 3 day diet rose to life during 1985 when the fad diets hit the scene and started saturating the weight loss market. These diets were not to make it out of the roaring 80′s, but somehow they did and many people are sticking with them today. Obviously there must be some truth to them and the fact that they work.

How does the 3 day diet work?

The concept behind the three day diets is to get your metabolism rate up as high as possible. This way your body will be able to burn the calories you need in order to achieve maximum weight lost. In addition to raising the metabolism rate, the secondary goal is to get your regularly using the bathroom to excrete the excess waste in your body and make sure you are clean, light, and flowing as possible.

These results are achieved by the various types of food that you consume during this diet. Let it be know that losing 10 pounds in three days is rarely recommended by the various health associations, but it is possible if you are willing to stick with it and work hard.

To increase your chances or likelihood of achieving this goal, you should probably do some physical fitness to maximize the metabolism rate in your body and to help you burn those calories.

The 3 Day Diet

Alright, enough of the build up, let’s get into the basics of the three day diet, the plan, so you can figure out if this is the right diet for you and discover if you can really lose 10 pounds in three days. The thing about fad diets is they all work differently for different people, so you have to test your results, then you will know if it is right for you.

Warning: It is not recommended that you try the 3 day diet or any other fad diet in succession. We would say don’t try these diets more than one time in a month or more. You just don’t want your body suffering because these diets lack all the central ingredients to a healthy diet.

3 Day Diet Plans

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Believe it or not there are a lot of 3 day diet plans out there to choose from. And it can be quite overwhelming trying to decide which is the best for you and your needs. Well, relax because we are going to go over a few of the major ones for you to choose from and knock out the anxiety of having to start from scratch with your research. Leave that to us and you focus on losing the weight as healthily has possible.

3 Day Diet Warning

Before we get into the content and the various diet plans that you have to choose from, I would be ashamed if I didn’t take a paragraph to tell you that not all diets, or even 3 day diet plans, are good for you. In fact, in many cases the total opposite is true. They can be very bad for you. The ones that we have selected in this piece are not as bad as many we have seen, but you should still proceed with caution. And please, please, please do not do any 3 day diet back to back times. This can be very dangerous to your health as many of these diets lack all the proper nutrition you need to survive, thrive, and be healthy.

3 Day Diet History

The 3 day diet craze was born in 1985 with all the other fad diets that came out of the era. It is my opinion, that people had more discretionary spending, time on their hands, and with the birth of the MTV generation there were more and more beautiful and thin people on the television. This made the self image of the people a little lower than it had been in previous decades and thus they started to want to look like the beautiful celebrities on tv and needed to reshape their physical appearance. This was the launch of the fad diets that saw everything from apple diets to nothing but vegetables. The 3 day diet plans were born in these times and wasn’t expected to make it out of the 80′s, but these fad diets fooled everyone and is still around.

Types of 3 Day Diet Plans

Now that the warnings and history are out of the way, let’s get into the different types of 3 day diet plans that are out there for you to explore, consider and try. Remember, there is no replacement for regular physical fitness and property eating of nutritional foods, but a short lived diet can produce the short term results that you might be looking for. Let’s take a look at the more popular diet plans.

3 Day Diet

The basic 3 day diet is the basis for all the other types of diets in this category. And when people mention this diet, they could be really talking about any one on the list. Nevertheless, the aim of this diet like the other 3 day diets is go get the metabolism rate up and increase the regularity of your bowls to remove the access waste from your body. The increase in metabolism is done with the aim of increasing the rate at which you burn calories.

3 Day Cardiac Diet

This diet is rumored to be good for heart patients as they lose weight for surgery. Don’t fall into this myth as it has been debunked quite a few times, but it is effective at doing what 3 day diets were intended to do, which was increase the metabolism and regularity of the body.

3 Day Chemical Breakdown Diet

This diet falls into line with the rest of the 3 day diet fads with an extra emphasis on breaking down the food and waste in your body for removal. More fruits and vegetables are used in this process and it seems to be quite effective at keeping you regular.

