The 3 Day Diet Plan Review, Foods, Effectiveness

The Promise

These days, when even instant cereal isn’t fast enough, we want weight loss now, not later. And who could argue with dropping the weight of a large laptop in just one long weekend? The 3 Day Diet promises exactly that.

If you’ve been struggling to budge the scale and you’re tempted to try it, here are the details you need to know.

The diet, aimed at people wanting to lose a lot of weight, claims you’ll drop up to 10 pounds if you follow it for three days.

The menu consists of three breakfasts, lunches, and “dinners” — if you consider a cup of tuna fish or two hot dogs, plus fruit and vegetable sides, dinner.

A website that markets the diet claims it’s “chemically and enzyme balanced,” though this statement isn’t explained or supported.

One thing is clear: You won’t be eating much. On Day 1, you get just 870 calories. Days 2 and 3 aren’t much different.

What You Can Eat and What You Can’t

For three days, you’ll eat extremely basic meals made with foods you may already have in your kitchen.

For example, breakfast on Day 1 is black coffee or water, half a grapefruit, and a slice of toast with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Lunch is half a cup of tuna, another slice of toast, and another cup of black coffee (or tea or water).

If you’re looking for variety or foodie thrills, you won’t find them here.

Lunch on Day 2, for instance, is nothing but a cup of cottage cheese, one hard boiled egg, and some saltine crackers. Sauces, dressings, and even spices are off the list. If you have a sweet tooth, though, you’ll be happy to find vanilla ice cream on the menu each day.

Level of Effort: Low

The biggest effort you’ll make on the diet may be stopping yourself from reaching for more food.

Limitations: The menu is what it is, with no room for varied palates or eating preferences, though some web sites say you can swap tuna for cottage cheese and vice versa.

Cooking and shopping: This diet is about as low-effort as it gets, short of having meals delivered to your door. Just about the only cooking involved is steaming the vegetables, unless you choose to eat them raw (either is an option).

Packaged foods or meals? No.

In-person meetings? No.

Exercise: It’s frowned on because, as one website puts it, “you will not be feeling very energetic” while you’re on this diet.

Does It Allow for Dietary Restrictions or Preferences?

Vegetarians and vegans: This menu is not for vegetarians or vegans. It’s not low-salt, low-carb, or low-fat, either — just low-calorie.

Gluten-free: This diet includes toast and crackers, which traditionally include gluten in the wheat. You could buy gluten-free versions if you chose to, but going gluten-free is not a feature of this diet.

What Else You Should Know

This diet was most likely not developed by nutrition experts. One web site that offers the diet includes this warning: “Neither the staff nor management of 3 Day Diets are experienced, licensed, or knowledgeable to judge or recommend the validity or safety of this diet. We do not necessarily endorse this diet and recommend that before trying this or any other diet to consult a physician or licensed medical practitioner. Use at your own risk.”

When judging any diet, including this one, keep in mind two key pieces of advice from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: First, if a diet sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Second, if you can’t see yourself following the diet for the rest of your life, it’s not for you.

Costs: None beyond your shopping.

Support: None. This is a diet you do on your own.

What Dr. Melinda Ratini Says:

Does It Work?

You will likely lose weight on any diet if you eat less than 910 calories a day. But losing 10 pounds in 3 days is both unlikely and unhealthy. To lose just 1 pound of body fat, you need to reduce your daily calories by about 500 a day for a whole week. That’s giving up 3,500 calories over the course of 7 days. To lose 10 pounds in 3 days would mean decreasing your calorie intake by 35,000 calories in just 3 days! The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends a slow and steady weight loss of no more than 1/2 to 1 pound a week. Otherwise you are losing muscle and water, as well as weakening your bones. You also are much more likely to gain it all back.

Is It Good for Certain Conditions?

The 3 Day Diet is low calorie, but it certainly is not low-fat, low-salt, or low cholesterol, so it is not a healthy option for most people with certain medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and high cholesterol. If you are overweight, weight loss is key to managing these conditions. But it should be a healthy and sustainable weight loss that includes healthy nutrition and exercise.

The Final Word

The 3 Day Diet is a very low-calorie diet that uses simple foods that are low cost and easy to find and prepare. A short-term weight loss is likely. But that is where the good news ends.

During the 3 days of the diet, balanced nutrition is lacking. Some of the foods that are recommended are high in salt and fat and would not be appropriate for people with certain medical problems like heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. You may not be getting enough vitamins, minerals, and fiber while you are on the diet. If you are taking medicine for your diabetes and want to try the 3-day diet, it’s important to talk with your doctor first about how to adjust your medicine.

Physical activity is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and helps prevent and treat heart disease and diabetes. But the 3 Day Diet does not address this at all. Nor does it teach you how to make changes in your diet that will allow for a lifetime of healthy eating.

Finally, such a restrictive diet takes the enjoyment out of eating. During the 3 days a week that you are following the plan, eating out or with others could be very tough. Also, boring diets are very hard to maintain. The temptation to overeat on the other 4 days of the week when you are not dieting will likely be high.

Remember, when it comes to weight loss, slow and steady really does win the race.

Military Diet – Does the 3-Day Plan Work For Weight Loss?

