Three Day Military Diet?

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 managable

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:

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

maybe the preachers will stop preaching when you stop promoting VLCDs

Second of all , why are you ASSUMING that we are even talking to you, you aren't even the OP.

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.

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.

Maybe diets which are so extreme they require medical supervision aren't something that should be promoted to complete strangers on the internet.

I'll drink to that.

Call me a hater if you will, but this might be the stupidest sounding thing Ive ever seen.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When I Googled it earlier this thread popped up:

Or that. Why didn't I just do that? :laugh: :flowerforyou:

So anyhow...
