3-Hour Diet

It works for me!! I feel some much better after eating SMALL portions throughout the day. I have more energy. I just need to be consistent with eating this way and I will see the results that I so desperately desire. A friend introduced me to this concept after losing 30 pounds by eating every 3 hours. At first, I was skeptical about eating so much on a daily basis and not worrying about what I eat. I had never heard of such. It is called the 3-Hour Diet.



The book is not available at the library where I work. So, I googled the title and found an informative article from WebMD about the 3-Hour Diet.

  • Jorge Cruise believes that eating this way increases your metabolic rate--how fast your body burns calories, increase energy, and decrease appetite.
  • Cruise believes that portions are very important as well as timing. And that there are no bad foods, just bad portions. If you learn to eat the right portion, at the right time, you will lose weight.
  • Bottom line: (1) Eat breakfast within one hour of rising (2) Eat every three hours thereafter (3) Stop eating three hours before bedtime.

The latter is the hardest for me to do because I get off of work at 9pm. And, I am hungry when I get home. And, even more after riding my bike for 30 -45 mins.
