Military diet?????

I saw this diet and I wanted to see if it was possible to function on it. Day one was so easy, almost too much food for me. Day 2 Breakfast was perfect, something I want to incorporate into regular eating habits. But I never eat after 7 pm so when 10:30 rolled around I was dead. I was so hungry and had a huge headache. I am starting day 3, I am pretty nervous about how the day will go. Good tips, drink lots of water if you try it.
I have been working out at least an hour every day while on the diet, that's no change to my usual work out schedule though.
Like I said, I am not doing this diet to try and loose the promised 10lbs of weight loss, I just wanted to see if a) I had the strength in me to finish the diet and not give up on it and b) see if I was still a functioning human being through out the day.

Sounds more like the Dysentery Diet....

I'm on day 3 of this 3 day "diet". I'm not dead yet but I'm not sure how much weight I've lost, if any. I'll weigh in tomorrow then post results here.

I've seen a lot of people make comments about this being called the "military diet". They say "I was/am in the military and we didn't/don't eat like this." I'm pretty sure everyone knows we don't actually eat like this in the military.

It seems the reason this is the "military" diet is because supposedly people in the military would eat like this before a tape/weigh in. I was a combat engineer for 10 years and I don't recall anyone ever doing this. But that's neither here nor there. The name of the diet is irrelevant. What counts is the results.

Other people are talking about sustainability or the lack thereof. Welcome to the Obvious Club. This diet obviously isn't meant to be sustained for more than it's 3 days on 4 days off cycle and even then it's obvious this should not be a lifestyle choice. It seems to be for those looking for a quick way to drop a few pounds in a few days.

However....everything about this diet screams "WRONG!". No matter what fitness camp you're in the science all points to the same things: create a healthy calorie defect, eat 5-6 times a day, get the right ratio of C/F/P, hydrate, move. This diet is lacking and goes against some fundamental rules about nutrition and weight loss.

As we all know there is no quick fix to lose weight. You either put in the time and effort to lose it the right way or you don't. There is no in-between.

Bit extreme that!

*sigh*.............

I must have been either dead tired through my whole time in the Corps because I never heard of such thing? I don't know if this might be from another branch but it's plain stupid sorry for the word... stop kidding yourself there's no diet plan, just change the way you eat to achieve your goals!

I feel like I should keep going but I shall hold back...

Military diet---> my guess is they named it the military diet because most people in the military are fit. The best way for permanent weight loss is through proper diet and exercise. Please refrain from trying such because it does not break bad eating habits. Try to focus on a lifestyle change versus a quick fix.

I'd rather do the GM diet over that...

And even then, the only true way you are going to lose weight and keep it off is to exercise, eat under your calories and try to fit your macros, and be patient. I've heard it said, and have said it myself many times, if it has the word "diet" in it, it's probably not good for you in the long run.

its garbage.
