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 carrots
1/2 banana
1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream


Day 3
Breakfast
Black coffee or tea with Stevia
5 regular saltine crackers
2 oz. cheddar cheese
1 apple

Lunch
1 hard boiled egg
1 slice toast
Black coffee or tea with Stevia

Dinner
1 cup tuna
1/2 banana
1 cup regular vanilla ice cream
It won't be too hard to cheat with ice cream on the menu!



I got the link originally from this site. They have a poll for how much people have lost at the bottom and a whole slew of comments ranging from totally awesome to totally awful/unhealthy. It also offers some substitutions, although they don't recommend them. 

I've looked into it a bit more, there is even an official "3 day diet" website. Which, honestly, wasn't that impressive to me. Another site I found, I thought was the most comprehensive and interesting, but not the one I would be sticking to. They outline all of the potential health concerns, break down the caloric intake and Do's and Don'ts. It was really nice to see exactly any potential health concerns, along with the exact intake of calories once it's been broken down.

I like the original diet page I found for it best still. The foods are easier and it seems more convenient, which is one of the big selling points for me on this diet. It's the one I'll be following for the next three days. Exactly. To the LETTER. I will not cheat. I will not cheat...

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 f

Adventures in Cooking- French Onion Soup

So my other most recent cooking adventure was to make French Onion Soup! I love this delicious, savory, hearty soup and I was excited to try it at home.  I also thought it would be a good one to work on since it's pretty much idiot proof. You cook the onions down to a beautiful golden brown, add it to broth, throw some herbs around, add bread and cheese and bake. It hardly needs a recipe, though I referenced a few to find out which herbs to put in it, which I still modified. Basically, I was totally in charge of this one. What could go wrong?? First, I started with the onions. Yum! I love onions in all forms. I used the magic mandoline to get them all thin and wonderful. Then because I was lazy and don't really like the giant chunks of onions I get at restaurants, I used scissors (now deemed kitchen scissors) to chop them all up fairly small.  I added them to my pan and drizzled olive oil on them. I decided to stay away from butter since it isn't as good