A-TEN-TION!

Listen up here, private! There’s a NEW diet in town and it’s not taking any GUFF from you or anybody else! That’s because it’s set up like a BOOTCAMP, you see. It’s going to be TOUGH! It’s going to be ROUGH! But it’s going to whip you into SHAPE so that you can get moving and start fighting through your days with the vim and vigor needed to FINALLY MAKE A SOLDIER OUT OF YOU.

Or, at least, this is what the Military Diet promises. On this crash eating plan, you very well might drop the weight you want—as much as 10 pounds in a week, according to its totally weird website.

If that promise wasn’t alluring enough, the Military Diet claims that you can do this without exercise and while eating vanilla ice cream (quite a lot of it, in fact). The rest of the diet includes real foods, and you don’t have to buy any pills or potions in terms of supplements.

That promise sounds kind of awesome if you’re the type of person looking to lose weight quickly. And maybe you even like the tough-love approach.

But before you enroll in the Military Diet, there are a few very important (and very strange) things you need to know about this Internet-famous diet.

So what’s up with this mysterious diet? Where does it come from, and is it at all legit? And which military, exactly, deploys this diet to its soldiers?

Here’s what you should know.

What is the Military Diet?

According to its website, the Military Diet requires you eat specific foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner over the course of three days. The meal plan is extremely calorie-restrictive: on the first day, for instance, you can only eat roughly 1,078 calories. (For comparison, the average, moderately active male needs roughly 2,400 to 2,600 calories per day.)

Unlike many popular weight-loss programs, the Military Diet doesn’t prohibit broad food groups. For the first three days, you eat between 1,200 and 1,500 calories a day, spread out over breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The next four days “off,” it’s recommended that you stick to 1,600 calories a day, and you’re encouraged to eat healthfully.

If you do this for a whole month, you can lose up to 30 pounds, according to the website.

So what do you eat on the Military Diet? Here’s a sample plan.

Breakfast

cup of black coffee
half of a grapefruit
a slice of dry toast

Lunch

half a cup of tuna
slice of dry toast
black coffee

Dinner

3 ounces of any type of meat
cup of green beans
half of a banana
small apple
cup of ice cream

What you can’t have: Snacks and booze, to help keep calories low. But artificial sweeteners are also banned, because—and this is according to proponents of the diet—they mess with your insulin levels and cause weight gain. For that reason, the diet tends to push natural sweeteners like Stevia.

The website offers substitutions for people who don’t like, or can’t eat, certain foods. For example, if you hate grapefruit, you’ll get the same weight loss benefits by drinking baking soda in your water. (Uhhhh, yum?)

Why is it called The Military Diet?

Honestly? No one knows.

South_agency

While TheMilitaryDiet.com offers plenty of information, including a section with frequently asked questions, a blog, and alternative meal plans for vegetarians, there are no authors, experts, or webpage owners listed.

And while the name implies a military connection, the page doesn’t actually claim any ties to the armed forces. (MensHealth.com reached out to the website for more information and will update if and when we hear back. )

So, point blank, there’s no actual accreditation or science behind the Military Diet.

The name (wrongly) implies that it has been used to help U. S. soldiers get into shape quickly and that it’s proven in the field. It doesn’t.

We do know, however, that the plan has previously gone by other names, such as the Cleveland Clinic diet, the Mayo Clinic diet, the Kaiser diet, and the Birmingham Hospital diet. According to CNN.com, none of these organizations have actually endorsed the diet.

We also know that The Military Diet is not associated with the armed forces in any way, says Roland Paquette, PA-C, an assistant professor in physician assistant studies at UT Health San Antonio.

A former Green Beret who served in the United States Special Forces from 2004 to 2006, Paquette tells MensHealth.com that the army did not institute a specific diet to get cadets into shape.

“I pretty much ate everything that was available, because you’re so active all the time,” Paquette says. He adds that pancakes, French toast, and biscuits and gravy were common breakfast menu items—none of which are on the Military Diet.

Maj. Carla Gleason, a spokeswoman for the Pentagon, confirmed this. She told MensHealth.com that the United States Department of Defense does not endorse any meal or diet plan outside of what’s listed in its Warfighter Nutrition Plan, a guide that was developed to meet the nutritional needs of service members.

Is The Military Diet safe or healthy?

Yes, severe calorie restriction often leads to weight loss, but what you’re likely losing is water and muscle. Worse still, under-eating (active men are supposed to consume 2,800 calories a day), can lead to brain fog, poor sleep, bad moods, and colossal cravings that may turn to binge eating.

According to Paquette, the Military Diet does have one advantage over other weight loss plans: unlike other diets like keto, which tend to eliminate entire food groups, the Military Diet includes a mix of protein, carbohydrates, and fats, albeit in tiny amounts.

Beyond the artificial-sugar thing (science hasn’t yet found a definitive link between them and insulin, by the way),the Military Diet doesn’t demonize any food or food group. It can sound counterintuitive, but diets with fewer restrictions are in fact easier to stick to.

That said, Paquette says the guidelines for the diet are simply too general to be considered healthy. For instance, breakfast on the first day simply lists “toast,” without specifying whether it’s whole-wheat or white.

