"I followed it with utmost dedication and due to an injured knee I was unable to do any kind of workout. By the end of the 2nd day I had lost 3kgs and at the end of the 3rd day I was 3.8kgs down. It was a fun diet and the only difficulty I faced was having just 3 meals in the whole day," Roy wrote as she goes on to mention the difficulty she faced in limiting her food intake.
