I just started the 3 hour diet but not sure of a few things. If you don't get in all your calories you are suppose to have in a day, should you make them up like in a higher cal snack? I weight 194 and would like to loose 30 lbs so I figure I should eat around 1200-1500 cal a day. Or should I forget about the tedious counting and eat healthy and every 3 hours?
The journey to an improved lifestyle begins with the first step.

Just eat healthy every three hours. Eat smaller portions with a protein and a carb. What this does is basically keeps your metabolism burning fat. Most good diet plans will tell you to eat four to five small meals a day along with one low calorie snack.

Good luck and best wishes.
I would also go see a dietitian who can plan a program with you. That'll help you achieve your goal. You don't want to lose too much weight too fast because You'll end up gaining it all back.
Good luck.
I wouldn't "make up" the calories. The point of the diet (I think) is to have well balanced meals of carbs, protein, fat, and fruits/veggies. This is what keeps you full until your next meal (this and lots of water). Depending on your gender and height will determine how many calories you need at each meal. The standard is 3 meals of 400 cals, 2 snacks of 100 cals, and your last treat is 50 cals. This is the best diet I have EVER tried!!! And the ONLY one that has worked. This is the way I eat and is a life long commitment. I def. recommend buying the book. I have the book and the "On The Go" pocket version. They are like my bible. I hope this helped! :)
Best weight loss exercises
There are many exercises for weight loss that are available today. This is especially common when losing weight has become such a serious and a common issue among people in the world where the world has grown health conscious. People are trying to attain perfect bodies and the ideal weight and capitalizing on this are many companies that are offering miracle methods. Some are offering tablets that help you reduce in weeks and some are offering gadgets that will reduce all your body fat in even days. But these methods are mostly unproven and sometimes even dangerous. It is also very dangerous to lose weight suddenly from your body as it can make you fall ill. The tablets should be most avoided as they contain many side effects and also some tablets become addictive. These are only some of the few reasons why the much advertised miracle health plans should be avoided. The best way to lose weight is through dedication and handwork on regular and periodic exercises. Also before embarking on any program one needs to find out whether he or she needs to lose weight in the first place. Losing weight unnecessarily can have ill effects to the body and the mind.
The benefits of losing weight are many. The first of them being that you can avoid many of the health risks. It is a known fact that overweight people tend to attract most of the life threatening diseases. The most common being the heart problems. This is due to the fact that being overweight leads to the accumulation of fats in the body and high cholesterol level. With high cholesterol level, the chances of getting a heart attack are more. Also with higher level of cholesterol a person is more susceptible to high blood pressure and its associated diseases. Being overweight means that you will fall tired very easily. This is because your body is not able to utilize all the fat in your body and convert them into energy. As a result you have to always carry the extra fat around which weigh you down. This causes loss of energy from your body. A person with a lean and a muscular body is also much more attractive. When you have a solid and healthy body confidence in you daily life will come from within you. You can perform your tasks easily and with your full efficiency. Health is the biggest treasure of mankind. Without health a man is nothing.
The best exercises for weight loss are the ones that are practiced regularly. It is not necessary that a person in order to lose weight should join rigorous training. The first thing to do when planning out an exercise routine is to consider the factors of your body and age. Same exercise regimes will not suite everyone. You should first off decide how much weight you need to lose. Then you can form your own exercise regime considering the facts such as your age and the time you can spend and your stamina every day. It is best if you hire a professional trainer and do this together with his consultation. However it is not required that you must hire a professional. If you can estimate your body’s wants and needs then you can plan this out for yourself. Also you can take online help in finding the regime that is best suited for you. The most important things here are to make the regime that fits for you and then stick to it. There is no point in exercising for a day or so and then discontinuing. Repetition is the key to losing weight and gaining a healthy body.
You should be careful not to over work yourself. The biggest danger while working out is that you tend to over work yourself. This leads to excessive use of your muscles that may lead to injuries. This means that you can permanently damage some muscles in your attempt to make them stronger. Once those muscles are damage or torn it may take several days for them to heal back. Sometimes the damage can be permanent also. Therefore it is very dangerous to embark on heavy workout without proper guidance or training. Do not work out more than the strain that your body can take. You cannot become Mr. Perfect in three days. Only with continuous efforts and regular workouts can you achieve the perfect bodies. Start slow and see how much work your body can withstand. Once you known your limits you can set up your workout regime within these limits. This will help you to work out most safely and efficiently. Also make progress in you training. Try going beyond your limits in very little amounts every day. This will help you to raise the bar in you levels of stamina and endurance.
The main exercise that you should be concentrating on is cardiovascular diseases. These can be simple exercise like walking to more rigorous work outs. But walking is most recommended especially to beginners. This also serves as a good warm up exercise to all your body parts. To progress from walking you can take up running. You should make it a point that you work out for minimum of 30 minutes every day and try working out for 45 minutes. As you get more and more accustomed to the exercise that you perform, you can raise the bar of your limits progressively on them. Jogging is also recommended. The number of calories that you can burn during one session of training is the speed at which you can run of jog. It is also true that jogging uphill will cause you to lose more calories. Although one should be careful as jogging as a high impact on the joints of your body. It is safer to jog on customized treadmills than to jog on plain roads. Another important aspect while on a training regime is to stay on a healthy diet. To stay on a diet will give you the extra energy that you need to help you gain a beautiful and a perfect body.
