The 3 hour diet is based on a book by that name The author's name is Jorge Cruise. The basic premise is that you eat every three hours. Nothing is off limits but you are to include fats, carbs, protein, and fruits and veggies in the following proportions:
breakfast: half your plate should be fruit the size of 3 dvd cases..then protein the size of a deck of cards...ie one egg.....and a carb the size of a rubix cube. You may also add fat the equivelant of a soda pop bottle top...like butter on your bread or whatever...if you are eating high fat meat like low fat bacon or sausage omit the fat
lunch and dinner are the same as above except your fruit should then be veggies. If you are still hungry add another helping of veggies.
You eat every three hours starting when you eat breakfast which should be within an hour of waking so if it's 7am when you eat you'd eat a 100 cal snack at 10a. then lunch at 1 followed by another 100 cal snack at 4 with dinner at 7pm and a small treat anytime there after that should be around 50 cal....ie one hershey snack sized bar.
You will lose a consistant 2lbs per week and belly fat goes first...it's easy and it does work...this is a slow weight loss and it does stay off....if you follow it forever..when you've lost the weight you want you can add calories to your snacks in 100 cal incremements until you start gaining again then you know how may cals you need to maintain. He gives all the science behind the plan in the book...it's essentially to keep your body out of starvation mode.
