Does It Work? You will likely lose weight on any diet if you eat less than 910 calories a day. But losing 10 pounds in 3 days is both unlikely and unhealthy. To lose just 1 pound of body fat, you need to reduce your daily calories by about 500 a day for a whole week.

Read More »The Promise These days, when even instant cereal isn’t fast enough, we want weight loss now, not later. And who could argue with dropping the weight of a large laptop in just one long weekend? The 3 Day Diet promises exactly that. If you’ve been struggling to budge the scale and you’re tempted to try it, here are the details you need to know. The diet, aimed at people wanting to lose a lot of weight, claims you’ll drop up to 10 pounds if you follow it for three days. The menu consists of three breakfasts, lunches, and “dinners” -- if you consider a cup of tuna fish or two hot dogs, plus fruit and vegetable sides, dinner. A website that markets the diet claims it’s “chemically and enzyme balanced,” though this statement isn’t explained or supported. One thing is clear: You won’t be eating much. On Day 1, you get just 870 calories. Days 2 and 3 aren’t much different. What You Can Eat and What You Can't For three days, you’ll eat extremely basic meals made with foods you may already have in your kitchen. For example, breakfast on Day 1 is black coffee or water, half a grapefruit, and a slice of toast with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Lunch is half a cup of tuna, another slice of toast, and another cup of black coffee (or tea or water). If you’re looking for variety or foodie thrills, you won’t find them here. Lunch on Day 2, for instance, is nothing but a cup of cottage cheese, one hard boiled egg, and some saltine crackers. Sauces, dressings, and even spices are off the list. If you have a sweet tooth, though, you’ll be happy to find vanilla ice cream on the menu each day. Level of Effort: Low The biggest effort you'll make on the diet may be stopping yourself from reaching for more food. Limitations: The menu is what it is, with no room for varied palates or eating preferences, though some web sites say you can swap tuna for cottage cheese and vice versa. Cooking and shopping: This diet is about as low-effort as it gets, short of having meals delivered to your door. Just about the only cooking involved is steaming the vegetables, unless you choose to eat them raw (either is an option). Packaged foods or meals? No. In-person meetings? No. Exercise: It's frowned on because, as one website puts it, “you will not be feeling very energetic" while you're on this diet. Does It Allow for Dietary Restrictions or Preferences? Vegetarians and vegans: This menu is not for vegetarians or vegans. It’s not low-salt, low-carb, or low-fat, either -- just low-calorie.

You could buy gluten-free versions if you chose to, but going gluten-free is not a feature of this diet. What Else You Should Know This diet was most likely not developed by nutrition experts. One web site that offers the diet includes this warning: “Neither the staff nor management of 3 Day Diets are experienced, licensed, or knowledgeable to judge or recommend the validity or safety of this diet. We do not necessarily endorse this diet and recommend that before trying this or any other diet to consult a physician or licensed medical practitioner. Use at your own risk.” When judging any diet, including this one, keep in mind two key pieces of advice from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: First, if a diet sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Second, if you can’t see yourself following the diet for the rest of your life, it’s not for you. Costs: None beyond your shopping. Support: None. This is a diet you do on your own.
