3 Day Liquid Diet Program

You can expect to lose a few pounds on a 3 day liquid diet. The best way to use this diet is to purge your system for 3 days by staying on a liquid diet and then gradually add food back to into your diet.

Slowly increase your calorie intake to 1300 calories. The 3 day liquid diet consist of drinking a nutritious protein shake 4 times per day along with plenty of water and a vitamin supplement. The total calorie per day on this diet is around 800 to 900 calories.

After 3 days, remain on liquid protein shakes but use them for between meal snacks. You can even use the protein drink for a breakfast replacement meal. Your lunch and dinner will consist of 1 baked chicken breast or fish and 2 non-starch vegetables.

The best liquid protein shakes are whey protein or the protein shakes used by bodybuilders such as Met-Rx. To make a whey protein shake, place the following in a blender:


* 3 packets of Splenda,
* 3 ice cubes
* 8 ounces of low fat milk, preferably un-sweeten soy milk
* 2 scoops of whey protein powder
