3 day diet

A friend found this tucked into a book - tyyped onto a sheet of a4. We looked it up and found it online in lots of places. It is quite a strict diet and I think I'd not manage to stick to it because I'd be hungry. You are supposed to stick to it very closely. I know someone who reckons he's lost a stone in a fortnight by having done this diet twice (once per week) and then eaten sensibly and cut out snacking the rest of the time, he reckons that for two people it costs around £9.00 for three days food.

We're not convinced its a healthy way to diet. Remember it is only supposed to be for 3 days then you go back to eating normally.

saltine crackers are ritz crackers or TUC crackers.

Thoughts about this diet

It is low calories - under 1000 calories of food a day, but is reasonably well balanced and encourages you to eat veg and drink water.
Some of your weight loss would be water.
It may kick start you onto a diet - but you shouldn't feel hungry hungry all the time as this makes you lose concentration. A lot of successful diets enable you to eat as much fruit and vegetables as you like.
