The Hot Dog Diet
Chow down on hot dogs and lose weight in 3 days!
BACKGROUND
Criticized as one of the more bizarre fad diets around, The Hot Dog Diet is a three-day diet that is rumored to help you lose up to 10 pounds. If you think you’re going to be scarfing down chili dogs for lunch and frankfurters for dinner though, think again.
The Hot Dog Diet is a strict eating plan that allows you to eat just a few hot dogs over the course of the 3 days in addition to ice cream, peanut butter and eggs. These foods are believed to increase metabolism so that you burn calories more quickly and consequently lose weight.
PRO
- May help you lose weight
- Delicious foods
CON
- Very low in calories
- Contains little fruits or vegetables
- Weight gain may be as quick as weight lost
- Little to no nutrients
- The definition of a fad diet
DIET and NUTRITION
While on The Hot Dog Diet, you’ll be consuming a meager 600 calories a day. The diet is very strict eating plan that is low in carbohydrates. On day one, you can expect to eat a piece of toast, two tablespoons of peanut, half a grapefruit and black coffee for breakfast. Lunch is ½ cup of tuna and one slice of toast and dinner is 2 hot dogs, 1 cup of string beans and beets each, one small apple and one cup of vanilla ice cream.
EXERCISE
There are no exercise guidelines given in The Hot Dog Diet.
CONCLUSION
The Hot Dog Diet is a very low calorie diet that may also go by other names like Three-Day Diet, 3-Day Diet, Kaiser 3-Day Diet, 3-Day Navy Diet, and 3-Day Army Diet or the Three-Day Cleveland Clinic Diet, even though it has no connection to The Cleveland Clinic. This deprivation-like diet may help you to lose weight but much of that weight may be due to water rather than actual fat loss so you are likely to gain it all back once you resume your regular eating habits.

I tried this diet and it works. My husband and I each lost 5 lbs every time we tried it. A co-worker lost 25 lbs over 4 weeks of sticking to this diet for Monday-Wednesday, then going back to his normal routine on the days between. My mom dropped 15 lbs in 3 weeks doing the same.
Admittedly, it's not for long term, nor is it lifestyle-changing. However, if you aren't the type to commit to those kind of programs, then at least this takes the pounds off and gives some sense of success to anyone willing to follow it exactly for three days.
I did not like eating the cottage. That was the hardest lunch for me
It work for me it gave me a jump start