“It’s hard to say exactly looking at the foods whether they’re good for you or not,” he says.

Worse still, undereating (active men are supposed to eat about 2,800 calories a day) can result in brain fog, poor sleep, bad moods, and cravings that may turn into binge eating.

Can you really lose 10 pounds in one week?

Sure, this plan could help you lose weight, but probably not 10 pounds— and definitely won’t help you keep it off long-term. Most of it is likely to be water weight, according to our experts.

Cavan Images

Kristen Kizer, a registered dietitian at Houston Methodist Hospital, says that while the Military Diet website claims that the specific foods you eat on the diet can help you “burn fat,” that’s just not the case.

“The Military Diet has ‘fad diet’ written all over it, claiming special food combinations can help you lose weight and allowing for unhealthy fake foods, like hot dogs and one cup of ice cream,” she says.

Most health professionals advise only losing one to two pounds per week, and “even this can be challenging” for some people, says Kizer. Weight loss depends on such a wide range of factors, from genetics to body weight, that it’s impossible to make the claim that one diet will help everyone lose a certain amount of weight in a given time frame.

Even if you do lose a few pounds, it’ll probably water weight that will be regained, Kizer adds. Plus, as is the case with yo-yo dieting and fasting in general, a “feast-or-famine cycle can have negative long-term effects on your metabolism,” she explains, making it easier for you to regain the weight you’ve lost.

Dieters are encouraged to pair the diet with intermittent fasting for better results. If you’re not aware, intermittent fasting calls for eating not eating between 16 hours to an entire day. The Military Diet encourages eating during an 8-hour window while fasting for the remaining 16 hours each day to increase fat burning.

Can you snack on The Military Diet?

Technically, no.

Charday Penn

According to The Military Diet website, extra food and snacks cannot be added to the outlined plan. However, it is possible to save food from each meal to eat at different times.

For example, you could treat yourself to the vanilla ice cream as an afternoon snack instead of eating it at dinner.

As the website claims, “Spacing out your food won’t make any difference to the diet’s results. Just don’t eat food that’s not listed on the diet!”

Can you drink alcohol on The Military Diet?

Nope, and that’s to keep calories low.

What’s the right way to lose weight?

As any successful dieter or medical professional can tell you, slimming down takes time.”Weight loss is a long-term game,” Paquette says.

Dr. Holly Lofton, director of the medical weight management program at NYU Langone Health, recommends people start by keeping a food journal to monitor average daily caloric intake. Then look at where you can make easy changes: for example, by cutting three slices of bread at dinner down to two.

It’s best to start slowly by removing empty calories from processed foods, snacks, and beverages, she advises. And of course, a healthy diet should include plenty of vegetables, high-fiber fruits and protein.

Simply put: low-calorie diets like the Military Diet may help you shed a pound or two in the short-term, but they’ll never give you long-lasting results.

“We’ve learned almost any fad diet will help you lose weight, but the regain rate is high,” says Kizer. “No one likes to hear it, but small, realistic changes done by the whole family with good social support is still the best way to make lasting change. “

At the end of the day, both Paquette and Kizer agree that the Military Diet probably does more harm than good.

“Do I think it could be detrimental to the millions of Americans who already have an unhealthy relationship with food?,” says Kizer. “Yes.”

The Bottom Line: Just because you’re losing weight doesn’t mean that you’re healthy—especially on this vague, too-low-calorie diet that has no scientific backing. Even if you can eat pretty much anything you want on the Military Diet, this is no way to live, soldier.

3 Day Military Diet | Military Benefits

The military diet or the 3 day military diet is a weight loss diet plan that claims it can help you lose up to 10 pounds in a week. The 3 day military diet, also known as the Army diet or Navy diet, is similar to many of the other 3-day fad diet or crash plans that have been introduced in the past. The 3 day military diet involves a 3-day meal plan followed by 4 days off. The weekly cycle can be repeated until the weight goals are reached.

Is the Military Diet Created or Endorsed by the Military?

Many proponents of the diet have put forth various claims such as it was designed by nutritionists in the U.S. military or it was used to help soldiers to get into shape faster. However, there is no evidence that the military diet has any origins from the U.S. military or is affiliated in any way with the military or governmental institution.

Why is the Military Diet Trending?

Is the Military Diet Bad for You?

Many nutritionist and doctors have expressed concerns with the military diet. Below are many of the concerns that have been expressed:

Many nutritionists recommend not going below a 1,200 calorie intake
It offers very little nutritional variety or quality of calories. For instance, hot dogs and vanilla ice cream are part of the plan
Side effects might include hunger, irritability or difficult concentrating leading to a weakened immune system
Proponents claim the diet will increase your metabolism but there is no scientific proof of this

There are a variety of three-day diets that circulate from person to person and on the Internet. They tend to promise weight loss of 10 lb (4.5 kg) or more in just three days.

The origins of the three-day diet are unclear. Some people believe that they go back to the 1980s when these kinds of diets were faxed from person to person. Three-day diets go by many different names, including the fax diet, Army diet, Navy diet, Cleveland Clinic diet, and many others. Often they are just referred to as three-day diets. Although many versions of this diet claim to have been created by one medical institution or another, no medical institutions have ever been known to come forward to claim responsibility for, or even to recommend, one of these diets. Many institutions that have these diets named after them, such as the British Heart Foundation or the Cleveland Clinic, go out of their way to inform dieters that the diet did not originate where its title claims.

