A Nutritionist Weighs in...
If you have the time to learn serving sizes and properly plan meals ahead of time, the 3-Hour Diet diet appears to be promising in achieving long-term weight loss. The weekly weight loss plan is reasonable and healthy. A diet that makes sure you eat every three hours at least wants to see that you eat often! Note that planning is absolutely essential for success on this diet unless you pay for the meal delivery option.
You can stick to this weight loss plan if you have a regular schedule and are vigilant about meal-planning
The 3-Hour Diet is set-up for long-term weight loss, which is a huge plus. But will you find the time to plan and write down meals and snacks ahead of time? And does your schedule permit you to eat at the assigned hours each day?
Eating every 3 hours sounds great, but bear in mind that each meal is on the small side. If you are used to eating larger meals, eating small, frequent meals is a healthy change, but may be difficult for you to start.
What about all those portion sizes? Unless frozen meals or fast foods are a typical part of your diet, you'll have to figure out the proper servings of each food group on the "28-Day Success Planner." Paying for pre-portioned meals is a way around it, but may cost you a small fortune. Knowing portion sizes is not a bad thing to learn (hey, we dietitians know them all), but can you find the time to learn serving sizes, plan meals ahead of time, and then actually prepare the meals? You might need three hours just to do that!
Nevertheless, because there is only a two-pound-per-week weight loss expected on this diet, this may be an easier diet to stick to because you're losing at a slow, healthy rate. The plan also emphasizes a lot of techniques to help you stay motivated and supported, which may help compliance as well.
