The 3 day weight loss program can help you drop that little bit of weight needed to feel even better about your new outfit. Seeing that this diet is intended for short usage, do not use it for long periods or you might harm yourself. It is wise to talk to your doctor about any change of diet like this one.

A typical menu for the 3 day weight loss program should be as follows:

Day 1:

Breakfast: coffee or tea with no sugar or some sort of sugar substitute, a third of a grapefruit and one piece of toast with a tablespoon of peanut butter on it

Lunch: A half of a cup of canned tuna in spring water, one piece of dry toast and coffee or tea with no sugar or a sugar substitute.

Dinner: Three ounces of lean meat, one cup of green beans and one cup of carrots. An apple and a cup of vanilla ice cream for dessert. Water to drink

Day 2:

Breakfast: Coffee or tea without sugar or a substitute sweetener. A boiled or poached egg, a slice of dry toast and half a banana.

Lunch: One cup of cottage cheese or tuna with eight saltine crackers. Coffee or tea with nothing or a sugar replacement. No sugar.

Dinner: Half a cup of carrots, a cup of cabbage and 2 hotdog sausages without the buns. Half a banana and half a cup of vanilla ice cream. Water to drink

Day 3:

Breakfast: Black coffee or tea without sugar or a substitute sweetener. An apple, 5 salt crackers and an ounce of cheese.

Lunch: Black coffee or tea without sugar or a substitute sweetener. One boiled egg and slice of dry toast.

Dinner: Water to drink. One cup of tuna in spring water, a cup of carrots and a cup of cauliflower. For dessert, one cup of melon and half a cup of vanilla ice cream.

When you are following the above diet, you must drink lots of water all day. To keep the body working the way it is supposed to, one needs to bear in mind that the body is made up mostly of water and needs lots of topping up. Four glasses is the minimum amount of water that should be drunk daily. Water is perfect for cleaning out your system and removing toxins. You need to drink a lot of water in order to keep toxins from building up in your body.

It isn’t a good idea to continue this diet longer than three days at a time. Follow this program for 3 days, then eat normally for 4-5 and then do the 3 day program again. The next time that this routine is followed, the same menu should be used, without making any changes. The low amount of calories that are consumed is how this diet is able to produce such great results.

The low caloric intake during this 3-day weight loss program is why this diet causes weight loss. It is great for losing a few pounds, but isn’t a program for losing lots of weight.

I got Nutrisystem meals within 2 days after I place my order.

With your order one of the 7 Nutrisystem weight loss programs you will get 28 breakfasts, 28 lunches, 28 dinners and 28 deserts. You may have also received 7 extra ( a week’s worth) of each category. You will also get a booklet as your quick start guide on how to use and start your program step by step, a Meal Planner to know when to add-in fruit, dairy, other fresh food additions to your days and exercise routine. Each Nutrisystem food item is marked “Breakfast Time, Lunch Time, Dinner Time, Desert time to help you inventory the foods easier.

The cool thing about Nutrisystem foods is you don’t need to refrigerate them. They are actually sealed through a “soft canning” process which locks in the nutrition and great taste, and keeps out the elements. They are ready to go whenever and wherever you are.

The foods are full of protein and good carbs. Each of Nutrisystem foods fits into a balanced meal plan that’s very easy to follow. Simply grab an entree, add-inn a few grocery items like fresh fruit, vegetables, salads and dairy items and you ready to go. The meals are perfectly portioned, so there’s no weighing, measuring or counting calories and points.

About the food, honestly the foods are not as large in size as depicted in the advertisement. So don’t get shocked the first time you see your order. If you order a pizza, don’t expect you will get a big one like the ordinary pizza. You’ll get an itty bitty one but don’t get discouraged, remember all the food is perfectly portioned for weight loss. The taste of the food is GREAT!

REMEMBER!, the first time you place an order for a Nutrisystem program, don’t forget to select the food you like. Because if you don’t you will end up being forced to eat the food that you don’t like. For me, not all Nutrisystem foods are ones I like. I’ve made a mistake to not select my food at my first order but I learned my lesson on my second order.

Here’re my tips, since the food proportion is a little bit small, select the food that has carbohydrates in it. For example, I choose dinner that has content rice in it. In that way I won’t feel a craving. At first, it may seem that the food portions are small, but after a few weeks you will get used to the portions and your body will adjust.