3 Day Grapefruit Diet

As the name implies, grapefruit is the key ingredient in this diet. And no, you don’t have eat only grapefruit for this diet, but you will digest more than you would in a typical three day span. I don’t really mind this diet at all as I love grapefruit and it is true, they are good and healthy for you.

3 Day Heart Diet

As with the cardio diet, this 2 day heard diet plan is suppose to be good for your heart and patients as they wait for surgery. And as mentioned earlier, this myth was debunked. Nevertheless, if you are interested in this diet, it is healthy for you if done one time and not in successive intervals.

3 Day Hospital Diet

As we mentioned in the introduction, 3 day diets come in many different names and are often the same thing. It just depends on who you are talking to at the moment. The 3 day hospital diet is similar to the cardio and heart 3 day diets as well. The myth has been debunked about the patients, but the plan is good and healthy for you if you are able to follow it up with regular exercise and property, healthy eating.

3 Day Tuna Diet

The 3 day tuna diet is not one for me, but I am not a tuna kind of person. But as the name indicates, you will be eating tuna pretty much with each meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you can stomach tuna or even like it, this might be the diet plan for you.

Which 3 Day Diet Plan is right for You?

This is a question that only you can answer. Take a moment to visit each of these diet plans as they are linked in the article. Find out which one fits more with your lifestyle and taste buds. Then, go for it. It is by only by investigating and trying the 3 day diet plans will you be able to find the one that is right for you, your body, and your needs.

3 Day Miracle Diet

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

There are many people looking to lose weight and would like do it sooner than later, the 3 day diet might be the solution that you are looking for. Just beware there is much more to keeping the weight off than temporarially loosing it.

About the 3 Day Miracle Diet

All of the 3 day diet fads are a by product of 1985. It was an interesting time period as the health of the society started to become a great priority. If you think about our society dating back to the 1940′s, 1950′s, and 1960′s, these were times of great expansion, rising incomes, and industry. Money started to roll through the country and as the hypnotic phases of the 60′s and 70′s wore off, people woke up in the eighties with a new vision.

This group of adults were living the American dream, had disposable income, the MTV generation, and wanted to improve their outside appearances. This is when the diet, weight loss and fitness craze really gained its legs.

Out of this time period came the fad diets that promised everyone could lose anywhere from 5 to 50 pounds in just a matter of days and weeks. The three day diet fads really gained steam as well during these times. Some of the others are 3 day heart diet, 3 day hospital diet, and the 3 day tuna diet and many more.

How the 3 Day Miracle Diet Works

The idea behind the 3 day miracle diet is to get your body’s metabolism rate up so you can burn energy and fat, while developing your digestive system along the way to keep your system clean and flushed out. If this is done effectively, proper feeding and dieting can be effective in a short period of time, but in most cases it is not recommended.

The key to any diet or eating plan is to listen to your body and follow it’s lead. If your body is telling you that it is hurting and needs some rest, then follow the bodies orders.

The 3 Day Miracle Diet Menu Plan

Enough of the talking, let’s get to the good stuff and show you the menu plan so you an make a decision on if you want to pursue the 3 day  miracle diet.

Day One

Breakfast: Black coffee, water, or tea; half of a grapefruit or pink grapefruit juice; and one slice of toast with 1 or 2 tablespoons of peanut butter

Lunch: Black coffee, water, or tea; 1/2 cup of water-packed tuna; and one slice of dry toast

Dinner: Black coffee, water, or tea; 3 oz lean meat; 1 cup green beans; 1 cup beets; 1 cup vanilla ice cream; and one small apple

Day Two

Breakfast: Black coffee, water, or tea; one egg, any style; one banana (some versions say 1/2 banana); and one slice of dry toast

Lunch: Black coffee, water, or tea; 1 cup of cottage cheese; and five saltine crackers

Dinner: Black coffee, water, or tea; two hot dogs; 1/2 cup carrots; 1 cup broccoli (or cabbage); one banana (some versions say 1/2 banana); and 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream

