3 Hour Diet
What is the 3 Hour Diet
Jorge Cruise is famous for his “8 minutes” series. A renowned fitness trainer, He has capitalized on the popularity of short workout routines. The 3-Hour diet is a logical extension to his fitness routines, bringing in a diet regime to suit the average consumer.
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.
Meals are based on a source of lean protein, (generally low-GI) carbs, and healthy fats (the author plugs Flax Seed Oil). The major selling points of the book are the various fast food and frozen food recommendations. This factor appeals to many, as so many of us live such time-constrained lives. The calorie amounts of the suggested daily meals amount to 1450 calories per day.
