The 3 Week Diet
Have you heard about the newest diet plan that has everyone talking? It's called the 3 Week Diet, and it is burning down the internet!
Why? Mostly because it works, but also because the 3 Week Diet is one of the most controversial diet plans to come around since the Atkins Diet in the late 70's.
Claims and Basic Info
Of course, every diet claims that you can magically drop weight, eat anything you want, lose weight while you sleep, etc. However, the 3 Week Diet really does what it claims!
First, the creator of this plan says that you will drop as much as 23 pounds in just 21 days. While this seems outrageous, you will find thousands of testimonials from real people who said that they lost the amount of weight the plan promised. A few people say that they lost even more than the expected 23 pounds!
The plan also calls for just 3 or 4 thirty minute workouts each week. No killing yourself spending 90 minutes at the gym 6 days a week, just a sensible, reasonable workout routine.
Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?
The creator of the 3 Week Diet says that most Americans spend as much as 83 percent of their day, adding fat to their body, rather than losing it! This means your body is sitting in Fat Storing Mode for about 20 hours each and every day!
Why Just 3 Weeks?
Basically, the author believes that anything shorter is ineffective and that anything longer is boring. Three weeks is also how long scientists say that humans need to develop (or break) a habit. A great deal of our eating is simply a habit, and once we change those habits, we can make new ones.
What is This Diet Exactly?
While this is a "new" diet, it’s actually nothing more than taking the best ideas from several existing diets, such as the Warrior Diet, Intermittent fasting, and the Keto Diet, and reworking them into a 3 week plan that fights fat like crazy!
The Three Week Diet is divided into three parts and 4 phases. Let's take a closer look and explain this incredible diet in more detail.
How Does it Work?
This diet is divided into three parts:
- The Diet Itself
- A Sensible Exercise Program
- Mindset, Motivation, and Willpower
The diet itself is broken down into 4 phases over the 3 week period.
4 Phases
Phase 1 (Days 1-7)Many people report that they lose as much as 10 pounds in the first 7 days. This is the cleansing part of the diet, which helps to remove toxins, waste buildup and excess fat from the digestive system.
During this phase you get a detailed explanation of the type of foods you are permitted to eat. There is a huge amount of foods that are allowed, much more than you expect, including:
- Eggs
- Turkey
- Carrots
- Cabbage
- Chicken
- Tomatoes
- Broccoli
- Spinach
- Beef
- And many more!
Phase 2 (Day 8)
Yes, this is just a one day phase and it has a scary name to most "The 24 Hour Fast", but since you will be sleeping during most of it, you will hardly notice. Really. It sounds terrible, but it isn't. You eat your last meal (which is dinner for most people) and then you don't eat again until dinner time the next day.
So you are actually only going to skip 2 meals. It's nowhere near as difficult as most people think.
Of course, if you are going to a meeting at 4PM and you don't want anyone to hear your rumbling stomach, munch on some raw veggies or have black coffee (no sugar or creamers) or herbal tea to quiet things down.
Phase 3 (Days 9 – 11)
Known as the "Fat Phase", it is during this time that you eat an assigned number of calories, with about 80 percent being fat. This might sound backwards from what you have been led to believe, but studies show that high fat, low protein diets help the body to shed a great deal of fat in a short amount of time.
No, this doesn't mean you are going to be chewing on gristle from a pork chop; you will be surprised at how much good food you get to eat!
A typical diet would be eggs and bacon for breakfast, salmon and avocado salad for lunch, hard boiled eggs as snacks, a big juicy steak for dinner and some nuts before bedtime!
Phase 4 (Days 12-21)
During this phase you gradually add more food to your diet plan. You will receive a customized calorie plan to help you, based on your BMR and your weight loss goals.
By now, your eating habits will have changed tremendously and you will find sticking to this part of the diet is almost effortless. In fact, many people report that they are shocked to discover that they have reached the end of their 3 weeks!
Let's Not Forget Exercise!
The exercises for this plan are fairly simple, require very little equipment, and take only 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week.
For equipment, all you need are two dumbbells! A bench is nice, but even that is not necessary. This means you can do all your exercise from the comfort of your own home.
One of the Best Parts
One of the best parts of this diet is that you can simply repeat it if you want to lose more weight. Or if you find that you have regained a few pounds, you can simply repeat this 3 week plan and get your slim, sexy body back in a short period of time!
Most people who want to lose more weight simply take a 7 day break, and then start the program over again. This way, you don't get bored and if your daughter's birthday is coming up, you can enjoy cake and ice cream with her on her day, and then return to your 3 week plan!
Does it Really Work?
Isn't this what everyone wants to know? That’s why this diet is causing such a sensation on the internet, everyone who tries it, even hardcore skeptics, say that this diet plan did everything it promised!
Science backs up this plans claims, with study after study after study showing that the 3 Week Diet plan is one of the most effective plans ever devised!
