Day 3, Final day of Grapefruit and Egg diet

I did not follow directions today, therefore I am starving and cranky right now.
I had a million things to do today and I just wanted to stop somewhere and eat something. I didn't of course, because I am too stubborn to let a stupid 3 day diet beat me.
I was out running errands when it was time for my afternoon snack and I didn't get home until after dinner time. I went to the gym this morning for a while, then I was doing taxes for my brother this morning, then his FAFSA, then registering him for the ACT, then went grocery shopping, then babysat while grocery shopping, then picked up someone's kid from day care, then took her home, then took the other kids to my house, then I had to make them dinner because they were whining about being hungry, then I finally made my stupid dinner of 4 oz of chicken and a salad.
When I sat down to eat my dinner I hated the salad for being salad, so I ate the chicken and left most of the salad. Then since I didn't get my afternoon snack I decided to cut up my apple and eat it, but I'm still babysitting so the girls were eating my apple slices too, which only frustrated me more, because I was hungry, I didn't want to share. What was I supposed to do though? Yell at them for eating my apple?
Anyway, so now I'm not as hungry as before but the salad is still sitting on my plate. I probably should eat it, but I hate it so much right now and I just want to eat more meat...with A1 sauce.
I haven't even gotten a shower yet today. I'd say this is a negative day.
I'm glad I'm taking the weekend off. Next week will be the 3 apple a day diet. Its also 3 days long.

Sounds like a bad day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for food purposes and life in general.

The premise of this diet is that the chemical make-up of the food you're eating somehow works together to create a faster metabolism, and therefore fat burn. The reality of it is that it is like a 1200 calorie/day diet. Skip it all together - figure out what foods have the most nutritional value and fewer calories and stick to those. You don't actually have to COUNT calories every day, just make a list of high-fiber foods, high-protein foods, low-fat foods, preferably foods that meet 2 or more of those categories and make your menus/meals from that list. YOU NEED VARIETY or it will never work. You'll look at that plain chicken breast and salad and want to throw it across the room! When you go to the grocery store (or produce stand) but your fruits and veggies fresh and seasonal (to save on cost), but buy small quantities so that they don't rot before you eat them. And who wants to buy a 10lb. bag of apples and eat every last one in order to avoid throwing rotten ones away???
