I have been looking with interest at the 2 day diet, and in the GI diet thread there was a 3 day diet similar to the one I have. This 3 day diet gives more options than the other one which makes it much more palatable.
My wife and I started this diet 3 weeks ago, and we both lost 4 lbs the first week. I suspect a lot of that was water but nevertheless the weight tends to stay off if you eat sensible the other 4 days. This one like the 2 day is designed to speed up your metabolism. Anyway you can stay on this one as long as you like according to the doctor that gave it to us. We always start on Monday so we can eat the good stuff on the weekend. You can expect to lose at least 1 lb maybe 2 in the subsequent weeks. The good thing about this one is the weight tends to stay off if you continue to eat sensibly after leaving the diet.
