I've heard about the military diet and was wondering if anyone has tried it and what were your results. I went to Google for the plan and it's meal items seems to be the bare minimum, hence the name military diet. I would like to hear opinions even if you haven't tried it. Thanks!

It's an unsustainable plan that would probably compromise the health of anyone who managed to adhere to it long enough to achieve actual weight loss.0

I would assume an actual military diet would be pretty high cal, since the goal is running your *kitten* off, building muscle, and combat training. If this is that, it's for building muscle, not losing. If this is a rip off someone decided to call a military diet because "just because" I know nothing about it.0

Hi Meg! If you keep to it exactly for the three days you will loose 10lbs. I have done it three times. Obviously it is not a long term diet but, if you are looking for a quick fix it does work.

Don't do it, it's seriously dumb. Pick a reasonable calorie deficit, and do this over and over again. Win win0

The military diet is a joke. Someone's toddler must have made it up and then they posted it to see who was gullible enough to try it - hot dogs, ice cream and saltines? Zero nutritional value - just a very low calorie diet and you're likely to gain everything back once you start eating again. Total nonsense. Just eat at a deficit and get some extra movement in. Stop looking for the quick fix - gotta do the work to get the lasting results.0

It's not worth it. You'll probably lose a couple pounds but it's unsustainable. Just set a goal for yourself in MFP and log everything. Much more efficient and better long term.0

I did it last year. I lost 10 lbs. then I gained them back over the weekend. Then I did the diet again the next week and lost the 10 lbs back off. Then I gained them back over the weekend.
It is not healthy. You do lose weight, but as soon as you stop eating the exact foods it tells you to eat, you gain back what you lost.0 -

If you can't sustain a normal 2-5 pound loss what makes you think those 10 pounds of mostly water are going to stay off?0 -

I would try to identify the issue that had me gaining and losing the same weight over and over before trying a fad diet. If you take off 10 pounds in water weight, it will come back on when you resume your normal eating.0 -
