The tuna and water diet is up for any smart modifications one chooses to make once he or she has established the first critical steps the diet is designed to achieve:
1) the accomplishment of a three-day goal
2) the personal reinforcement of realizing a tough commitment
3) setting an often long-procrastinated and dreaded plan into effect
4) creating a healthy habit
5) initiating and developing the precious character of discipline, and
6) the reality of the plan’s physical results — lost weight and chemistry changes, minor as they might be in the early stages of the journey.
I like to extend the diet for a week or 10 days. The classic application is three days on as much tuna as you can tolerate in four to six equal proportions throughout the day with all the water you can consume. The rigidness and purity of the diet is right on and an important part of the routine’s order, discipline, challenge and strategy — call it a test.
“Be strong,” is my encouragement, or admonishment, depending on the attending ear. Anything less than strong is, of course, weak. I have a few friends who don’t see it that way, but they’re having desert at the moment.
A great time to do this is last few weeks of your cycle. Maybe drop down the test and deca and up the winny or primo or eq. Others choose to run a 3-5 day diet at the first of each month, or whatever suits them.It is part of their life as it renews us mentally and physically.
Once you cross over the badlands, you come out 3-10 days latter, knowing what you are made of. You will have lost weight, not lost any muscle,will be proud of yourself, and will have total control over your eating. Now you can make modifications to the diet to suit your needs: add to the tuna all the salad you want for the remainder of the week, or you can substitute equal amounts of poultry in place of the tuna. After a week of smart eating, low fat dairy products can be added to the menu – cottage cheese, yogurt, milk, eggs. In two weeks some folks will be ready to visit the butcher again for those steaks our muscles love. Just stay away from the crap. You know what the crap is ..I do not have to tell you. Stay on this 10 days and you are on your way to ripdom.
