3 day diet review

linzica · January 2013

so, I was not starved at any point in this diet, but i did have a really hard time keeping away from snacks and it really sucked watching H and Q eat tasty meals while I had to eat 3 ounces of plain meat and a cup of green beans.

There were alot of things in the diet I wouldn't normally eat, like grapefruit (yuck) but the very worst was the final dinner of 1 cup of plain tuna. If i do this again I will use a substitution or buy fresh tuna steak.

I had a hard time with no caffeine and got a nasty headache the second day, but aspirin took care of that and a brisk walk helped alot.

So... I lost five pounds.

Its not ten, but I'll take it. Mainly because it finally got me past the wall I've been hitting for the last six months. I literally have not been able to get below a certain weight, and this helped me get two pounds below it. I will probably put a pound or two back on but I'm hoping as long as I don't go overboard I can continue the weight loss slowly.

I may or may not do this again. I'm really on the fence.

Well, I'm glad you saw some results! Based on what you described, I don't blame you for being on the fence about trying it again.

Hold the phone! That is awesome Linz! A fresh tuna steak sounds yummy!

I have a question... Do you think the weight will just come back on the first glass of wine you drink?

I really want to do this before Vegas, but I do not want to pile the pounds on the day after.

GREAT JOB! What to get over your hump!

I'll let you know where I'm at at the end of the week becca. The other thing I need to consider if that I'm on the rag right now and I usually lose some water weight when thats done, so it could be more by the end of the week. You could certainly try it a week before Vegas and then have a few days for your body to readjust before you go.

I am going to take it easy on the wine the rest of the week though, as I'm pretty sure that's where alot of my extra calories come from. Embarrassed

It sounds like a great way to cleanse without sacrificing. Maybe I'll try it if I ahve trouble getting the baby weight off again?

I told my H I have to limit wine after baby #2. I'll hopefully be nursing but the extra calories really add up. My idea of a glass of wine is much larger than the recommended serving size lol.

Thanks for sharing and great job!
I bookmarked the diet when you posted it...I'm doing a dietbet this month, but like you I've hit a wall and just can't seem to get past one number. I need to lose 3 more lbs by the end of the month in order to win the dietbet (everyone who loses 4% of their starting weight wins a share of the pot). If I'm still stuck towards the end of the month I'll probably try this diet (although I'll be subbing cottage cheese for any tuna because I can't stand it in any form.
Did you use a scale to weigh your meat portions? I've never weighed my food before and I feel like doing so is taking a step into dietland further than I've gone before, and I'm not sure if I want to go that far.

There only thing that went by weight was the first nights meat portion and I kinda just took an estimate based on how many pounds was in the bag. I estimated alot of the portions because my measuring cups got dirty the first day and I didn't feel like washing them.

Congrats on losing five points and getting off that plateau! Glad to hear you weren't starving either. Maybe I'll give that diet a try since you had such good success.
