Oh No Not Another (Ridiculous) Diet

I think I have definitely overindulged all month, and have run out of excuses how/why all my clothes (even the fat ones) have suddenly shrunk. So I am about to embark on another diet.

This diet is known by several names, none of which I will repeat here, but it has been around for simply ages. I do know of one or two people who have lost weight while on it. And yes, before I hear some tut-tutting and tsk-tsking, I do know:

- semi starvation diets as these DO NOT WORK
- you pile the lost weight back on (and more) the minute you stop
- you cannot 'trick' the body into eating less than it should - it goes into starvation mode and your metabolic rate slows right down
- all you lose is water (not fat) and at worst, muscle
- you will feel tired, hungry and listless

HOWEVER - it is only for 3 days and for the sake of experimenting and perhaps a slightly looser waistband, maybe it's worth me trying it out?

Here goes:

Day 1

Breakfast
Black tea /coffee
1 grapefruit
1 slice toast
2 tsp. peanut butter

Lunch
Black tea /coffee
4 oz. tuna
1 slice toast

4 oz. beetroot

Note: I am not endorsing this diet as you can clearly see from the heading but am merely sharing information which already is readily available from the internet with all of you. As always, before you think of embarking on any diet, let alone something, as totally unsubstantiated as this one, please check with your doctor.
