3 Hour Diet Plan
The 3 Hour diet is all about meal frequency. By eating every 3 hours, blood sugar levels will be more consistent and the bodies metabolism will remain in a heightened state.
For most people this will equate to about 5 meals per day - breakfast, lunch, and dinner - with two snacks in between. The 3-Hour diet addresses processed and fast foods - and much of the sales pitch of the book is about being able to lose weight and still eat some “junk” foods.
Food groups should always be combined - i.e. protein should be eaten with carbohydrates and fat (and fruit and vegetables where possible). Cruise recommends drinking 8 glasses of water per day.