My conclusion about the Nutrisystem weight loss program… ” Worth every penny”

Not the kindest of descriptions, that, but I have to say most fat people (and let’s not hide behind such terms as ‘big’ or ‘a little overweight’ or ‘differently weighted’ or ‘horizontally gifted’) absolutely hate the way clothes do nothing for them. And while that is a cause worthy of our concern, I wouldn’t say it is the biggest reason to lose weight. Of course, none of us would mind looking as though we had just got off the ramp wearing the latest designer dreams, but the point is, there is, to my mind, a bigger reason to lose weight.

Very simply, being fat equals being ill.

Losing weight is a global concern

There’s no way to put this gently, so I’m not going to try, but the fact is that thin people live longer than fat people. Medical research has established that obesity – roughly defined as more than 25 percent body fat in men and more than 32 percent in women – is one of the biggest threats to good health, and the worrying news is that a little over 20 percent of the United State’s total population is clinically obese.

And though I mention the US as an example, the urge to lose weight has gone global, to the extent that we are witnessing the emergence of an entire industry built around weight loss. For example, a friend who was in India recently told me about a reality show on one of the TV channels that pits very fat people against each other in a race to lose as much weight as possible over the course of a few months. In the end, the biggest loser wins. Sounds familiar? Yes it does, because we know all about NBC’s The Biggest Loser, but the thing is that the globalization of a show themed on losing weight merely proves my assertion.

Excess fat has been proved to directly or indirectly cause heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Scared? You ought to be, because a National Health and Nutrition Examination survey found that three out of four Americans (that’s 75 percent, in case you want it rubbed in) die of either heart disease or cancer; and roughly 80 percent of those deaths are associated with lifestyle diseases born out of inadequate exercise.

Losing weight impacts your health

Let’s take heart disease, for instance. Once you are obese, it takes more of an effort to breathe, simply because the heart has to labor harder to keep the blood circulation going, to the lungs as well as to other organs. The overwork takes its toll by enlarging the heart so that blood pressure rises and heartbeats become irregular. If that weren’t bad enough, obesity has also been linked to higher levels of cholesterol, and in extreme cases, this means that the arteries are narrowed owing to plaque deposits on their walls – a classic symptom of arteriosclerosis.

Not immediately fatal, arteriosclerosis is nonetheless potentially so, because as the deposits grow, vital organs like the brain, heart and kidneys are deprived of blood because the narrow arteries can no longer deliver enough blood to them. In a vicious cycle, this means that the heart is forced to pump harder, and so blood pressure rises. Get the drift? Small wonder that nearly 25 percent of all heart problems are linked to obesity.

Then there’s cancer. Medical research has established that excess body fat acts as a sort of warehouse for carcinogens, though research on this subject continues. While more women are likely to suffer from breast and uterine cancer owing to the presence of excess body fat, obese men are under threat from colon and prostate cancer.

Finally, there’s diabetes. This is not the forum for a medical discussion, but you have to know that whether or not you develop diabetes depends on how far the balance between blood sugar, body fat, and insulin within your body is upset. The problem, as you may guess, begins with excess blood sugar, which is stored in various vital organs. When these organs can’t take any more sugar, it is turned into body fat. But when sugar levels exceed the maximum capacity of the fat cells, the pancreas starts to produce more insulin to control sugar levels, and thus you have diabetes, a potentially fatal disease that can in turn spawn such grave conditions as heart and kidney failure and blindness.

Losing weight impacts your lifestyle

“At the beginning of the 21st Century, obesity has become the leading metabolic disease in the World. So much so, that the World Health Organization refers to obesity as the global epidemic. In fact, obesity is a common disease affecting not only affluent societies but also developing countries. Currently 300 million people can be considered as obese and, due to the rising trend in obesity prevalence, this figure could double by year 2025 if no action is taken against this threat.” (Extract from a 2004 research paper by Xavier Formiguera and Ana Cantón of the Obesity Unit of the University Hospital in Catalonia, Spain.)

The inescapable fact is that obesity is a ‘lifestyle disease’, so that when you lose weight, apart from the obvious health benefits, you also acquire a healthier lifestyle and a mental shot in the arm. Trainee psychologist Priscilla Sayers, who has been conducting a study on the psychological impacts of obesity among people aged 18-35 years in Philadelphia, says losing weight successfully is one of the best ways to increase low self-esteem. “It really makes a difference to a person’s lifestyle when she or he loses weight. I have seen people become more outgoing, better dressed, and more confident – all because they lost 20 pounds in four months,” she says.

Hard to beat, isn’t it, the combination of improved health and lifestyle? And to think that losing weight is all that you have to do.
