I been eating healthy for over a month now, but i came across this diet on YouTube ppl actually say it works. I just want to give it a try & see if its the real deal or not
How is the military diet healthy tho? If you're trying to lose weight and keep it off maybe you should look into a lifestyle change.... try CICO.0 -

It's not, It's horse$#!^ and it's a VLCD, which makes it an especially bad idea. Besides, you don't have a lot of weight to lose. Your best course of action is to lift heavy, eat moderately, and do a little cardio if you want, but you should run from this "diet" as fast as you can. But hey, you're going to do what you want to do, if yo-yo's are your thing, then go nuts, embrace failure coated in ignorance, it's your life.

That's the thing though. People say it works because the scale goes down. The problem is the scale goes down because of water loss. If you're trying to squeeze into a dress for a special event in two days, the military diet might be effective because it's going to temporarily relieve you of some bloat. If you're trying to lose bodyfat, get healthier, and maintain whatever you lose, this won't do squat.0 -

I haven't had any for awhile, but pre-kids, my wife and I used to do a lot of backpacking and I'd always bring a couple MREs.0 -
Its take 3,500 calories to lose or gain 1 pound of fat. You would have to be in a 3,500 calorie deficit each day for three days to lose 3 pounds of fat which i seriously doubt you can do. The scale may show more weight loss but it would only be water weight and not true fat loss(getting skinnier). Also if by some miracle you did so much cardio/exercise and ate nothing and were in a 3,500 calorie deficit for 3 days and lost 3 pounds it would hardly even show...0

The diet creates a calorie deficit and works by only lasting 3 days. The passion against it is misplaced. I do not follow the military diet in particular but I vary my caloric intake to great success. Everyone is different. A diet of consuming nearly the same amount of calories each day would not work for me0

Think how great it would be if it lasted only one day !0

I'm in the military. That is not how we eat and anyone in will tell you it's not a good idea.

P.s. I think there is a lot of misunderstanding around here. A diet that has a single low calorie day or period of low calories, is often mislabeled as very low calorie. That's absurd. You have to look at the average for the week.0

A diet of consuming the same caloric deficit each day works for everyone. A 3 day caloric deficit works for nobody.0 -

That's like intermittent fasting. You eat very very low calorie (or not at all) for a day or two out of the week, and then maintenance the rest of the week. You are just eating at a regular deficit, not extremely low calorie all the time.0 -

when I was on the military diet, we clocked in around 4,000 - 5,000 calories per day....
MMMMMM.....the Beef Stroganoff was fantastic!
Really should have kept the cigs from the C-Rats.0 -
