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...

    Nothing. Eat only what is listed. It's also known as the "military diet"

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 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...
