3 day Military Diet?

This 3 day diet is a jump start to get you losing! You have to follow it as stated. Not good to change the foods on this diet, because it is a chemical breakdown to lose the fat. It is hard to do and you do feel like you are starving and the end of 2nd and 3rd day. If followed correctly you can lose 8 to 10 lbs.

Please explain how you can chemically breakdown the fat! You lose fat due to a calorie deficit. You feel like you are starving because you are... this "diet" doesn't give you enough of the things your body needs.

Sure, you can lose 8-10lbs if you follow it but for what when you will most likely gain it all back when you are done. Even if you dont gain it all back, it is NOT 8-10lbs of fat loss during those three days. Say you lose 9lbs... in order for it to be fat you would have to be at a deficit of 31500 calories for those three days. With an average TDEE of say 2500 cals a day... that's only 7500 calories of a deficit if you ate nothing for those three days...

Don't look for shortcuts. Eat properly, exercise and drink enough water and you will lose weight. Don't go after fad diets that are severly unhealthy.

I could prolly stick to it for 3 days...yea I know I can. What do I do for day 4-rest of my life?

i did it last year and lost 7 pounds but gained it back with holidays it works but some of the food is bland.

This diet is okay but I'm a much bigger fan of the all pixie stix 72 hour 30lb shed diet. It's a little extreme but it works great. I got it off the back off a Willy Wonka wrapper so it must be safe. HA! See! I can make up absolutely absurd diet plans that make no sense as well! Time to sign up for Pintrest I guess

I am making lifestyle changes and have no issues in doing so, I was just asking if anyone had heard about it or used it, no reason for smart *kitten* comments. It is very low carb as when I entered day 1 into MFP I wasn't even at 1,000 calories no way I could go that low.

There's your answer. Anyone saying "it works"...well of course it will "work"....eat barely anything and stuff that is god awful bland and you will drop a few lbs. But why do that to yourself?

It isn't going to jump start anything...it's going to drain you of some water weight and that's it. Instead, eat at a decent deficit and exercise , fuel your body appropriately and I assure you that you will lose actual fat along the way.. The chemical breakdown shakedown thingy is just a load of fooey.

Not sure where they get "military" out of this... If you have never been in the military, think of a chow hall as a high school cafeteria for adults. You can make just as many good/bad decisions, and you certainly don't have anyone telling you to "eat X and nothing else."

I'm going to echo the sentiment of not looking at fads. The Dukan Diet made my husband and me lose a lot of weight in a short amount of time, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. You have to make choices that you can live with. If a diet is a short term solution, the weight loss will be a short term benefit.

I had a recruiter give me a 3-day diet plan (different than the one you describe) hoping I could lose the 20 pounds I would need to join up.

I tried it, it sucked, decided to get money for college elsewhere.

I heard of this diet from a friend of mine who works out all the time. She informed me that when she went on this diet she lost 7lbs not 10, so with that being said my goal was to drop 7 lbs in three days. I went out to the store brought everything I needed I followed the diet to the T. I could not wait to get on the scale to see what I had lost because after being on this diet for three days I had to admit I did feel a lot lighter. I didnt feel as sluggish as I had normally felt. I also worked out as the diet suggested. I decided to start on Friday because the weekend is usually when I usually eat crazy or fall off of my diet. So when Monday came I was super excited about gettin on the scale. When I got on the scale I was so DISAPPOINTED to find that I only dropped 2lbs :noway: ....However I am going to try this diet again maybe I did something wrong (so in denial about this diet not working for me). I start it today and will post my before and after weight if I only drop two lbs again I will just make this my weekend diet and do something else during the regular work week...stay tune as I will post my results on Friday :smooched:

If you want to kill yourself, there are far more efficient methods.

If you want to lose weight and be healthy, you might look at any one of HUNDREDS of threads on this site about the dangers of being this stupid. Better still, you could look at one of the THOUSANDS of threads about how people have been successful.

Fitness tips on Pinterest = LOL.

"HOW TO LOSE YOUR LOVEHANDLES IN SIX WEEKS!"

Spot reduction = facepalm.

I tried it I got very sick... Horrible idea diets are just bad

What I want to know is who in the SAM HELL thought up this bullsh!%!!!! I was in the Marine Corps for 5 yrs and heard some crazy ways to pass a weigh in, but this was never one of them!!! I have heard before to rub down you middle area with A&D ointment and wrap yourself with saran wrap. I've heard people going to the gym right before they are supposed to get taped (measured) and working out their necks, because the bigger your neck, the less your body fat % will be (which is actually true for the USMC body composition program.) But never this crap. I hate to say it, but every Marine is a Fat Kid at heart (and I mean that with the love), we just PT it all off! This crap is CRAZY!!!!

I tried this to help me because normally when I workout and eat healthy I dont lose as much as others who weigh more than me which is very discouraging. If we are doing the same workout and eating the same foods why are they losing 6 lbs to my .05lbs. That is very discouraging. I mean I do have a high muscle mass and I am aware that muscle weighs more that fat I am also aware that since I dont weigh as much as they do they are going to lose bigger than I will, however when you're putting in the same work and eating just as carerfully all of those factors do not make me feel better about the outcome of the scale and before anyone says anything.I know that I should pay more attention to my overall lost meaning inches and not just the scale but when that scales does not move and I'm doing my best and staying faithful it doesnt make me feel good it makes me feel as if maybe I should have ate that slice of cake :explode: then I would accept the scale not moving or going up in numbers.But when I get on the scale and see movement in the numbers going down that makes me want to stick to it and keep going. I am currently 135.8lbs I will weigh in again on Friday after I complete this three day diet. Oh I forgot to include it also doesnt help when I have two sisters who eat like grown men never exercise and have perfect bodies I mean curves in all the right places and flat abs

in response to this comment "being this stupid" if you have something positive to add please do so but please leave the negative comments to yourself #happydieting
