I need to lose some weight and don't want to start any long diet plans or purchase any food plans (weight watchers, nutrisystem, etc) so I was doing some research about the Military Plan.. Seems a good way to lose some weight but at a quick time.. Do you think is a good plan to do? If not why wouldn't it work? Or have you tried it ? Were you successfull? I'm considering this.. Any advice good or bad would be recommended.. Thank you.

I'm just going to copy & paste my previous reply for this type of thread:
These threads are running rampant today.
Look, most people on here have had success with maintaining a calorie deficit and putting in some old fashioned plain hard work (exercise). It works. It does. Calorie deficit = weight loss. You don't have to adhere to any other rules but that. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.0 -
I hate all these "plans"... maybe they work for some but not for me.... I eat normal... just not as much, not as bad, not as often and have lost over 35 lbs. So without even knowing what the plan is I would say No Good LOL but again everyone is different0

Ah I see here.. Sorry about the "dup" thread, my apologies.. I see where this is going, eaiser for the natural way..
Gotcha makes sense.. Sorry again about duplicate topics..0 -
It's the descent of a yo-yo. When it comes back up, you will have lost a little muscle and replaced it with fat. You will end up just the teensiest bit fatter than you are now. I avoid plans designed to make me fatter.0

If you want to become fit like an enlisted service member, TRAIN and EAT like one. Being the in the military is not a short-term program. It's a lifestyle change.0

I think you can get MREs by the case full at an Army/Navy store. Might be a tad better than Lean Cuisine... at least they come with cute little Tabasco bottles.0

I was in the military. They worked our butts off and we ate everything and as much as we could get of it.0

Really it shouldn't be a "diet" but more of a healthy new approach to food? that's the way I feel anyway,I still get to eat chocolate but in moderation and I'm feeling tons better already0

Not being rude but this was the truth for me and worked amazing....
I did the "Swearing of Fad Diets" Diet....and i have not looked back.0 -
Generally any diet that cycles a few foods (and often very specific foods, not entire food **groups**) over a short few days is not going to do you any real good. You're not getting enough nutrients, you sure as hell aren't getting enough variety, and you won't have a back-up plan for when the allotted days are over.
It's ill advised from the start.0 -
I'm still disgusted by things like this. Putting "military" or "bootcamp" in front of something doesn't make it "bada**", "hardcore" or anything else like that.
Do you want to know a real military diet? Look at the food pyramid. Government food follows government documentation. Trust me, I'm with the government.
The best thing you can do is eat a little better (and a little less) move a bit more, and have some patience0 -
Being a former Marine, I simply don't like the fact that they advertise these as "military diets" or Marine Commando diets" or whatever...When I was in the Marines I was pretty much paid to train and ate at least 4,000 calories per day...and I'm probably estimating low.
Also...having tried a couple of "diets" in the past, I can tell you that I always had success...but never sustained success. Learning how to manage your caloric intake and understanding input/output of calories is key to sustained success in weight control. In the absence of that, most fail long term. Just my $.02.0 -

Or a reese cup! They handed them out like candy during the hurricane so I think there's an extra case or two hanging around here.0 -
All the food I had in the military sucked. But if you are serious, set your goals to lose two pounds a week, buy a load of veggies, fruit and whole grains - then go run a few miles 3 times a week.0

It's simple. Stop putting garbage in your mouth. Abstain from processed foods, no soda (not even diet), limit your carb intake. Eat clean. Prepare your own meals (not from a box or frozen bag).
Then, go lift some weights and do cardio on the off days.0 -
