I've been stalled for awhile, too, Lee. But here's a little 3-day diet I've done numerous times, and it does result in a loss of 2-3 pounds. My mom was given it years ago as a way to lose weight before surgery.
The Cleveland Clinic Diet
Day One:
Breakfast of 2 tbsp. peanutbutter on 1 slice of toast, and 1/2 grapefruit
Lunch is 1 small can of tuna (packed in water) and 1 slice dry toast
Dinner is 3 oz. any type of meat, 1 cup green beans, 1 cup red beets, 1 small apple, 1/2 c. vanilla ice cream
Day Two
Breakfast of 1 egg, 1 slice dry toast, 1 small banana
Lunch is 1 cup cottage cheese and 5 saltine crackers
Dinner is 2 hot dogs, 1 cup broccoli, 1/2 cup carrots, 1 banana, 1/2 c. vanilla ice cream
Day Three
Breakfast is 1 slice cheddar cheese, 5 saltine crackers, 1 banana, 1 apple
Lunch is 1 egg and 1 slice dry toast
Dinner is 1 small can of tuna (packed in water), 1 cup red beets, 1 cup cauliflower, 1/2 c. canteloupe or mixed fruit, 1/2 c. vanilla ice cream
Salt and pepper okay, but no other seasonings or spices. Black coffee and tea okay. No substitutions. Diet works on a chemical breakdown. After 3 days, resume normal eating for at least 4 days. Some have lost as much as 40 pounds a month on it.
Over the years, I've tried it with some substitutions, like chicken for the 3rd day tuna, and still lost weight. I've even done everything except the last dinner, which is pretty strange IMO (as is the hot dog dinner) and still lost something. I always drink some diet soda, too. Maybe by following it exactly, you get better results, but it's still pretty effective.
