THE 3-WEEK DIET—INTRODUCTION MANUAL
DIET OVERVIEW
Following the 3 Week Diet typically results in body fat losses of ¾ to 1-pound of fat every day.
When you add the 3 Week Workout to the diet, fat loss is typically over 1-pound per day. Because
of this, you will start to see some nice progress in just a couple of days after starting.
In following this diet without deviation, I have yet to find anyone not being able to lose at least
10 pounds in the 21-day period. During my trial of this diet—before ever releasing it publicly—I
lost 23 lbs in 21-days. It truly was nothing short of miraculous…and I have been excited to share
this breakthrough ever since.
The 3-Week Diet is similar to a Protein Sparing Modified Fast, in that we will “trick” the body into
entering a 24/7 fat-burning “starvation” mode, while we provide it with the appropriate amount of
protein that it needs so that lean body mass is spared…not to mention the added thermic effect of
digesting that protein. In addition to carbohydrate restriction and strategic protein consumption,
we will add quality, healthy fats to enhance our fat-burning goals.
While carbohydrates are NOT essential to the human body, we cannot live without protein and
fat. Interestingly, we could eat all the carbohydrates we wanted and could still die of starvation if
we did not have fat and protein in our diet.
We restrict carbohydrates in this diet because it immediately stops adding to the fat cells we already
have AND it forces our bodies to burn fat for all of our daily energy needs.
We limit the fat in this diet to EFAs (essential fatty acids) and the trace amounts of fat in the al-
lowed foods. Limiting (but not completely eliminating) fat will force our bodies to burn stored fat
rather than to use dietary fat (the fat we eat) for our energy needs. Keep in mind that our bodies
do need a certain amount of fat every day for proper functioning. However, your body doesn’t care
if it gets the fat from your diet or from the fat stored on your hips, thighs, belly and butt. So, we
will give your body the kind of fat it loves and needs in the form of EFAs.
We will increase our protein consumption because it helps preserve lean body mass and it keeps our me-
tabolisms cranked up. Also, digesting protein burns a ton of calories due to its chemical structure that
makes it far more difficult to digest than fat and carbohydrates. Protein keeps you full for hours and the
amino acids in protein are an absolute requirement to sustain your life and to keep you healthy. Keep
in mind that this diet is about maximizing what we need while reducing/restricting what we don’t.