The most common form of three-day diet on the Internet involves eating a large quantity of tuna and various vegetables during the day, with ice cream each evening. This diet seems to be similar to, or the same

KEY TERMS

Dietary supplement— A product, such as a vitamin, mineral, herb, amino acid, or enzyme, that is intended to be consumed in addition to an individual’s diet with the expectation that it will improve health.

Mineral— An inorganic substance found in the earth that is necessary in small quantities for the body to maintain a health. Examples: zinc, copper, iron.

Vitamin— A nutrient that the body needs in small amounts to remain healthy but that the body cannot manufacture for itself and must acquire through diet.

as, the three-day diet sold online by 3daydiets.net. It is unclear, however, if they are the developer of the diet, as they do not claim specifically to be.

There are many versions of three-day diets circulating, all with the promise of bringing dieters significant weight loss in just three days. There are many variations in what dieters may and may not eat during these three days. One diet even calls for dieters to drink only water for the first day. On the second day dieters may eat fruit, and drink only fruit juice, and on the third day dieters may eat only vegetables, and drink only vegetable juice.

The most common three-day diet, and the one that seems to be the most popular, is a three-day diet with a meal plan that instructs dieters what to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The specifics of the plan vary, as do what dieters are allowed to drink while on the plan. Some versions allow anything, others specify just water and diet soda in addition to the coffee and tea called for in the meal plan. Many require that dieters drink at least four glasses of water daily. Some allow diet soda to be substituted for the water. A common version of the three-day diet meal plan is:

Day 1

Breakfast: black tea or coffee, 1/2 a grapefruit, 1 piece of toast with 1 Tablespoon of peanut butter. Some version specify 1/3 of a grapefruit, some call for artificial sweetener to be added to the coffee, some allow grapefruit juice to be substituted for the grapefruit.

Lunch: 1/2 cup tuna, 1 piece dry toast, black coffee or tea. Some versions call for tuna in water, some call for artificial sweetener with the coffee or tea.

Dinner: 3 ounces lean meat, 1 cup green beans, 1 cup carrots, 1 apple, 1 cup vanilla ice cream. Some versions specify a low fat ice cream, other do not. Some versions call for 1 cup of beets instead of carrots.

Day 2

Breakfast: 1 egg, 1 slice dry toast, 1/2 banana, black coffee or tea. Some versions require artificial sweetened in the coffee or tea. It is not generally specified how the dieter should prepare the egg. Some versions call for a whole banana.

Lunch: 1 cup cottage cheese and six crackers. Some versions allow dieters to choose between 1 cup of cottage cheese and 1 cup of tuna. Some require six crackers, some allow eight. Most versions call for Saltine brand crackers.

Dinner: two hot dogs, 1 cup broccoli, 1/2 cup carrots, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream. Some versions specify beef franks. Some call for 1 cup of cabbage instead of 1 cup of broccoli. Some versions require low fat ice cream.

Day 3

Breakfast: one apple, 1 ounce cheddar cheese, five Saltine brand crackers, black tea or coffee. Some versions allow or require artificial sweetener.

Lunch: one hard-boiled egg, one slice dry toast. Some versions allow black coffee or tea (with or without artificial sweetener) with this meal, others do not.

Dinner: 1 cup tuna, 1 cup carrots, 1 cup cauliflower, 1 cup melon, and 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream. Some versions call for 1/2 a cantaloupe instead of 1 cup of melon. Some versions require low fat ice cream.

There are other versions of the above three-day diet, with some specifying even more alternatives for the dieter, including an orange instead of grapefruit, cottage cheese instead of tuna, and various vegetable substitutions. Most versions tell dieters to use lemon, salt and pepper, mustard, vinegar, herbs, soy sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and other seasonings to add flavoring to food during the diet, but nothing containing fat, such as butter. Most versions of the diet are very specific in saying that dieters have to follow the rules exactly to see the promised weight loss.

The three-day diet usually promises that dieters will be able to lose 10 pounds in three days if the diet is followed exactly. Often the diet claims that this will result because the combination of foods called for by the diet causes some kind of increased metabolism that will burn pounds of fat. It is never made clear exactly what kind of reaction this is supposed to be, or how it is supposed to work. Often the diet says the dieter can repeat the diet after a few days of regular eating. Some version of three-day diets allow for as few as two days of normal eating, others require up to four or five. The three-day diets are intended to provide a dieter with extreme weight loss in a very short time and are not intended to change the dieters lifestyle or overall eating habits. Usually the diets go so far as to tell a dieter to eat whatever he or she was eating before the diet once the diet is over. The diets only caution is not to overeat. No exercise recommendations are made with three-day diets. Weight loss is supposed to come from increased metabolism and lowered calorie intake alone.

