First of all you don't know me and shouldn't assume that I would need your advise. I am very familiar with dieting and have tried enough of them to know what works and what doesn't.
The preachers should stop preaching
Rock tossing can be a great calorie burn. Not advice, just a thought.0 -

You clearly don't know what works.0 -
The thing with what i call fad diets are that yea you may lose weight fast but in my opinion its not just about losing weight its about keeping it off as well if wanna lose weight you must change your lifestyle forever not just for a 30 day diet.I personally use intermittent Fasting 8/16 but i will do this for the rest of my life and its realistic and managable0

Call me a hater if you will, but this might be the stupidest sounding thing Ive ever seen
:sick: That's just gross! A whole cup of PLAIN tuna, a banana, and ice cream for the last dinner? I have a garbage disposal for a stomach, but I couldn't choke that down, I'd get sick.
Maybe that's the point--you throw up from the taste of this diet. My 4 year old would make better food choices if left to a "free range" food day (and we're NOT a "clean" eating household by any stretch).0 -
My husband is active duty and he eats Talenti by the pint most nights of the week.
Thankfully mine mostly eats the cheap stuff by the pint. Our current grocery bill is bad enough! :laugh:0 -
First of all just because I've been a member for 2 years doesn't mean I've only lost 8 lbs. of weight over that time. People who are not constructive should just keep their comments to themselves.
I'd argue that what I'm doing here is more constructive than what you're doing here.0 -
maybe the preachers will stop preaching when you stop promoting VLCDsFirst of all you don't know me and shouldn't assume that I would need your advise. I am very familiar with dieting and have tried enough of them to know what works and what doesn't.

What is VLCD and how does it equate to success of dieting if someone needs to lose weight? Is this thing turned on?!?0

Second of all , why are you ASSUMING that we are even talking to you, you aren't even the OP.First of all you don't know me and shouldn't assume that I would need your advise. I am very familiar with dieting and have tried enough of them to know what works and what doesn't.

Third of all, why do you have to keep trying new diets if you know what works?
Fourth of all, I'm gonna go ahead and say it's against TOS to promote a VLCD.

You're very familiar with dieting, so much so that you've tried lots of them? ...pardon me for being all Debbie WTF but someone who had had to try many different diets to find success and is still lookjng fir that success doesn't exactly strike me someone knowledgeable to the point of not needing advice from others.0 -

First of all everyone should stop acting like you know me.
Just to make things straight.
First, I have been put on this diet by my doctor to help me speed up my weight loss and get off some medications. I am under a doctor's care.
Second. I'm sure this forum topic was started by the OP because she wanted some advice from people who have tried it. Not a deluge of negative comments. Some of which have been very very derogatory.
Thirdly, there are diets for morbidly obese that are only 500 calories a day every day.
Give people a chance to communicate with others that are kindred. If this diet is not for you great. Much success with whatever you choose.0 -
Maybe diets which are so extreme they require medical supervision aren't something that should be promoted to complete strangers on the internet.0

As with Kgeyser- My husband is active duty as well and there is no way he eats like that. He puts away twice as much food (maybe more) than I do.0 -

Lady, if you don't like the comments of the general public, don't comment on a public forum.0 -
Maybe diets which are so extreme they require medical supervision aren't something that should be promoted to complete strangers on the internet.
Yes, I agree but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to seek out others in our situations for support, help and advise. That's what I believe these forums are about. It's negative insensitive comments that keep people from connecting. Instead of helping they scare people away.
It's great that there are so many people having success with what they are doing. Congratulations to you all! But that doesn't entitle them to belittle others. Losing weight is a very very hard thing to do and support is so helpful in the process.
Whoever decided to call this the Military diet was an idiot and put it out there. Why not ask a person why they want to do it and offer constructive advice instead.0 -

Here's the thing, 99% of the people who follow diets like this (yes I'm pulling that number from my butt
) are NOT going to do so under medical supervision, and then, a few months down the line they're going to end up posting another thread like this:
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1379930-hair-loss-after-weight-loss
The main forums ARE NOT for discussing VLCD's because for most people there are safer and healthier options. So yes, most of us who have watched this sort of drama play out before are going to be negative about these kinds of diets, because they lead unwary new dieters down unsafe paths.0 -
You can lose up to 40 pounds in a month if this diet is followed precisely.
This is a safe diet and can be used by many different individuals and body types. Exercise is recommended.
40 lbs in one month?? I don't consider that safe at all.0 -
As someone who was in the Army for 6 years, I can say that this diet was never in wide use. It look's unsatisfying. There is nothing magic about any diet. Don't over complicate the process. Eat food you enjoy to a calorie deficit.
Agree. I"ve been in the Army for 21 years and that doesn't look remotely like anything I've seen before.0 -

The creators of this site disagree and have banned the promotion of unhealthy weight loss techniques including VLCDs.
I put in the maximum calories I could for day one of this diet and got 1026. The only reason it was that high is that I chose a higher calorie ice cream. Most people who are dieting will do the opposite and choose something lower, which would put the total around 900 calories. Will 3 days of 1000 calories or less seriously harm a person? Probably not. But there are tons of people in this thread, including the OP, talking about doing this long term. That low of a calorie goal long term should not be promoted in the general forums, where most people are not going to consult their doctors.0 -

Then why did you post??? If you are so "familiar with dieting" what the hell do you need us for? Continue on queen bee.....0 -
So anyhow...
...what's going on in this thread?0 -
I'm fairly sure that there is no "military" diet.
It's about 3500-4000 cals per day along with sh!tloads of running and bodyweight resistance training.0
