The 3 Hour Diet Food List - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

LaurieM35 · 07-13-2005, 08:42 AM

Hey ladies, since starting this plan 2 months ago, I have gathered foods from what I have read, been told from others who have had great success on the plan and what I have found. Alot of this can be found in The 3 Hour Diet Book @2003 Jorge Cruise, Inc. If you don't have the book yet, I highly reccomend it. Its a great resource! Feel free to add to this list if you find other awsome stuff to share!

Don't forget as those lbs come rolling off that you adjust your snack calories to fit your weight!

Here is the rule:

If your current weight is…

Up to 200 lbs = change nothing (eat the 100 calorie snack)

200-249 lbs = double your snack size to 200 calories

250-299 lbs = triple your snack size to 300 calories

300+ lbs = quadruple your snack size to 400 calories or another meal

As your weight drops, move to the next calorie selection to continue losing 2 pounds a week.

---------------------------------------

Eat w/in one hour of rising and then eat every three hours after that. Your meals should be around 400 calories and your snacks 100 calories. Drink at least eight 8 ounce glasses of water a day which will help to curb your hunger and flush out your system. Also, stop eating three hours before you go to bed.

If it's not too much trouble, could someone please post a sample 3 day menu. I had just heard about this diet and found this board. I don't know a thing about the diet, but so far what I have read on this board has been interesting. Must I buy the book, or can I find all the info. I need online somewhere? Thanks ahead of time.

Laurie,

Good morning. I noticed you have lost 20 pounds already. Congratulations on the loss! Anyway, I was wondering, have you lost all of that on Jorge Cruise's 3 Hour Diet? And how long did it take you to lose it?

I am still waiting for my book to arrive here. It should be here anytime now I am sure. I live in the country so everything has to be ordered online and delivered.

Anyway, thanks for your time. And thanks for all of the information you have posts on this plan. I can't wait to read the book and get moving!

LaurieM35 · 08-13-2005, 10:14 AM

Yes I lost all that on the JC plan, I lost that in 3 months, I have to be honest I stray alot from the plan so there for that has hender my weightloss too, we have some members who have been on it the same time I have and have lost over 30. I went on vacation and just have had trouble finding my way back since coming back and that is all my own fault.

TMunday · 08-13-2005, 10:37 AM

Laurie,

Wow... that is still a good loss. Sometimes it is very hard to stick with a diet! Like for me, I am currently on the SBD but sometimes I have to eat something not on the plan (carbs, sugar, chocolate.. something like that) because I start feeling really sick.

My biggest problem though is because I do NOT eat. For over 15 years I have always ate dinner, and a snack after that while watching tv. During the day I am never hungry. I used to go to WW meetings (about 3 plus years ago) and they told me my body was in starvation mode. Which makes a lot of since! But I was never able (I did the plan at least 4 times!) to lose even 1 pound on WW! I never did understand it. Last time I did the SBD about a year ago I lost over 30 pounds and did good. But once I stopped I gained it all back. And I have been trying it again for a few weeks now and all I have been doing is gaining weight, I have not lost anything this time at all. I have a really bad metabolism according to my doctor. I have also read that doing the same diet over and over does not work as easy as the first time. So I am checking JC's 3 Hr. Diet out as well the Curves book and some others.

I have a long road ahead of me. But this site will help me get to the end I am sure.

Thanks for replying to my message. I hope you continue to succeed!

ZacksMom · 08-15-2005, 11:59 AM

well i'm so happy to hear everyone success stories. i'm just starting this diet. today is the first day. i belive this site and along with all you nice people out there will help me out some and i hope to help others out some too.

par12199 · 08-28-2005, 09:01 AM

I am so glad that I found you guys. I have been doing JC's diet for about 1 month and I have lost 7 lbs. I have done every diet known to man and guess what....I gained all kinds of weight. This is such a good diet because of the variety of foods you can eat. I am so pleased at the fact that you can have CARBS and still lose weight. I have been a member of 3FC and I didn't realize that this group was here. I am glad to be here.

Hi,
I think this is one of the best diet forms on the net. Thanks to the wonderful gals like LaurieM35 who are willing to share information.
......LaurieM35 you have been a tremedous help with your food list and info. I was finally able to lose 2 lbs ( in one week) I have tried dozens of diets over 10 years that did not work.Thanks you so much for sharing..
I know I sould buy the book but I just can't right now.
I saw some talk of a free food list. Is that food you can eat any time like negative calorie foods ? If so please could you share the list. Sometimes I just have to snack on something. Thank you so much. Horselady1948
