Advantages: quick weight loss
Disadvantages: you must stick to it
This diet is from the British heart Foundation, it was given to my mum by a friend who works at our local Hospital, it is given to patients who need to lose weight either before operations, or just because they are over weight putting extra pressure on the heart. This diet is very safe, and is proven to work. It is a chemical breakdown diet, not meaning that you can’t eat, but the foods you eat, reacts together hence the weight loss. You must only follow this diet for THREE DAYS, you must not vary or substitute any of the foods, salt and pepper can be used, but no other seasoning, Where quantity is not given, there are no restrictions other than common sense. Toast to be dry – no butter or margarine, tuna, string beans and beetroot can be frozen, Saltine crackers are Tuc biscuits or Ritz biscuits. You must drink 5 x 8oz – glasses of water each day. FIRST DAY BREAKFAST Black coffee/tea Half a grapefruit 1 lice of toast 2tsp peanut butter LUNCH Black tea/coffee 4oz tuna 1 slice of toast DINNER 2 slices of any cold meat 1-cup string beans 4oz beetroot 4oz vanilla ice cream (it doesn’t state it has to be low fat ice-cream, but that’s what my mum used) SECOND DAY BREAKFAST Black coffee/tea 1 egg Half a banana LUNCH 4oz cottage cheese 5 saltine crackers DINNER 2 hot dog sausages (the ones in the tin) 4oz broccoli 2oz carrots 4oz vanilla ice cream THIRD DAY BREAKFAST Black coffee/tea 5 saltine crackers 1 slice of cheddar cheese 1 small apple LUNCH 1 egg 1 slice of toast DINNER 4oz tuna 4oz beetroot 4oz cauliflower 4oz vanilla ice cream My mum and dad tried this diet last week, my mum being five foot two and weighing eleven stone lost ei
ght pounds, my dad being six foot two and weighing fourteen stone ten pounds lost eleven pounds, so it does work. Just remember only do it for THREE DAYS at a time, after which you can eat normally but remember to be sensible and not over do it. You can lose up to forty pounds in a month. So why not give it a go, it is only three days at a time. I have started this diet today so I will up date it, in three days time to let you know how I got on. Good luck. (UPDATE) I lost six pounds in the three days. Although I checked and double checked, this diet is safe, it is NOT a permanent diet, and from personal experience the quicker you lose weight the quicker you will put it back on, unless you continue to eat sensibly. This diet is fine to give your weight loss a boost, but please continue to eat a more structured diet, if you are going to try this. I found this diet fine, but make sure you drink plenty of water, as I found, on the first day I did get a headache from not drinking enough fluid.

- 01/07/04 Actually it is given to heart patients. My dad was given it by his consultant to lose weight quickly so he was able to start exercising. |

- 11/01/03 This 3 day diet is not written by the Heart foundation. I am not saying it does not work but the orgins of where this diet sheet came from are unknown. This diet sheet is not handed out to heart patients to lose weight.
