The 3-day diet of Dr. Migliaccio , late medical nutritionist, dietician, gastroenterologist and former president of Sisa (Italian Society of Nutritional Science), is a last-minute or compensation diet designed for those who have gone a little overboard during the week end and wants to get back in shape right away.

In fact, it happens during the weekend to overdo the Saturday dinner by eating out and to have an invitation for Sunday lunch.

In this case we find ourselves exaggerating for two days in a row (or even three if we consider some excess on Friday) and having the need to deflate and lose the accumulated weight.

The 3-day diet is a good compromise: it is not a diet to be followed for longer, and it provides a more restrictive day on Monday (substantially based on fruit), when even for the previous days it is easier to downsize with food. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are days when you eat in a balanced way but without overdoing the portions.
Let’s see it together!

THE 3-DAY DIET OF DOCTOR MIGLIACCIO

Breakfast: 100 ml (about half a glass) of semi-skimmed milk + a seasonal fruit of your choice. Coffee or tea as usual but without sugar (ok stevia or other zero calorie sweeteners)
Snack: a seasonal fruit
Lunch: a couple of fruit salad without added sugar (ok lemon juice) or about 250/300 gr of mixed fruit season.
Snack: a seasonal fruit
Dinner:  fresh fruit cut or fruit salad without added sugar.
Recommended fruit for Monday: apples, kiwis, oranges, clementines, pears, pineapple, cantaloupe, peach. Better to avoid instead: avocados, persimmons, bananas, grapes or other very sugary fruits.

Lunch: a plate of raw vegetables including fennel, celery, salad, valerian, songino, Belgian endive, radicchio, cucumbers.
A medium portion of fresh fish (about 120 gr) or natural tuna (116 gr portion) + 40 grams of toast + a portion of cooked vegetables to taste.
Dinner: see lunch.
Snacks: Not scheduled for day two and three. If you are hungry you can help yourself with cucumbers, celery, raw fennel.
Water: drink two liters a day.

Physical activity: refrain from heavy physical activity in the 3-day diet, opting for half an hour of brisk walking.

For those who have problems eating fruit on the first day: do it on Mondays like Tuesdays and Wednesdays, excluding toasted bread for both lunch and dinner and opting for 200 grams of low-sugar fruit in all for snacks
