What is the three day diet and why do it at Easter?
The three-day diet is an ideal solution for those who want to get rid of excess pounds and accumulated liquids, right after the Easter binges. However, it is important to remember that this is a very strict food style. It also should not be followed for more than a few days to avoid long-term nutritional deficiencies. If you want to completely revolutionize your lifestyle, it is advisable to consult a specialist in the sector such as a dietician or nutritionist.
What is it about?
The diet is based on the intake of seasonal fruit and vegetables and on the reduced fat and carbohydrate content. For breakfast, you can choose different options, such as green tea with dried fruit and low-fat plain yogurt, skimmed milk with sugar-free coffee and oat bran or rice cakes with honey. For lunch, you can eat bean sprouts with steamed barley and vegetables, turkey breast with vegetables or tuna in brine with cherry tomatoes and egg whites. For a snack, you can eat fresh or dried fruit or plain low-fat yogurt. Finally, for dinner, you can opt for grilled beef with vegetables, baked sea bass with vegetables or grilled chicken with vegetables.
Avoid excesses
The secret to best results is to always combine steamed or boiled or grilled seasonal vegetables with a lean protein such as white meat, fish or vegetable protein. Instead, packaged sweets, processed sugars and fats, alcohol and fried foods should be avoided. If you follow this diet for three days and exercise regularly, you can get back in shape just after Easter. However, it is important not to overindulge in festive feasts and to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
