If you want to lose weight quick and fast short of starving yourself, the popular 3-Day Diet should help you do the trick. Consisting of a complete meal plan (3 times a day), this should help you shed a considerable amount of pounds in just 72 hours.
People have reported amazing short-term results on the diet, with some losing up to 15 to 20 pounds in that brief span. Unfortunately, being a short-term, fast-results program, most people who undergo it end up gaining the weight back in a few weeks.
The diet itself is as simple as can be. There is no magical synergy between the food contents, no special fat-burning effects from anything you consume and no amazing promises. Instead, it is a simple low-calorie program designed to provide just enough food for sustenance throughout each of the three days.
While there are food plans for each 24-hour period, you can just as well use the same meals for the entire duration to minimize preparation work. Few condiments are allowed during the diet to avoid interfering with the reduced calories. You are, however, allowed to spice your food with lemon (as much as you want), a little mustard and a dash of salt and pepper.
