Are you in a hurry to loose weight?
Do you need a loose some weight to head you in the right direction to a healthier future?...
The 3 Day Diet is one of the most popular short-term fad diets around today. Many people adopt the diet to try and achieve short-term weight loss. However, unfortunately most people simply gain the weight back on again once they resume normal eating patterns.
The 3 Day Diet is simply a low calorie diet (as can be seen by the meal plan).
There is nothing magical – no mystical chemical reaction that goes on (as some seem to think). Weight loss is due to a sudden drop in calories – some of this may be fat – but most will be from water loss.
However... the 3-day diet is NOT sustainable, eating like this for more than 3-days can lead to a yo-yo diet effect, a constant regain of weight.

Want washboard abs? It's easier to achieve than you think!
Tips on how to get that perfect flat tummy you can be proud of.
1. Forget sit-ups
Doing thousands of crunches does not guarantee you better results. To burn fat on your stomach, you must first burn fat from your whole body, which means getting your heart pumping with some cardiovascular exercise. It’s no good having washboard abs if they're covered by body fat. Time for the treadmill!
2. Rest
Skipping a session is no disaster. If you have to miss a day or two, that's ok. Muscle does not turn to fat. Obviously too long a break can be detrimental but so can pushing yourself to the limit every single day. The rest phase is actually when the body strengthens and repairs itself. Continuous training can make you weaker; remember slow and steady wins the race!
3. Stand up straight
Lousy posture can be a key factor in making your stomach look much fatter than it actually is. Stand to your full height and try not to slouch; with a straight back and chest high the abs will naturally pull themselves in.
4. Train your entire core
You will never achieve your six pack goal if you don’t properly train your entire core. This means your obliques, lower back, pelvis, glutes and hip flexors. A strong core will mean better balance and stability; weak core muscles leave you susceptible to poor posture, lower back pain and muscle injuries.
5. You are what you eat
Your diet is your essential tool in building a lean and mean physique. The optimal meal frequency is 4- to-6 small meals every day; this will have the effect of speeding up your metabolism. Along with eating frequent, smaller meals, you should consume your carbohydrates first thing in the morning to give you energy through the day.
6. Challenge your muscles
It’s important to keep your workout routine fresh, repeating the same standard practices will not only bore you rigid but have a negative effect on your muscle gains. If you notice a slow down in your progression it’s because you have hit a plateau, your abs will eventually stop responding to the same old exercises because simply, they're bored. Muscles need a challenge; to keep them growing try overhauling your routine every four to six weeks.
Sticking with these six simple steps will ensure tighter, stronger and more defined abs. For extra help in the quest for the cheese-grater stomach Pro-10 offer a range of supplements that speed up your gains, be it burning fat or gaining muscle.
An easy training programme to get you where you want to be.. and get a perfectly flat stomach.
