If you’re looking to jumpstart your weight loss or just looking to lose a few extra pounds fast, the 3 Day Liquid Diet may be right for you! This diet is meant to purge your system for three days and then you’re supposed to gradually add food back into your diet.
Sometimes it can be difficult to get on a diet routine when we’re used to eating whatever we want. Cravings and temptations might make it too difficult to stick on a diet for more than a day. It can be very beneficial to your body if you go on a 3 Day Liquid Diet or fast, because it kind of resets your internal computer (so to speak) and you’ll find that the cravings aren’t so bad (if you have them at all).
The 3 Day Liquid Diet consists of drinking protein shakes four times a day for three days and then gradually adding regular food back into your diet.
Its suggested that in addition to drinking a healthy protein shake 4 times a day, you should be taking a good multivitamin and drink plenty of water. Its important that you stay hydrated during this diet. You’ll slowly increase your caloric intake to 1300 calories a day. For the three days you’ll be on the diet, your total calorie intake is between 800 and 900 calories a day.
After three days on this diet, you should continue to use liquid protein shakes, but use them in between meals as snacks instead. You can continue to use a protein shake as a meal replacement at breakfast time. Lunch and dinner will consist of 1 baked chicken breast or fish and 2 non-starch vegetables.
The best liquid protein shakes to use consist of whey protein or protein shakes used by bodybuilders, such as Met-Rx.
Here is a recipe for making your own whey protein shake:
3 packets of Splenda
3 ice cubes
8 ounces of low-fat milk or unsweetened soy milk
2 scoops of whey protein powder
After 2 weeks on this program, you can add in a starch vegetable for lunch and dinner.
Day 1 to 3
Meal 1 Protein shake
Meal 2 Protein shake
Meal 3 Protein shake
Meal 4 Protein shake
Drink eight 8 ounces of water and take a multiple vitamin.
