By following the Three-Day Diet, people who want to lose a few pounds are assured of sliding into their favorite jeans quickly. This low-calorie plan limits salt intake, and helps people drop water weight. Drinking coffee regularly throughout the day, curbs hunger pangs and flush out water.

  1. Day 1

    • Drink morning coffee without milk, and use an artificial sweetener like Equal or Sweet and Low. Enjoy a piece of whole-wheat toast with 1 Tbsp. of natural peanut butter. Eat half of a grapefruit. Avoid snacking between meals. Lunch will be 1/2 cup of tuna on a slice of whole-grain toast. Follow this with 1 cup of plain coffee or tea. For dinner, broil 3 ounces of lean meat such as turkey, chicken or fish. Add 1 cup of carrots and green beans to the mix. Give yourself a treat with 1 cup of vanilla ice cream and 1 cup of coffee.

    Day 2

    • Wake up to a breakfast of 1 egg, a slice of dry, whole grain toast, and coffee. It is important to cook the egg without any fat. Season the pan with cooking spray to avoid sticking. Lunch today will be 1 cup of cottage cheese or tuna spread on 5 whole-wheat crackers. Follow with a cup of coffee. Dinner gives you the chance to eat a surprising protein. Eat two hot dogs, preferably low-sodium, all-beef, with 1/2 cup of carrots, and 1 cup broccoli or cabbage. Finish off the meal with 1/2-cup vanilla ice cream with 1 banana sliced on top.

    Day 3

    • Start off the morning with 5 crackers and a slice of cheese. Add some fiber and nutrients with 1 medium-size apple. Drink 1 cup of coffee. Today's lunchtime meal will include 1 boiled egg, 1 slice of whole-grain toast, and 1 cup of coffee. Finish off the day with 1 cup of tuna, 1 cup of carrots, 1 cup of cauliflower, 1 cup of melon, 1/2-cup of vanilla ice cream and coffee.

    Substitutions

    • Dieters often fall off this diet, because of its calorie restrictions and monotony. To change up this regimen, substitute items like cottage cheese for tuna, orange for grapefruit, and frozen yogurt for ice cream. You are allowed to add spices such as lemon juice, mustard and pepper. For moments when the hunger is too much, take a walk, enjoy a hobby, or take out those jeans that were too snug, and lay them out for motivation.

    Remember

    • Check with your doctor before undertaking this diet plan. This diet is not recommended for longer than three days.