There are many benefits to weight loss if it achieved at a moderate pace through healthy eating and exercise. Three-day diets, however, are not considered moderately paced and do not include exercise, or a well-balanced diet. Although the diets claim that a dieter can lose 10 pounds in three days, weight loss is likely to come mainly from lost water weight. There may be some psychological benefit to quick weight loss, but this is likely to be undone if the weight is gained back quickly after the diet is over.

Anyone thinking of beginning a new diet should consult a physician or other medical professional. Daily requirements of calories, fat, and nutrients can differ significantly from person to person depending on age, weight, sex, and other factors. Talking to a doctor can help a dieter determine which diet is safe for that dieter’s individual needs, and a doctor can help a dieter choose a diet that fits in well with his or her long-term weight loss goals. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should be especially cautious when thinking of beginning a new diet because when a baby is receiving nutrients from its mother, what the mother eats can have a significant impact on the growth and development of the baby.

There are some risks associated with any diet, but diets that severely limit calories or the variety of foods that dieters may eat tend to be more risky than well-

QUESTIONS TO ASK THE DOCTOR

Is this diet safe for me?
Is this diet the best diet to meet my goals?
Do I have any dietary requirements this diet might not meet?
Would a multivitamin or other dietary supplement be appropriate for me if I were to begin this diet?
Is it safe for me to follow this diet over an extended period of time?
Are there any sign or symptoms that might indicate a problem while on this diet?

balanced, moderately calorie-reduced diets. The most common three-day diet requires dieters to eat only about 1,000 calories a day, with some versions that have been analyzed consisting of at as few as 700 calories per day. This is too few for most people to maintain good health. A diet that contains fewer than 800 calories per day is considered a very low calorie diet. Very low calorie diets carry high risks of side effects, such as gallstones and cardiovascular problems. Very low calorie diets are only intended for the extremely obese who are experiencing significant medical problems due to obesity. These diets are carried out under the close supervision of physicians. They are not intended, or safe for, dieters to follow on their own.

Dieters who follow a three-day diet may find that any weight lost is gained back as soon as the diet is over, and may even find that more weight is gained that was lost. Having a very low caloric intake makes the dieter’s metabolism slow down because the body thinks that it is starving. Then when a normal number of calories are reintroduced into the diet, the body wants to store extra fat in case there is a period of starvation again. This natural defense mechanism of the body against starvation can cause dieters who alternatively eat very few calories and then return to normal eating to gain large amounts of fat over time, even while they are trying to diet. Very low calorie diets pursued over only a few days also promote binge eating at the end of the diet.

Many of the versions of three-day diets, especially those intended for fasting, carry a high risk of vitamin and mineral deficiency. The body needs food from each of the food groups every day for good health. Drinking only fruit juices, or eating any very limited variety of foods, can make it nearly impossible for a dieter to get all of the nutrients required for good health. Any dieter considering this kind of diet should consult a physician about an appropriate multivitamin or supplement to help reduce this risk of deficiency. Multivitamins and dietary supplements carry their own risks, and can not replace a healthy, well-balanced diet.

Three-day diets are not generally accepted as healthy, effective ways to lose weight for the long term. Although no scientific studies have been carried out to determine the effectiveness of common three-day diets, experts suggest that anything that promises dieters 10 lb (4. 5 kg) of weight loss in three days is unlikely to be taking off fat. Instead, dieters are probably losing water weight, with possibly a little fat loss and some muscle mass loss through the reduced caloric intake.

The United States Department of Agriculture makes recommendations for a healthy diet in its MyPyr-amid food guidelines. MyPyramid gives recommendations about how many servings of each food group are required daily for good health. These recommendations can be found at <http://www.MyPyramid.gov.> Any diet that will produce sustainable, healthy weight loss should follow these guidelines and include foods from each food group every day. Sustainable diets should not be extremely restrictive of any food group, or be extremely calorie-reduced.

Many studies have shown that exercise and diet are more effective at producing weight loss when done together than either is done alone. Three-day diets do not usually have any exercise recommendations. Instead, they generally claim that a combination of foods will magically melt away fat without the dieter having to expend any effort. Healthy weight loss plans should include both a diet and an exercise component. As of 2007, the Centers for Disease Control recommended that adults get a minimum of 30 minutes of light to moderate exercise each day for good health.

The 3 Day Diet – Finders Keepers

There is no easy way or quick fix when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off. Believe me, I’ve probably tried everything. I was never thin and struggled with weight my whole life. There were some skinny-ish years and pleasantly plump years, but I was always trying new ways to lose weight.

From all my years of trying to lose weight, there was only one diet that actually worked to shed a few pounds fast. The 3 Day Diet – aka The Military Diet.

I Swear It Works

I am not trying to promote crash diets, however in an emergency situation, The Three Day Diet is the way to go. Seriously, best shit ever. Most of the time, I use it to jump start a health kick.

The fast weight loss keeps me motivated to continue eating healthy.

You can lose between 5-10 pounds in three days. I usually lose around 6 (and I cheat). So, if you have fit into a dress for a wedding, this is a lifesaver. This diet can also be followed week by week, 3 days on – four days off, with amazing results.

Apparently you can lose up to 30 pounds in 30 days. I never tried but I have no doubt that it can happen if you follow it perfectly.

How does it work?

