I’m sure you guys have all seen it on Pinterest – the 3-Day Military Diet – lose up to 10lbs in 3-days! Well, I tried it.
Starting Weight: 162
Day 1: 955 Calories
Day 1 really wasn’t bad. I don’t like coffee, but I had coffee with breakfast with a sweet & low pack. Also added sweet & low to my tea at lunch, and mustard to my tuna. I had canned chicken for my meat, and ate the banana with the ice cream. The apple turned into a snack after dinner. You’re supposed to work out on this plan, so I went to Yoga for 75 minutes.
Day 2: 1205 Calories
Again, not too terrible. I love hard boiled eggs and hot dogs, so I had nothing to complain about. I did load the hot dogs with ketchup, though. Also spent 20 minutes on the elliptical and did arms (note: I love this arms plan. It’s short, but you absolutely feel it!)
Day 3: ? Calories
OKAY – I give. I had a HUGE headache all day. This is the lowest amount of food in the entire diet, and it definitely wore on me. I did breakfast and lunch, but went to happy hour with a friend for dinner.
Final Weight: 159.5
I probably won’t be doing this diet again (although it’s SO easy), but I am incredibly pleased it got me past the 160 mark. I’m using MyFitnessPal to track my food, which ALWAYS helps! I also like Fitocracy - it gives me a challenge to get more points then the last day!
