The 3 day tuna diet - another diet fad?!

Personally I really love fish and seafood. I can't get enough of it! fish as diet foodThis is good because fish and seafood is actually pretty healthy and low in fat and calories which makes it the perfect food when it comes to dieting.

When surfing the internet yesterday I came across another diet that I hadn't heard before: the 3 day tuna diet. Tuna is one of my favourite fish and so this blog post about the tuna diet immediately caught my eye. This is what I have learned:

The 3 day tuna diet is a short diet that is said to be an easy and quick way to shed some pounds within just 3 days. Noone seems to remember where the diet originated from, but some said that a special clinic or doctor proposed it. Some say that this clinic is the Cleveland Clinic, however, the clinic denies having to do with this diet stating that this diet is just another fad diet.

On other websites I then found more information of what this special diet actually consists of. Surprise, surprise - its a three day diet plan and another one - you are not supposed to eat ONLY tuna. Here is what you can eat and drink every day:

For breakfast: black coffee, tea or water; half a grapefruit; one slice of toast with some peanut butter

For lunch: a toast with half a cup of tuna and again black coffee, tea or water

For dinner: one cup of grean beans, one cup of carrots, one cup of vanilla ice cream, one medium apple, and the same drinks as before.

The next two days look quite similar and honestly I am wondering where the tuna is in this TUNA diet. With just half a cup of tuna a day this diet hardly qualifies to be called Tuna diet. After reading that I got really suspicious and did some more research. Later on I found that the diet is supposed to be some kind of urban legend. On the internet I found out about some ladies who claimed to have dieted successfully with this diet.

If any of you out there reading this post has managed to lose some weight with the 3 day tuna diet please let us know if it is worth a try! (but I doubt that anyone will respond.
Yours,

I hate beets. I’ve tried all kinds. So I stuck on this diet and ate beets and I can’t remember if I even lost 3 lbs. but I don’t think I did. So for me to have to eat beets for a very minimal (if any) loss wasn’t worth it to me. However, I think I tried this a second time at some point in my life just to see if it would work. Again, I didn’t see much of a loss. I will admit I only did it for 3 days each attempt.

I love the tuna diet. Yummy