From what I’ve read, the chemical make up of the foods in the meal plan help burn fat and kick start your metabolism. I tried following it on point, but as you will see in my pictures, I supplemented some item with things I just had in the house (or a martini).

If there is something on the menu you can’t eat or don’t like, check out themilitarydiet.com. This site will give you substitutions for all the foods and explain to you more in depth how it works.

*Please keep in mind that I am not a doctor or nutritionist. I am just going from my experience. Always consult your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.

Day One

Breakfast

1/2 Grapefruit
1 Slice of Toast (I used 2 because it was low carb 45 calories a slice)
2 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter
1 cup Coffee or Tea with caffeine (I add some Truvia and skim milk)

Lunch

1/2 Cup of Tuna
1 Slice of Toast
1 cup Coffee or Tea with caffeine

Dinner

3 ounces of any type of meat
1 cup of green beans
1/2 banana
1 small apple
1 cup of vanilla ice cream (I only had WW bars in the freezer)

Day 2

Breakfast

1 egg
1 slice of toast
1/2 banana

Lunch

1 cup of cottage cheese
1 hard boiled egg
5 saltine crackers ( used 3 Wasa crackers instead)

Dinner

2 hot dogs without a bun (chicken sausages with same protein and fat)
1 cup of broccoli
1/2 cup of carrots
1/2 banana
1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream – out with friends,had an expresso martini instead 😉

Day 3

Breakfast

5 saltine crackers
1 slice of cheddar cheese ( I had 2 slices of low fat swiss)
1 small apple

Lunch

1 hard boiled egg or cooked however you like
1 slice of toast

Dinner

1 cup of tuna (sometimes I buy tuna steak and sear it, way better)
1/2 banana
1 cup of vanilla ice cream

Years ago, I remember my mom doing this diet and I would laugh at her when she had to eat bun-less hotdogs for dinner but I totally get now. It really does work.

It looks like it’s a decent amount of food, but I am always hungry and ready to give up by day 3. Stick it out, drink lots of water and don’t weigh yourself until day the morning of day 4.

Are you looking for a weight loss meal plan to help you shed a few unwanted pounds, get back on track after overeating, or reduce bloating to look your best? This 3 day diet meal plan is your solution to quickly lose weight and feel great.

This 3 day meal plan is featured in Woman’s World magazine December, 2020.

What is the 3 Day Weight Loss Plan?

While the road to lasting weight loss requires consistent effort, there are times you need a kick start to help you shed a few pounds. This 3 day weight loss plan is just for you.

This meal plan is featured in Woman’s World magazine.

As someone who has been maintaining a 100 pound weight loss for over a decade, I understand the importance of help to lose weight or get back on track with healthy eating.

While I don’t recommend quick fixes or anything too drastic, this plan is safe and realistic.

The food on this plan is absolutely delicious and because it’s packed with protein, you won’t go hungry.

I lost weight using the Weight Watchers system and designed this plan using all zero point foods on the WW Blue plan. (Find the original plan here: WW 3 Day Zero Point Meal Plan). Because it’s been so popular, I’ve adapted it to a simple program anyone can use.

What Happens When Women Use a 3 Day Diet Program?

A few months ago, I was contacted by a national magazine requesting more information about the 3 day diet meal plan. They wondered how much weight women had lost using the plan.

While I had the meal plan on my website for several years, I hadn’t taken a group through the plan together. We decided to invite a select group of women to participate in this plan together as a group.

We were expecting a few women to be interested and were shocked when over 130 women volunteered.

Their results were incredible and we know you will have success with this program, too.

How Much Weight Can I Lose on a 3 Day Diet Plan?

You can expect to lose between 2-10 pounds while following this meal plan.*

When women in our challenge shared their results, we were nothing short of astounded. Almost all the women lost weight and many lost 3-5 pounds. A few women lost up to 10 pounds!

Even more amazing is that most of the women in the challenge were over the age of 50, with quite a few in their 60s, 70s and a few women in their 80s. This proves that weight loss is possible even as we age, and the 3 day diet plan will make it possible for you.

Use our grocery list (and grocery delivery or pick-up) to make it extra easy.

*Your results may vary. Always consult your doctor or medical professional for advice.

Power-packed lean proteins including salmon, non-fat Greek yogurt, chicken & turkey breast and eggs

Because the plan has no packaged, boxed, or processed foods, it’s lower in sodium than the average American diet. This leads to reduced bloating so you’ll look and feel slimmer right away.

Take your preparation one step further and meal prep before you begin.
People have great results on this plan.
Any fruit may be substituted for the fruits listed. Use what you enjoy. If you are making a swap, swap only a fruit for another fruit.
Vegetables may be substituted for others you enjoy or have on hand. Only swap a vegetable for a vegetable.
You may use artificial sweetener (with no additional calories or sugar). Keep in mind that artificial sweeteners cause water retention in some individuals.
If you are hungry, you may snack on additional bowls of The Holy Mess Vegetable Soup.
Use a wider cut of cabbage for the vegetable soup for a texture similar to noodles.
You may drink any liquids without calories, such as water, coffee, tea, Crystal Light and diet soda.
You may use any spices and spice blends that do not have additional calories or sugar.
We do not recommend using this plan longer than 3 days because it’s very low in fat and eliminates whole grains.
Check out this Jump Start Your Weight Loss 7 Day Challenge this Weight Watchers 7 Day Basic Meal Plan for another structured plan to use after this one.
For the Banana Soufflé, instead of banana you may substitute 1/3 cup canned pumpkin or 1/3 cup applesauce. You may also eat the banana and eggs separately.