Day Three

Breakfast: Black coffee, water, or tea; five saltine crackers; one egg (or one slice cheddar cheese); and one 4-oz glass of apple juice

Lunch: Black coffee, water, or tea; one hard-boiled egg; one small apple; and one slice of dry toast

Dinner: Black coffee, water, or tea; 1 cup tuna, chicken, or turkey; 1 cup cauliflower or green beans; 1 cup beets; 1 cup cantaloupe or one small apple; and 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream

3 Day Miracle Review

I can’t properly review the 3 day miracle diet because I haven’t tried it. It seems like it is a decent solution for a short term problem, but without an healthy sustained way of eating and living, then your results will not be permanante.

I would caution that you do not repeat the 3 day miracle diet back to back at any time. Your body needs a wide variety of fruits, vegetable, and vitamins in order to survive and they are not included in this diet consistently.

Have you tried this diet? Have questions? Follow along in the forum for more information on the 3 day miracle diet.

3 Day Cardiac Diet

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

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.

The 3 Day Cardiac Diet Plan

Day 1
For Breakfast have ½ Grapefruit or Juice, 1 slice of dry toast, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, and 1 cup of black coffee or teas. Then at lunchtime have a ½ cup of tuna, 1 slice of dry toast or 1 oz of cheddar cheese. For dinner have 3 oz. of any type of lean meat, with 1 cup of string beans, 1 cup of carrots or beats, 1 small apple, and 1 cup of vanilla ice cream.

Day 2
For Breakfast have 1 egg, 1 slice of dry toast, a banana, and a cup of black coffee or teas. Then at lunchtime have 1 cup of cottage cheese or a ½ cup of tuna, 5 saltine crackers, and a cup of black coffee or tea. For dinner have 2 beef franks, 1 cup of cabbage or broccoli, ½ cup carrots or turnip greens, ½ of a banana, and ½ of a cup of vanilla ice cream.

Day 3
For breakfast have 5 Saltine crackers, 1 oz. of cheddar cheese, 1 small apple, and a cup of black coffee or tea. Then at lunchtime have 1 hard boiled egg, 1 slice of dry toast, and a cup of black coffee or tea. For dinner have 1 cup of tuna, 1 cup of beans or cauliflower, 1 cup of carrots or beets, 1 cup of melon, and ½ cup of vanilla ice cream.

It is also important that you keep hydrate by drinking lots of water and there are suggestions that you may replace the coffee and tea with diet soda. However for best result it is recommended that you follow the meal plan exactly.

3 Day Weight Loss Diet

Monday, May 17th, 2010

In today’s “need it now” society people are commonly looking for the fastest and easiest ways to achieve large amounts of weight loss. And since 1985 the 3 Day Diet has continued to intrigue would be dieters by advertising up to 10 lbs of weight loss in just 3 days. But does it work and is it healthy?

Is The 3 Day Weight Loss Diet Healthy?

No. Losing 10 lbs of weight in just three days is very unlikely unless you are obese. If you are able to achieve these results it is most likely water weight that was lost and not fat. Which means you will eventually regain the weight that you lost once you return to your normal daily routine.

The 3 Day Weight Loss Diet is not a healthy way to lose weight. A balanced nutrition and exercise plan will allow your body to burn fat and build muscle that will help you become healthier and reach your goal weight more quickly than any yo-yo or fad diet.

The 3 Day Diet is often misnomered to as the Cleveland Clinic 3 Day Diet. Spokesperson Cindy Moore for the Cleveland Clinic says the clinic has no official diet and does not recommend patients or anybody participate in the 3 Day Weight Loss Diet.

Cindy was quoted by WebMD as saying

“Hands down, the 3 Day Diet is not conducive to changing habits or encouraging a healthier lifestyle, which are fundamental to weight control,”

and

“It is an urban legend that is not nutritionally sound, and the only reason it causes weight loss is because it is so low in calories, not because of any food combinations or metabolic reactions.”

