3 - 1 - 2 - 1 Diet

Posted on January 1, 2015

Has anyone heard of this diet? I think I'm going to order the book from Amazon tomorrow. It think it's an interesting concept that might make sticking to healthy eating long term easier. I tend to cut back way too much and then I'm not able to sustain that for any length of time. When I ineviteably mess up, I feel like I've blown it and just start eating the easy, tasty, unhealthy foods again.

In this plan, you eat clean for three days, then have a higher calorie day 1700 calories, so it's not a free for all eat whatever you want then back to clean eating for two days and then another higher calorie day. This is supposed to keep your metabolism kicked up. The book says you can lose two dress sizes in 21 days. I'll let you know when I get it and how it works for me.

I think if you can stick with a healthy foods every meal that's awesome. This isn't necessarily unhealthy meals but higher calorie days. I haven't decided whether I will try it or not. I am on day two now and trying to keep my calories low.

To be honest, I think it sounds kind of gimmicky. But "cheat days" seem to work for some people. I don't do them as a plan, though I occasionally end up eating outside my calorie zone if I go out with family or something. I do eat out about once a week, but I try to stay within calories anyway. I do intermittent fasting, where I don't eat for 12-16 hours, which is pretty easy for me since I sleep 10-12 hours a day. I don't "diet", I'm transitioning into a permanent paleo-ish lower calorie forever lifestyle and I think that splurge meals just cause cravings and make me have to burn more calories.
