It can be noticed that in-between snacks are not in the tables. However, should a dieter wish to have a snack, he can have a combination of 1 sugar-free gelatin and 1 fruit, or 1 sugar-free gelatin and 1 vegetable, to eat. Fruits that contain vitamin C would be useful because it can help in quickening of the digestion process. Different kinds of fruits must be taken for every snack. This is in accordance to what we previously mentioned that a food variety can create a positive reaction to our digestive system.

In general, the 3-day diet contains basic nutritional foods. This diet plan has just enough amount of foods to allow a dieter sustain a day without having to lack energy for his body. For breakfast, the juice, coffee, or tea provides the body with an instrument to digest the foods that the body will take for the day. The slice of toast and peanut butter is a good source of carbohydrates. The cheese, on the other hand, provides the bones with just enough calcium without having the need to take milk for the 3-day diet. Milk should be avoided in the 3-day diet because it is a rich source of fat and calories. The apple and banana that are suggested for breakfast can provide more nutrition to the body that helps in the digestion process.

For lunch, the tuna, which is a kind of sea foods, is another important type of food that we everyone must eat. Hence, this is included in our diet plan. Again, it must be noted though that just enough amount should be eaten during the course of diet. Part of lunch is a source of carbohydrates such as the crackers and toasted bread. Black coffee or tea is again a part of our diet meal for lunch to help one's body digest the food he eats.
