    Nope, nope, nope, nope. As mentioned above, it's a very dangerous diet with a million other names.

    Why would you want to do this with only 16lbs to go?

    Well I kind of decided to do this mostly to re- set my motablism and restart on a good healthy diet I know it's a non sense diet I guess I'm just hoping it will give me a little push in the right direction. I am doing it for three days then going to start a healthy life style. Thanks everyone for the advice☺

    The first few days of my diet I got really lucky: my fridge broke and I had to throw everything away. It gave me a way to start fresh and not feel like I had to wait until I'd eaten up all of the "unhealthy" foods in my fridge.

    OP, I understand that a psychological restart can be really useful. I don't think this diet is going to be very good for that, though. Why not setup your profile with MFP, make it a point to hit your calorie and nutrition goals, and start trying out new foods or new recipes every day or week. You'll get a fresh start and you'll be learning healthy habits as you do it. The military diet won't give you that.

    i went into the army back in the 60's at a weight of 190. When i got out two years later I was 165. C rations back then had over 2000cal. each. plenty of c-rats never hungry just exausted and sometimes too tired to eat. I never want to go on a real military diet again . Stick with healthy foods and keep track of your cico.

    Don't
    Do
    It

    There is no "reset my metabolism". That is BS.

    Don't start something good with stupid.
