Hi Cindy, Didn't know if this was the one you were talking about or not...but, I thought it was worth a try if it was. God bless...love, Terri ********************************************************** The 3 day diet....by the American Heart Association! <well, maybe....> DAY ONE Breakfast 1/2 Grapefruit or Juice 1 slice toast 2 teaspoons peanut butter Black coffee or tea (no sugar or cream) Lunch 1/2 cup tuna or chicken 1 slice toast or cheese Black coffee or tea or diet soda Dinner 2 slices any type meat(3 oz.) or small steak broiled 1 cup string beans or greens (for those not from the south...these are turnip greens) 1 cup beets or carrots 1 small apple 1 cup vanilla ice cream DAY TWO Breakfast 1 egg 1/2 banana 1 slice toast black coffee or tea Lunch 1 cup cottage cheese or 1/2 cup tuna 5 saltine crackers diet soft drink Dinner 2 hot dogs 1 cup broccoli or cabbage 1/2 cup carrots or turnips 1/2 banana 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream DAY THREE Breakfast 5 saltine crackers 1 slice cheddar cheese 1 small apple black coffee or tea Lunch 1 hard boiled egg 1 slice toast 1/2 cup tuna diet soft drink Dinner 1 cup tuna or chicken breast or turkey 1 cup beets or carrots 1 cup cauliflower or greens 1/2 canteloupe or 1 banana 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream With this diet you could lose 10 pounds in three days. It does work. But you MUST NOT snack between meals and only have diet drinks (that means no sugar what so ever). This diet works on chemical breakdown so you must not substitute any foods. From my own experience...I have substituted green beans for broccoli, and green beans for cauliflower or greens...as I abhor these veggies. I also hate *with a passion* beets, so I always eat the carrots. I have used this diet before and have lost weight with it {as have other members of my family} but, if you do decide to substitute any foods or add a little mayo/must with tuna, be prepared to lose a little less than the 10 pounds you could lose. Good Luck Cindy with whatever you decide to do...I had the bpd/ds *open* on October 12, 2000. I am only 17 pounds away from my goal weight..talk to you later...Terri
