The American Heart Association's 3 Day Diet

This diet, the American Heart Association 3 Day Diet, is in no way related to the American Heart Association. Although there are people that are attempting to pass the American Heart Association 3 Day Diet off as a legitimate
diet that is purported to help cardiac patients as something genuine, the American Heart Association 3 Day Diet is in fact not a genuine diet supported by the American Heart Association, and the health benefits of it is a much debated topic. There are no doctors or dietitians that support the American Heart Association 3 Day Diet, due in part to the lack of healthy eating. The American Heart Association 3 Day Diet allows foods that are primary sources of fat, sodium, and cholesterol.

Some different names for the American Heart Association 3 Day Diet claim a different purpose for the diet, such as using it as a cleansing diet to remove toxins from your body. However, the main idea with the American Heart Association 3 Day Diet stands the same. They promise of speedy weight loss, with little or no effort on your part. This is untrue, not only with the American Heart Association 3 Day Diet, but also with other diets that focus mainly on food content, and fail to address the exercise part of the diet. The American Heart Association 3 Day Diet does not make any references to an exercise regimen, or any type of exercise for that matter.

Exercise plays an important role in any diet, but in the American Heart Association 3 Day Diet, there is no mention of exercise. The American Heart Association 3 Day Diet consists of a three day food schedule that you are encouraged to adhere to. The weight loss capacity promised in the American Heart Association 3 Day Diet is a 10 pound weight loss in just three days. Doctors and dietitians that have researched the American Heart Association 3 Day Diet, have stated that a minor amount of weight loss will in fact occur, due to the fact of the calorie count being so low, only about 1,200 calories a day, but the weight loss would consist of mostly water weight, and muscle being burned. Very little actual weight loss would occur.

I tried this diet back in 1985 and lost a total of 20 lbs, my Mom lost 45 lbs. We did this diet 3 days every week for about 1 month. It does work.

I AM DIABETIC. IN ORDER TO GET MY SUGARS BACK IN TACK I HAVE FOUND THAT WEIGHT LOSS IS THE KEY AT THIS POINT. I LOST 17 THE FIRST TIME THUR. FUNNY THING IS THIS DIET IS NOT HARD TO DO FOR 3 DAYS. THE FIRST DAY I COULD HAVE AT THE CORNER OFF THE COFFEE TABLE BUT AFTER BREAKFAST ON THE SECOND DAY I WAS OKAY WITH IT. TALK TO YOU DOCTOR. WEIGHT IS ALL YOU HAVE TO LOSE.
