Human beings like quick fixes. Long term solutions often work better,

but they often take a long time to show results and require a long term commitment. Both elements are troublesome. Weight loss is no different. People who want to lose weight are always on the look out for the fast weight loss diet. The problem is that fast weight loss usually means yo-yo weight loss, the pounds return after the diet ends. Many fast loss diets are fad diets that don't work, but if integrated into an overall eating plan they can have benefits.

This three day diet will help you shed the weight. But remember, it must be part of an overall eating plan and should not be maintained for more than three days

On day one breakfast consists of black coffee or tea (with Sweet & Low or Equal) or a glass of water, one half Grapefruit or 8 ounces of Juice, and one piece of toast with one Tbsp. Peanut Butter. Lunch consists of half a cup of Tuna on one slice of toast and black coffee or tea (sweetened with Sweet & Low or Equal) or a glass of water. Dinner is three ounces of some type of lean meat, one cup of green beans, one cup of carrots, one cup of vanilla ice cream, one medium apple, and as always black coffee or tea (with Sweet & Low or Equal) or a glass of water.

On the second day breakfast consists of black coffee or tea (with Sweet & Low or Equal) or a glass of water, 1 egg (any style,) one piece of toast, and one banana. Lunch consists of one cup of cottage cheese or tuna, 5 saltine crackers, and black coffee or tea (with Sweet & Low or Equal) or a glass of water. Dinner is two beef franks or hot dogs, one half cup of carrots,one banana, one cup of broccoli or cabbage, one half cup of vanilla ice cream, and black coffee or tea (with Sweet & Low or Equal) or water.

And finally day three breakfast is black coffee or tea (with Sweet & Low or Equal) or water, 5 plain saltine crackers, one oz.(slice) cheddar cheese, and one apple. Lunch is 1 hard boiled egg, one piece of toast, and black coffee or tea (with Sweet & Low or Equal) or a glass of water. Dinner is one cup of tuna, one cup of carrots, one cup of cauliflower, one cup of melon, 1/2 cup of regular vanilla ice cream, and black coffee or tea (with Sweet & Low or Equal) or a glass of water.

Cottage cheese can be substituted for tuna, an orange can be substituted for grapefruit, frozen yogurt can replace the ice cream, and as much lemon, salt and pepper, and mustard can be used as needed. Please remember that this fast weight loss diet is a three day diet, only to be followed as part of an overall healthy diet. Another great idea is to ask the local hospital what they serve to patients on low calorie diets.
