The Three Hour Diet is a weight loss method, designed by Jorge Cruise, that lets you eat every three hours, to help keep your metabolism active and control your appetite. The only problem is that it may be difficult to arrange your life around a strict schedule of meals every three hours. With a little ingenuity, however, you can manage to live and work while following The Three Hour Diet.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Read the book. Jorge Cruise's "Three-Hour Diet" is available online and in bookstores and libraries everywhere.

  2. Step 2

    Make a meal plan. Depending on your schedule, set your breakfast time earlier or later in the day, just be sure to eat every three hours. A sample schedule would be: breakfast at 7 a.m., snack at 10 a.m., lunch at 1 p.m., snack at 4 p.m. and dinner at 7 p.m.

  3. Step 3

    Stock up on snacks that average about 100 calories, such as half of a large apple, ten almonds or cashews or premade, low-calorie diet snacks. Keep a wide variety of these snacks in your cupboard, your desk at work and even your car's glove box.

  4. Step 4

    Travel with food. Whether you are spending the day at work, at the beach or running errands, make sure you have a lunch box with handy snacks for your break times.

  5. Step 5

    Eat the right proportions. In The Three Hour Diet, what you eat isn't as important as how much you eat. Cover half your plate with vegetables, add a serving of carbohydrates the size of a Rubik's cube and a serving of protein the size of a deck of cards. Eat and enjoy.

Tips & Warnings
  • Do not skip meals or snacks. The entire diet plan is based on eating every three hours. If you skip one of your scheduled eating times, you are counteracting the effectiveness of the diet.