About the 3 Day Weight Loss Diet

Throughout the last 3 decades the 3 day diet has grown and fell in popularity. It has been modified and has evolved to include and excluded different ideas, foods, and even a day of fasting in some rare cases. The one item that has consistently remained absent from the 3 day diet is any type of exercise plan.

I do not recommend participating in the three day diet as it will not help you build or maintain a healthy lifestyle, body, or relationship with food and exercise. And will not help you lose weight in a healthy way.

However if you are still interested in learning more about the 3 day diet search our website for 3 day diet menu or some of the other variations of the diet such as the 3 day apple diet or the 3 day army diet.

I consider the 3 Day Diet to be a yo-yo diet because it does not incorporate any type of exercise plan, or any long term goals or nutrition plans. If you complete the diet, which only lasts 3 days, you will quickly regain the weight and then need to restart the diet. You will be starting and stopping and continuously gaining and losing weight, much like the perpetual motion of a yo-yo.

3 Day Diet Menu

Monday, May 17th, 2010

When it comes to the 3 Day Diet, most people want to know about the menu. You know, what types of foods will the be consuming for those 36 hours of weight loss glory?

3 Day Diet Menu Depends

Believe it or not, there are a variety of 3 day diets that you have a chance to choose from and depending on what the diet is will determine the menu or the food and drink that you will be consuming. Some of the more popular 3 day diets include the 3 day Cardiac Diet, 3 Day Chemical Breakdown Diet, 3 Day Heart Diet, 3 Day Hospital Diet, 3 Day Tuna Diet, and a few more that we will leave out for now.

Common Ground Among the 3 Day Diets

There are some common ground when it comes to most three day diet structures, so let’s take a minute to observe them now. The first is the most obvious, the diets run for three consecutive days over a 72 hour period. This is why they call them a 3 day diet, but I am sure you figured that one.

The next commonality that they both have is that you shouldn’t be doing them back to back. Meaning, there shouldn’t be two consective or more three day periods that you are following any of these diet. Some of the 3 day diets might be healthy and not a problem for you, but they shouldn’t be done in succession to one another. Many of these diets leave out other essential ingredients that you need to survive in order to raise your metobolic rate and flush the system at an higher pace than normal. Therefore, you need a period for your body to stabalize before engaging such diet behaviors again.

About the 3 Day Army Diet

The 3 Day Army Diet is an introduction to a broader diet and exercise regimen that a solider would experience while training in boot camp. When preparing for boot camp you must be prepared to take a series of tests that require certain metrics to be met involving weight, number of pushups, number of sit-ups, and a running requirement. The 3 day army diet will outline a high protein and low fat nutrition plan and an introduction workout program to reach these goals and lose weight quickly.

3 Day Army Diet Nutrition Plan

The 3 Day Army Diet Nutrition Plan includes eating foods that are high sources of Protein. Lean fish (salmon), chicken, turkey, tuna and egg whites allow you to create an array of satisfying meals that are extremely high in protein, low in tran-saturated fats, and will help build and repair your muscles. Eating asparagus and other fresh green vegetables will create a balanced nutrition plan. Do not eat canned vegetables because they are high in sodium and will make your body retain water. Do not drink any soda, juice, or alcohol during the 3 Day Army Diet. Water and 1% or fat free milk will keep you properly hydrated and provide nutrients without any unnecessary sugar. Finally reduce you daily intake of carbohydrates, but do not eliminate them as they are a source of energy for fat burning cells in your body.

3 Day Army Diet Exercise Plan

Begin each morning by completing as many standard (male) pushups as you can. Without resting between sets immediately turn to your back and do as many crunches as you can. After you have completed a set of each rest for 30 seconds and begin the process again and repeat it until you can no longer perform the exercise while maintaining good form.

Entry exams for basic training require you to complete a specific number of pushup and sit-ups within a minute. By performing both of these exercises with little rest between sets you will be improving your cardio and muscular strength allowing you to be better prepared for each test.
