The 3-day solution diet claims to decrease appetite, increase energy, and allow the body to get rid of excess fat. With a 1-2-3 eating system, this diet provides lists of approved foods along with pre-selected menus and recipes. Paired with this, the diet encourages users to reflect on the inner-causes of over-eating, to find new ways to combat obesity while working towards weight loss success.
How Does the 3-Day Plan Work?
This diet involves three specific phases that are designed to educate dieters about healthy skills for success.
Dieters engaging in this plan will ingest a daily intake of:
- 30% protein
- 30% healthy-fats
- 40% carbohydrates
The plan predicts that dieters will lose approximately 6 pounds in the first three days, with a subsequent loss of about 1 pound per week.
What are the 3 Phases?
- “Detoxing” – For 3 days, dieters “detox” by learning about healthy eating and emotional awareness.
- “The Method” – Following the first 3 days, dieters then work in the “method” phase until day 14. Here, dieters are able to enhance the benefits gained from the first 3 detox days, while being able to eat with more flexibility.
- “Solution Training” – During the final phase, dieters continue their newly learned skills and habits by following the designed recipe and food plans.
What Can You Eat?
The diet is designed to allow for approximately 1,200 to 1,400 calories a day. The diet allows for moderate consumption of healthy carbs, fats, and proteins, while prohibiting the intake of alcohol and other poor food choices. As an upside, this diet allows for a 350 calorie treat each day, so dieters may not feel as deprived as they would on a more restrictive plan.

- Healthy eating is encouraged
- Allows for occasionally “breaks” from the healthy food lists
- Incorporates all of the major food groups
- A variety of recipes are provided, so meals are diverse and less redundant
