Yeah, I spent 27 + years in the military and can tell you that eating balanced meals and increasing fruits and veggies is the "military diet" not anything that will make you lose 10lbs in 3 days. It's not good for you and it's not sustainable.0

You'll lose some water weight and maybe a little fat. You'll gain most of that back within days of stopping. There's a chance you'll over do it coming off the restrictive diet, so you'll gain the fat back too (possibly plus some). If you do this over and over again you'll start burning lean mass, which will reduce your BMR and make it harder to maintain weight loss long term.
I was in the military. The real military diet is three well balanced meals and a solid day of hard work followed by a long run.

It's just a VLCD with "military" slapped onto the name to give it legitimacy. The whole food pairing thing is complete bunk. You lose water weight, some muscle, and a little fat because you're eating very few calories, and that's all.
Just be reasonable and patient. This is going to take some time.0 -
military diet? you mean the 5k calorie MRE - yes please0

Pretty sure it's called the Military Diet for people in the military trying to lose weight fast for their weigh ins. I remember doing this diet once about 20 years ago and it was the most depressing, blandest 3 days of my life. I probably lost weight but then gained it right back. There is no quick fix. Just eat at a calorie deficit and eat stuff you love, in moderation.0

No.
It's just a quick fix that has had several other names over the years, including the Mayo Clinic Diet and the Fax Diet.

As a WW member of 18+ years, I can honestly say I like MFP better. Getting used to logging vegies was the biggest pain of it, but its free and really works. Very similar principles.0 -
You know that weight watchers is just like MFP. It's a way to count calories, but you have to pay for them to set it up for you.0 -
why would you even want to do that to yourself???????????0

It doesn't work. Don't waste your time using it. Instead, just eat right, exercise, and watch your calories and portions.0

My sister just finished with a 9# weight loss. I'm on day two- I realize this is a fad and such, but to me, it's given me a nice little motivational jump start watching the scale go down, so for me- it has its benefits and I am enjoying a nice little jump start0 -
I wouldn't bother doing this. The only true fire ways to lose weight is eat right and exercise. Eat and stick to protein, veggies, fruits, and water only. Trying to cut corners thinking eating this one thing, taking this one supplement, and what not is never going to get you to where you want to be. Don't waste your money or time.
