The 3 Day Diet

Just this morning, I was chatting with my friend via YM. We haven't talked for sometime and I asked him to make kwento what new with his life....

Aside from coming back to Manila from Fuego.... he tried this 3 Day Diet. Syempre I
Googled it up...


From the website www.everydiet.org it is posted that:

"The 3 Day Diet is one of the most popular short-term fad diets around today. Many people adopt the diet to try and achieve short-term weight loss. However, unfortunately most people simply gain the weight back on again.

The 3 Day Diet is simply a low calorie diet (as can be seen by the meal plan). There is nothing magical – no mystical chemical reaction that goes on (as some seem to think). Weight loss is due to a sudden drop in calories – some of this may be fat – but most will be from water loss."
