Sounds like a good way to be extremely hungry for 3 days. Crash diet isn't needed. I wouldn't recommend doing it.0

One of the dumbest Very Low Calorie diets I've ever seen. The military don't eat like that. Why should you? It you must follow a fad diet, how about the Cabbage Soup diet? ....and you don't have to follow the diet to the letter, ...and you have a nice pot of sustaining cabbage soup.0

I'm sorry, why do they call this the military diet?
"The Military Diet provides under 1000 calories a day" - In boot camp you try to eat as much as possible in the very short amount of time you're given, you don't starve yourself.0 -
It's call basic, I lost 20 pounds in 8 weeks and served for three years; playing around with chemical rounds was a bonus.0

And chicken! Lots of chicken!! It comes with every meal0

Man we've seen this on here before, I don't know how they get such a low calorie diet out of anything military. They fed us a chit load, we stayed thin from all the physical work and training.0

Well, if you restrict yourself to eating MREs, you might end up losing weight solely because they're kind of unappetizing. (And MRE improvement recipes should be a whole cooking contest show featuring veterans, because those men and women know a thing or two about messing around with MREs to make them taste marginally better!)0

You know the military doesn't eat like that, right?
I predict day 4 brings all the foods to you...0 -
In short, no.
And for results- you'll be hungry, and it won't help you in the long run any more than a more reasonable deficit will.
Follow the site as designed. It works.0 -
In addition to the awesome responses above, if you utilize the search function, you'll see that this "diet" comes up quite a lot. The general consensus across the board is just say no to crash diets and eat in a caloric deficit.
The three day military diet is not healthy or sustainable, and it will not help you one bit along your journey.0 -
OK so day 1, I've survived but I'm so hungry! OK I feel as if I should changed my question, what do you do to make up for over indulging?0

Eat a few less calories the next day? Don't worry about it and get back to what I was doing, understanding that one day is going to make no difference whatsoever in the grand scheme of things?
OP, try not to worry so much about one day. It's not going to hurt your long term goals. Just get back on the horse today, and move forward. Simple as that.
Weight loss is not that complicated.0 -

You can start again. Get back on schedule and follow your calorie allowance. I've been there but I can tell you for me cutting back a lot to make up just caused the overeating to worsen. Just call it a mulligan and follow forward.0 -

Nothing! Log it, and move on, tomorrow is another day.
This "military diet is only off by about 6000 calories. I did 8 years, and 3-5000 calories is a typical day, and upwards of 7000 during intense training. This diet you're on is nothing but a crash diet, and a perfect recipe for epic failure.

Water under the bridge. Every day is a fresh start. Really. Love your food, enjoy your choices every day.
