2018 Diet Plan: 3 Day Diet Plan for Weight Loss

3 day diet planIf you are looking for a simple healthy eating diet plan for 2018, then this three day plan is ideal. It can easily be incorporated into your week, if you wish to make it a regular event, or you can adopt it for long weekends to help maintain a healthy weight.

Day One

  • Breakfast: 40g muesli with 125ml semi-skimmed milk, topped with seven strawberries.
  • Snack: Three apricots.
  • Lunch: Tuna and cucumber sandwich, 80g raw carrot.
  • Snack: 150g yoghurt.
  • Dinner:  250g Low Carb Chilli con carne and rice with 70g peas. Mango chunks.

Day Two:

  • Breakfast: 40g muesli with 125ml semi-skimmed milk, topped with a small banana.
  • Snack: Two plums.
  • Lunch: Jacket potato with baked beans but no butter. 100g seedless grapes.
  • Snack: One large orange.
  • Dinner: 100g grilled salmon, with 225g of green salad. One apple.

Day Three:

  • Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs, one slice of wholemeal toast, 200ml of unsweetened fresh orange juice.
  • Snack: 50g reduced fat houmous with carrot and celery sticks.
  • Lunch: 235g Sushi. 100g seedless grapes.
  • Snack: 23g blueberry and yoghurt nougat bar.
  • Dinner: 120g grilled pork chop, 120g boiled new potatoes, 110g steamed broccoli. 160g of fresh pineapple.

This short diet limits calories while still providing adequate slow release energy, nutrients and plenty of fiber. The oats in muesli are low GI and release their energy slowly which means you digest the food slowly and this helps to control blood sugar levels, which in turn controls insulin and reduces fat uptake.

The fruits and raw vegetables provide vitamins and also fiber to help you feel full for longer. The main meal is eaten at dinner time (evening) although this is still a low calorie portion.


If some of the foods do not appeal to you try to find suitable alternatives, for example, you could replace the sushi with chicken satay, or the pork chop could be replaced with a lean steak or chicken.

The most important thing is to use the portions and pattern of eating (meals with healthy snacks in between) as a guideline to ensure that you follow a simple but healthy diet plan. For better results you could combine this type of diet plan with a 16:8 diet or a 5:2 intermittent fasting.

If you are determined to lose weight quickly you could just follow a diet plan like this for several weeks, repeating it every 3 days. Although you may start to get bored with the food choices you will at least become more efficient at obtaining and preparing the meals and snacks, which means you are more likely to follow the plan. The best diet plans are often the easiest ones to follow in 2018.

  3. MotleyHealth says:

    Hi Murugan, you need to start exercising daily and change your diet. Read the articles in the diet and nutrition section and also the fitness section. Daily running with some weight training a few days a week is probably best.

  4. I need to lose my tummy flab n calf muscle. Is there a possible way I could do both successfully without any unnatural means? I would also love it if I got a working idea on how to lose stretch marks!thank you!

  5. hi..! Could u plz let me know how many KG’s we can reduce by following this three day diet plan. Im 84 now n my age is 21. Im looking for quick weight loss bcoz I have a party next week i want to look betta in the party. can u even help me out in the diet plan coz i dnt eat pork.

  6. MotleyHealth says:

    Impossible to say really Sans. If you can maintain a daily 1000 Calorie deficit you can lose 2 pounds (about 1 kg) a week. For that you need lots of exercise and a strict diet.

  7. Hi, I’m 21 years of age and i weigh 118lbs. Though i weigh this much i look heavier because my lower body is bigger than my top and i look disproportionate and fat. I would really like to lose weight in my legs, thighs, calves and buttocks as soon as possible to get that space between my legs and toned body. I would reaallly like your help!! An exercise and diet plan or any other help would be greatly appreciated…thank u soo much..

  8. thank u for your response. Can i maintain this three day diet regularly or need to do ny other wrk out.

  9. MotleyHealth says:

    Well, you could, although it will not provide a very diverse / balanced diet and you my tire of it too. It is always better to learn how to eat a healthy diet, but you could dip back into this now and then too. The key to long term weight management is being consistently healthy – exercise daily if possible and always eat healthy.

  10. MotleyHealth says:

    If you wish to reduce fat in your legs etc. and tone, then the best exercise would be regular running / jogging with some body weight routines too. Running will help you to burn the fat off and squats and lunges will help you tone the muscles. Eat a healthy diet too, avoid junk food that goes to fat quicker than healthy food.

  11. If is there any diet plan could u plz guide me so tht i could follow it regularlly n more over i wont eat non-veg except Egg. n i’ll wrk out mostly in the evening hrs at gym for 1hrs daily. but only thing is lacking in me is regular diet.

  12. Thank u sooo much…! I’ll get back to u after some weeks.

  13. Thank u! Are these exercises guaranteed to firm that extra fat and flab and give me what i want with a healthy diet as well? Approximately how long will it take to reach this goal if i work out 3 times a week? I reaally would like to be in shape for the new year!

  14. MotleyHealth says:

    Hi Mel, it is impossible to put a time frame on it. Also, try not to be too ambitious too soon. There are only 2 weeks to the new year, and even if you exercise 3 times a week that is only 6 exercise sessions – do not expect miracles straight away. Just keep working on it and results will come eventually. But you can certainly get to a great start in the next couple of weeks.

  16. MotleyHealth says:

    Hi Patrice, you need to start exercising, ideally for around 45 minutes a day, as well as follow a healthy diet.

  19. MotleyHealth says:

    Hi Huyen, you need to exercise if you are serious about losing 10 kg in 2 months. Daily exercise. And eat a healthy, calorie reduce diet like the example above. It can work, if you work hard at it!

  21. MotleyHealth says:

    Hi Tom, you are doing the right thing. Lots of cardio, strength training and healthy and lean diet is the key. Stick to your plan. If you do not lose weight in another week then you need to reduce calories.
