The three day chemical breakdown diet, also known as the Birmingham Hospital Diet is a diet famously known for helping you lose nine to ten pounds in three days. I have written about this diet before, but at that point I just referred to it as the three day diet. Recently I was asked what the three day chemical breakdown diet was and after a bit of searching, found that it was the same thing. The bottom line is that it works, though the likelihood is that the weight lost is water weight.
