What is the 3-Day Red Carpet Diet?

The 3-Day Red Carpet Diet is a weight loss pill that purports to help you lose weight in three days. Manufacturers of the 3-Day Red Carpet Diet pills claim that these pills will help you lose weight by controlling your appetite, eliminating your water weight and cleansing your digestive system. Manufacturers do not, however, claim that you will lose fat as a result of the diet. You should speak with a medical professional prior to taking 3-Day Red Carpet Diet pills.

Ingredients

According to "Pain Relievers, Diet Pills, & Other Over-the-Counter Drugs," the 3-Day Red Carpet Diet pills contain caffeine, uva ursi leaf, buchu leaf, juniper berry fruit, cornsilk stylus and hydrangea root. Additionally, these diet pills contain galangal rhizome extract, cinnamon bark extract, gelatin, cellulose, magnesium stearate senna leaf extract, milk thistle seed, dandelion root and artichoke leaf. They also contain carob, apple fiber, tamarind extract, date and fig fruit, couchgrass rhizome, silica and green tea leaf extract.

Pros

One of the benefits of the 3-Day Red Carpet Diet is that the diet only lasts for three days. As of 2011, the price point of the diet pills is approximately $60, which is expensive compared to other products because this price only includes a three-day supply. On the other hand, since this diet only lasts for three days, you will not need to purchase a month-long supply. Additionally, the psychological impact of this three-day diet can motivate you to go on a real diet that involves controlling your food intake, exercising and life changes.

Cons

The 3-Day Red Carpet Diet does not have an official manufacturer and website where you can obtain concrete information about this product. Further, these diet pills are more of a cleanse than a true diet product that allows you to lose weight and keep the weight off. Additionally, this product contains caffeine, a stimulant that can have unwanted side effects. Further, as a short-term diet supplement, any weight loss benefits realized from taking the 3-Day Red Carpet Diet will not last over time.

Precaution

Losing an excessive amount of fluids in a relatively short amount of time can dehydrate you and cause an electrolyte imbalance in your body. According to "The Diet Pill Book: A Consumer's Guide to Prescription and Over-the-Counter Weight-Loss Pills and Supplements," uva ursi, one of the diet pill's ingredients, is an extremely powerful astringent that will constrict your body tissues. Your body produces a chemical called hydroquinone in response to uva ursi. If you have liver problems or tinnitus you should not take this product. You should always consult your doctor before taking the 3-Day Red Carpet Diet pills.
