Diet Day 3!!!

Whoo! It's the end of the final day. I just finished my cup of cantaloupe and I never realized how much I liked it. This morning I lost another 1.5 lbs :)
Today I went with a friend to a Zumba class (its basically aerobic dancing) and it was probably more difficult than usual since I am running on low calories, but it deffinitly wasn't impossible. Food-wise I'm doing alright. I hope doing this will shrink my stomach because I can eat A LOT and if I can get used to eating 5 smaller meals a day I think that will help me in the long run. I can't wait to see the scale tomorrow and eat something different! (Like a salad....)
I think the next time I do this I am going to just make up my own menu and keep it under 750 calories and see if I lose the same amount.
See ya tomorrow!

Diet Day Two

I weighed in this morning and I lost 2lbs! This diet claims you can lose 10 in the 3 days, but I'm not delusional. I am in the 150-130 bracket and I know I wont be losing 10 lbs, but after today's weigh-in I am hopeful for 6.
Today seemed to have a larger amount of food to eat... 2 hot dogs?!? but tonight I really want to eat something else... I like hot tea a lot, and sometimes it makes me feel like I am eating a big cup of soup, but that just isn't doing it for me anymore tonight. The good thing about this diet is that now I just have to go to bed, wake up and have one more strict day, and then I can have something 'normal' in moderation. I already know I am going to try one of those new KFC grilled hot wing things. Which reminds me!! On the diet you can add salt, pepper, mustard, and lemon to your food to season them and thats it. I kinda decided to add hot sauce to that list because I love it and its 0 calories and all sodium (just like salt....)
I am kinda excited to weigh in tomorrow morning :)

Diet Day 1

Day 1 went pretty well. I found another version of the meal plan here: http://www.everydiet.org/diet/3-day-diet and it used carrots instead of beets, so I followed that instead. I don't really want to say what my starting weight was, but I will just let you know what I lose. I am also working on getting some pictures up.
I was surprisingly satisfied today, lunch was a little small, but at dinner I was so full I forgot to eat my apple. The ice cream was a really nice end to the day also, I never knew I liked vanilla ice cream so much! I can't wait to weigh in tomorrow morning :)

What is the 3 day diet?

If you have found my blog I assume you already know what the 3 day diet is, but just incase this is the basics. There is a very specific meal plan you stick to for 3 days, then for 4 days you eat 'normally' and that does not mean pig out on chinese which is normal to me.....
The diet you follow is the following:

Day 1:
Breakfast:
Black coffee or tea/water
1/2 Grapefruit
1 slice toast
2 tbsps. peanut butter

Lunch:
1 can tuna
1 slice toast
Black coffee or tea/water

Dinner:
2 slices any type of meat
plenty of string beans
1 cup beets
1 small apple
1 cup vanilla ice cream
Black coffee or tea/water

Day 2:
Breakfast:
Black coffee or tea/water
1 boiled egg
1 slice toast
1 banana

Lunch:
1 cup cottage cheese
5 saltine crackers
Black coffee or tea/water

Dinner:
2 beef franks (hot dogs)
plenty of broccoli
1/2 cup carrots
1 banana
1 cup vanilla ice cream
Black coffee or tea/water


Day 3:
Breakfast:
Black coffee or tea/water
5 saltine crackers
1 apple
1 slice cheddar cheese

Lunch:
1 hard boiled egg
1 slice toast
Black coffee or tea/water

Dinner:
1 can tuna
1/2 cantaloupe
1 cup beets
plenty of cauliflower
1 cup vanilla ice cream
Black coffee or tea/water

It is very important you follow this diet for only 3 days and then take 4 off because eating so few calories so often will send your metabolism into hibernation and slow it down.

I am 22, I weigh..... more than I want ;)..... and I just got engaged. I refuse to try on any wedding dresses until I lose at lease 15 lbs! For this reason I am more motivated than ever. While I was researching this diet I couldn't find anyone's day by day account of what they thought of this diet, so I decided to make one. I am creating this blog at the end of my second day, but I will make new posts below as if I just started.

Enjoy! I hope this motivates you to lose some weight!