Military diet: All you need to know about the 3-day diet plan for weight loss

There are many diet plans that people follow for weight loss depending on their health and well-being. But it must be noted that what may work for one person may not necessarily work for another in a similar way. Hence, it is always important to check with a qualified nutritionist before you take on any form of diet.

One such popular diet plan that everyone has been talking about is the Military diet, which promises weight loss in just three days.

Here’s what you need to know.

As per the diet, one can lose up to 4.5 kg in a single week. And unlike many other diets, it is known to be economical as it does not require expensive supplements and foods. As the name suggests, the diet plan was reportedly designed by nutritionists to help soldiers reach the right weight and shape as quickly as possible. It is also called the army diet, navy diet, and even the ice cream diet.

Here’s what it consists of

One has to follow a 3-day meal plan, followed by 4 days off. During the three days, one is encouraged to eat healthily but consume fewer calories. This weekly cycle is repeated for several weeks until the ideal goal weight is reached.

The food combinations are such that it helps burn fat and kickstart the metabolism which aids weight loss. On the four off days, a normal diet of 1300-1500 calories per day is recommended consisting of lean protein and vegetables. This is low on carbohydrates.

What can you drink?

While water can be consumed as much as possible, artificial sweeteners are to be avoided. One can also have herbal teas with stevia as a sweetener.

Here’s what a sample meal plan consists:

Day 1

Breakfast – ½ grapefruit, 1 slice toast, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, and a cup of tea/coffee
Lunch – ½ cup tuna, 1 slice toast, and a cup of tea or coffee
Dinner – 2 slices of any type of meat, 1 cup green beans, ½ banana, 1 small apple, and 1 cup vanilla ice cream

Day 2

Breakfast – 1 egg, 1 slice toast, ½ banana
Lunch – 1 cup cottage cheese/ 1 slice cheddar cheese, 1 hard-boiled egg, 5 saltine crackers
Dinner – 2 hot dogs, 1 cup broccoli, ½ cup carrots, ½ banana, and ½ cup vanilla ice cream

Day 3

Breakfast – 5 soda crackers, 1 slice cheddar cheese, 1 small apple
Lunch – 1 hard-boiled egg, 1 slice toast
Dinner – 1 cup tuna, ½ banana, 1 cup vanilla ice cream
Do not consume any snacks in between.

You can have vanilla ice-cream on this diet. (Source: Getty Images/Thinkstock)

Vegetarians and vegans can make easy swaps with nuts, lentils, tofu, and soy/tofu dogs. Vegans can eat nut/tofu cheese instead of cheddar, plus soy ice cream and vegan cottage cheese, as per WebMD.

Do you need to exercise more?

As per slimmingsolutions.com, walking for just 20 minutes can significantly boost one’s weight loss on the diet.

What are the odds?

The diet works on the principle of creating a calorie deficit which helps lose weight faster. There are not many dietary restrictions which makes it easier to follow for a small duration of time.

However, since it is based on calorie deficit, it may create nutritional deficiencies if one follows it for several weeks at a stretch. This may also lead to fatigue. So, check with your nutritionist.

General Programming Rules

Regardless of gender, the first workouts in the gym should be treated very responsibly.Since people who most often do not go in for sports dream of getting rid of fat deposits, their body is not prepared for serious stress. To lose excess weight, beginners must first bring the cardiovascular system back to normal, because if a person conducts a full-fledged training for half an hour in the first lesson, this can lead to problems with joints and heart.

The rule of phased introduction to the sport mode must be taken into account. It is necessary to start a three-time training plan with light exercises, slowly increasing the load.During training, be sure to carefully monitor the heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate.

Principles of working out the initial weight loss program

Strength training is a determining factor for losing weight, but you shouldn’t take big weights right away. By adding weights, a beginner athlete will waste energy without completing the entire program. Better to add multiple sets or increase the amount of exercise.

When performing any strength exercise, you should carefully monitor the technique. It is advisable to observe yourself in the mirror, tracking the position of the arms, legs and body in space. Correct technique is the key to effective training.

One should not rush, because if a beginner has never been involved in sports in his life, then perhaps even the easiest program for the first days will be difficult for him. In this case, it is better to perform part of the exercises with high quality and correctly than through force and compulsion to do the entire program.

Strength training for slimming men

Weight loss programs for different sexes differ significantly, due to the physiological characteristics of the body structure. The male body stores fat slowly than the female body and spends calories much faster. In addition, the representatives of the stronger sex have much more digestive enzymes, respectively, and fat burning is given to men much easier.

The weekly strength training program for men will be structured as follows:

Most of the program is designed for training in the gym, for those who do not have the opportunity to train in the gym: we recommend that you read the article: Jay Cutler: full body workout

Day 1:

Day 2:

Day 3:

Walking or low-intensity cardio can be used as a warm-up.Do not forget about the cool down at the end of your workout.

