Been scared to try it cause some of the reviews were less than stellar.

Diet goes like this:

Jan 20, 2020, 11:43 AM

One week of nothing but 5 shakes a day (3 hours apart with maybe 30 minutes of room for error) and drinking 120oz of water a day which is super important, oh and vitamins at night for supper. Bewm, 10 lbs lost. Also ZERO exercise or even strenuous activity. Oh, and have to see a doctor before the first week, and get a bunch of tests done. EKG and blood work mainly. Then they monitor you.

I bailed early because the only side effect I have is constipation. Your bowels shut down on 500-600 calories a day. I cried uncle at day 6.

After that week (or six days for me), then you transition to 3 shakes a day, same vitamins, and you can drink clear liquids and 2 cups of coffee a day but stay away from artificial sweeteners. Then you can have 8-9oz lean protein and 4-6 cups of veggies a day (no onions, carrots, roma tomatoes, and other high sugar veggies preferably). SO you do a shake 9am-ish, noonish lunch is a McDonalds Grilled bacon ranch salad (using 1/4 the dressing) or something similar. 3pm you have shake #2. 5pm you chow down on a ton of veggies, basically all you can eat. 8pm shake #3. End the day with 800-1000 calories. Total carbs is around 30ish. They call this 3 and one, 3 shakes and a meal. Also can reduce water to 60-80 oz a day with this one. You can exercise a little, but no more than walking.

Do that until around 210 lbs then start easy exercise. Walking 30 minutes. Then power walking 30 mins. Weight will come off fast again. Slows again around 185. Then you add in a cup or two of fruit and run a mile. Then run 3 miles. Then you go to a maintenance diet and just watch your carbs/exercise. As long as you exercise VIGOROUSLY 30+ mins 3-4 times a week and eat right, weight stays off. Keep calories around 1800 a day, low carbs, 3 to 4 3 mile runs a week, and it stays off. Complex carbs are basically a permanent nono, unless you want to run more than 5-6 miles 3+ times a week. No potatoes, breads, baked goods, and anything with enriched flour as a main ingredient. Crackers, etc. Meat, dairy, veggies, and fruit is mainly what you should eat.

I know the first part is a crash diet, and sounds harsh. But honestly I tried MANY times to do the 3 and 1 diet without the crash diet period and it just didn't work. Got hungry. I have not been hungry at all this time around. On 500 calories a day you will not be hungry. You WILL lose energy, feel week, feel like crap, and get headaches. Day 1 is easy, day two starts to suck. Day 3 sucks worst. Day 4 is better. Day 5 is better. And day 6 you feel basically fine. It is amazing how your body can adapt. Basically you're going through carbohydrate withdrawal. On the other side you're capable of following a diet easily.

One more tip, do not take any liquid medication when doing 500 calories a day. Especially codeine cough syrup

The sugary syrup will be absorbed WAY too fast and you will basically OD on whatever it is.
