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.

    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 ONE

I've finished all of day ONE! YAY! I won't be weighing myself each day, at least not the first time. I don't want to get discouraged or over excited. I want to just see what the overall results are, and then to tweak and weigh each day if I do it again. For breakfast, you get the following: Black coffee or tea with Equal or Sweet & Low 1/2 grapefruit or juice 1 slice toast with 1 tablespoon peanut butter And this is what it looked like!  It was actually quite filling and fairly satisfying, though I still don't like grapefruit. And I need a grapefruit spoon. I skipped the coffee/tea to start and went with water, since I'm not crazily addicted to caffeine at this point.  I started to get hungry around lunch time, so I was definitely ready to munch when the time came! 1/2 cup of tuna 1 slice toast Black coffee or tea with Equal or Sweet & Low It definitely doesn't look very appetizing, and it isn't re...

3 Day Diet-Day THREE

Finish line in sight! :) Breakfast was pretty good, although when I looked at it, even after the previous days of eating so little, it looked pretty meager.  It was crackers and cheese and apples. I've seen my grandma eat this a lot lately, she's all alone now and doesn't like to cook for herself, so I totally understand why this would be easy and fairly nutritious! It just doesn't seem like a lot at first... Black coffee or tea with Equal or Sweet & Low 5 regular saltine crackers 2 oz. cheddar cheese 1 apple Let me tell you, this is actually a pretty hearty meal! It's so yummy and cheese and crackers always go together. And of course, so do cheese and apples. I really enjoyed it. Protein, and cheesy and crunch and crack. It is a little odd to eat as a breakfast, though it is filling. For lunch, another one of those hard boiled egg things. It was another great meal! 1 hardboiled egg 1 slice toast Black coffee or tea with Equ...
