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"

Adventures in Cooking- Ratatouille!

I will be the first to say that eating vegetables is not my favorite thing. And by "not my favorite", I pretty much mean that I hate them. There are a few exceptions, as there is to everything, but I try to avoid the majority and stick to the three I actually enjoy (asparagus, peas, corn).  However, since life is long and I want it to be longer by being healthy and eating nutritious meals, I better learn to like something else. I decided to try something inspired by the movie Ratatouille and use my newly acquired mandoline .  I used a recipe I found online to make this, though I only used it as reference and to make the sauce. I didn't end up making as much as I could have. I didn't want to make too much and have this warm veggie stuff and just throw it away after all that extra work.  First I prepped the veggies! And with all cooking I do now, I rinse them in a vinegar/water bath. I do a decent sized splash of vinegar and at about half a sink full of wa...

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...
