military diet

P.s. I think there is a lot of misunderstanding around here. A diet that has a single low calorie day or period of low calories, is often mislabeled as very low calorie. That's absurd. You have to look at the average for the week.

The diet creates a calorie deficit and works by only lasting 3 days. The passion against it is misplaced. I do not follow the military diet in particular but I vary my caloric intake to great success. Everyone is different. A diet of consuming nearly the same amount of calories each day would not work for me

A diet of consuming the same caloric deficit each day works for everyone. A 3 day caloric deficit works for nobody.

That's like intermittent fasting. You eat very very low calorie (or not at all) for a day or two out of the week, and then maintenance the rest of the week. You are just eating at a regular deficit, not extremely low calorie all the time.

Yep. And yep. Don't worry, it won't take long for this thread to get nuked.

Yupp. I worked it out one day and I think it came out to 800 calories a day.
