Military 3 Day Diet- RESULTS


Good MORNING!

So the results are in! But before I get to them, I want to summarize the whole experience.

Overall, this is a really satisfying, easy diet. It is convenient and quick. It fills you up with a variety of foods, all with different nutritional pluses and there is plenty of sweet, meat, and crunchiness for everyone's needs! 

It is only 3 days long, so the commitment isn't hard, even for the commitment-phobes out there. Plus, it has ICE CREAM!! How can you go wrong? Even the bad stuff isn't that bad, or only for a meal or two.

The next time or two I do it (because I will do it again), then I'll be tweaking it just a little. Chicken here instead of tuna, or replacing a meal with one from the day before. I will see how  well it works and post my results as well. 

After you finish the 3 day part, you have 4 other days until you can do it again. Which honestly makes a ton of sense. Even though you may not be feeling hungry, your body isn't meant to function on so few calories. I made sure to only do one of my two activities every day. I didn't want to pass out on a walk somewhere or in the pool! It is definitely recommended that you don't exercise too much, both from my own experience and just in general.

My plan is to continue eating healthy, maybe integrating similarly small meals on my off days, so I can have one or two larger meals with my boyfriend or friends or coworkers. My 4 days off are Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Which is really awesome, but will also take a lot of self control. Summer is here and I can't over do it. I'm also going to try to do two activities a day. Swimming & walking, walking & stairs, swimming & gym, etc. I think it will be really good. And my boyfriend and family have been so supportive. It helps a lot and I think it helped me lose as much as I did! 

So finally, I will reveal how much I lost...

SEVEN POUNDS! 7lbs! 7! That is quite a few, over 2 a day! :) It's awesome. On this blog, they have a poll at the bottom (which you can look at without voting) to see the results. At this time, ~35% of people lose 5-7 pounds, about ~13% didn't lose anything, and around 25ish% each for 1-5 and 8+ pounds lost. 





Considering this is a diet with ice cream, I feel like it was really effective. I hope that if you do it, that you have an equally positive experience overall. It's still a diet, so it will suck in some ways, but I think learning to eat less, portion control and finding low calorie meal substitutes is really useful. 

I am posting this diet and my experience for informational purposes only! I am not responsible for anything you choose to do! Please check with your doctor before starting this diet.

  1. The 3 days diet works. Drink plenty of water, tea, and make yourself some fruit water. Exercise daily that will speed up the weight loss. Good luck and stay on the plan..

3 Day/Military Diet

I realize that this is a "fad diet". But I'm going to try it. It's only for 3 days for one thing. If it doesn't work, ok. If it does, then I can use it as a tool to kickstart my weight loss and/or metabolism and then continue eating my healthier eating habits to continue losing weight.  UPDATE: Here is the link to my RESULTS :)  The diet is as follows (with no exceptions or substitutions supposedly, although there are multiple versions of the 3 day diet):  Day 1 Breakfast Black coffee or tea with Stevia 1/2 grapefruit or juice 1 slice toast with 1 tablespoon peanut butter Lunch 1/2 cup of tuna 1 slice toast Black coffee or tea with Stevia Dinner 3 ounces of lean meat or chicken (any kind) 1 cup green beans 1/2 banana 1 apple 1 cup regular vanilla ice cream Day 2 Breakfast 1 egg 1 slice of toast 1/2 banana Lunch 1 cup cottage cheese or 2 oz cheddar cheese 1 hard boiled egg 5 regular saltine/soda crackers Dinner 2 beef/turkey hot dogs 1 cup broccoli 1/2 cup c

3 Day Diet-Day TWO

WOOO! Day TWO is over! It went just as well as day one, though I had some serious concerns for the later part of the day. Breakfast- piece of cake! I LOVE fried eggs, and this egg meal was no restrictions on how you cooked it! I used a little non-stick spray, salt, pepper and a breakfast from heaven was created :) 1 egg 1 slice of toast 1/2 banana It was really yummy and easy! I loved it. And of course it was filling. Eggs are like the super food of the WORLD. I am always so satisfied after I eat one. Especially on toast, with a banana. For lunch, I was seriously apprehensive. I DO NOT eat hard boiled eggs. They really gross me out. Too many summer barbecues with them left out for hours. I get really weird about perishables left out for too long and eating them. I can't do it.  BUT, I said I was going to stick to this whole diet. So, I will. Even if it kills me. 1 cup cottage cheese or 2 oz cheddar cheese 1 hard boiled egg 5 regular saltine/soda cra
