Research Notes on 3 Day Cardiac Diet
The 3 day cardiac diet is a fad diet. This diet has been around for several years and has assumed a variety of different names.1 The 3 day cardiac diet claims if you follow a strict menu for three days, then you eat normal for four days and then back to the 3 day diet plan, you can decrease your weight by about forty pounds within a month.2 It is always recommended that first speak with your physician before starting any diet.
Fast Facts:
- This diet has assumed a variety of names, some of which include, American Heart Association 3-day diet, Alabama 3 day diet, and Hershey Medical Center 3 day diet.3
- Despite the names, neither the AHA nor any hospital endorses this diet.
- The 3 day cardiac diet is considered unhealthy for individuals with heart disease.2
- According to registered dietitians, this diet is high in saturated fat, cholesterol, and does not promote healthy eating habits for healthy weight management.2
- A healthy cardiac diet is designed as a part of a heart healthy treatment plan which will help lower cholesterol and blood pressure in people with a history of heart disease.4
