Goal: to lose 4 kg in 3 days

Be aware: this is only the goal of this diet, not necessarily its outcome. Results vary from person to person. Consult your doctor or dietician before starting this (or any other) diet.

3-Day Diet Plan 

The 3-Day Diet Plan is a 3-day crash diet with the goal of losing 4 kilos. If you follow this diet, you eat very little (about 1000 calories a day) for 3 days and follow prescribed menus. After the diet you have to eat normally for at least 4-5 days before potentially repeating the diet.

On the homepage you can compare this diet with other diets.

I doubt you will lose 4 kg in 3 days. Also, the product selection is very odd. The amount of vegetables is very low to eat a bowl of ice cream afterwards. I would rather recommend having some healthy carbs with the hot meal. And the psyllium preparations are meant for people with intestinal problems, not to create a feeling of fullness.

4 kg in 3 days is not doable, what you lose is fluid and not fat, this will be back in no time.