For those interested in the topic of gaining muscle mass for men: we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the material.

Strength training for slimming women

It is much more difficult for girls to lose weight, because their body is arranged a little differently. A woman’s body is created with an emphasis on storing energy in the form of fatty deposits, since the female body is constantly preparing for gestation.In the composition of fat cells, girls have much more enzymes that are responsible for the accumulation of fatty deposits, and the fat cells themselves are larger in size. In addition, in the female body, steroid hormones inherent in men are not present, therefore, during weight loss due to cardio training, the muscles of girls can be destroyed.

Considering all these features of the female body, the program for burning subcutaneous fat is prescribed according to different principles. Experts recommend to start training in a circular program, performing all exercises in one superset.This will make it possible to achieve effective results without burning hard-earned muscles.

A typical weight loss program for a woman in the gym looks like this:

Day 1:

squats with a barbell at a fast pace;
reverse pull-up on the loops;
deadlift;
press of hands from the lower block in a sitting position on the bench;
two-handed dumbbell reduction;
pull of the upper block down;
leg swings.

Day 2:

Day 3.

The number of repetitions for women is also different – for the first workout, you need to do 15-20 repetitions of each exercise, for the second and third from 8 to 12, depending on general fatigue and initial physical strength. In addition, the structure of the female body suggests the introduction of light cardio (fitness) on the days between strength exercises.

So, with the same goals of weight loss and weight loss for women and men, completely different strength programs are used.These differences are explained by the difference in organisms, so they must be taken into account when building a training plan.

This diet and the combination of foods in it helps burn fat, increase energy, cleanse the body and last but not least lowers cholesterol.

As the name suggests, the three-day diet lasts only three days, although it can be repeated indefinitely, as long as you like, alternating with 4-5 days of regular meals.

healthy food for those involved

More than half of success in fitness depends on nutrition. Many professional athletes speak about this. How to eat right with regular fitness classes, in order to experience real results, read in our material: HOCHU.ua editors have developed a three-day fitness menu.

Sports nutrition is a necessary attribute of any person involved. The nice thing is that this type of nutrition does not make the body feel hungry (but quite the opposite). It is very difficult to call it a diet; rather, fitness nutrition is a way of life.In fact, the menu of a practicing person is the ideal food not only for those who want to always be slim, but also dream of being healthy and vigorous at any age.

Of course, it is quite difficult to adhere to the sports nutrition regimen in the modern rhythm, because due to constant employment, some eat anything just to fill their stomachs, while others do not eat anything all day, coming off afterwards during dinner.

Fitness menu: day one

Breakfast

The perfect breakfast for the recreational athlete is oatmeal. It is rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates, which provide the body with all the nutrients it needs in the morning. To make breakfast not boring, you can add nuts, dried fruits or candied fruits to the oatmeal, a little honey. If you like to eat oatmeal in milk, then use a fat-free product.

Lunch

Fruits. You can choose any favorite fruit or berry and enjoy their sweetness.

Lunch

For lunch, it is best to give preference to buckwheat, a piece of boiled chicken and vegetable salad with vegetable oil.

Many people think that boiled meat is boring and uninteresting. In fact, the whole question is in the method of its preparation. To keep the chicken from appearing bland, it can be boiled in herbs and spices. It is also very important not to overcook the meat: 10 minutes after the water has boiled is enough.

Afternoon snack

For an afternoon snack, low-fat cottage cheese and a cup of aromatic tea are perfect.

Dinner

For dinner, you should cook yourself a piece of fish with stewed vegetables.You can also complement the dish with vegetable salad seasoned with vegetable oil.

If you are tired of the vegetable oil dressing, then you can add a little grape vinegar and mustard to it to add spice.

Second supper

Before going to bed, it will be great to drink a glass of low-fat kefir.

Remember to drink water throughout the day. You can also drink teas, and in the morning have a cup of coffee without sugar.

Fitness menu: day two

Breakfast

On the second day, breakfast will be cottage cheese with honey and fruits.The ingredients can be simply mixed with each other, or you can grind in a blender to get a cheese mass.

Lunch

The second breakfast will be a loaf of bread, on which you can put lettuce leaves, cut a tomato and put cheese on top.

Lunch

Bake turkey fillets in a sleeve with herbs, and garnish with brown rice. You can supplement this pair with cabbage salad with low-fat sour cream dressing. It should be delicious.

What is the military diet?

The Military Diet, also called the 3 Day Diet, is a weight loss diet that can help you lose up to 10 pounds in a week.

The Military Diet Plan includes a 3-day meal plan followed by 4 weekends and repeats the weekly cycle over and over until you reach your desired weight.

Proponents of the diet claim it was developed by nutritionists in the US Army to get soldiers in top shape quickly.

However, the truth is that the diet is not affiliated with any military or government agency.

The military diet also has several other names, including the naval diet, the military diet, and even the ice cream diet.

Summary: The Military Diet is a low calorie weight loss diet that claims to promote significant weight loss in just one week.

How does the military diet work?

How does the military diet work? The 3 Day Military Diet is actually divided into 2 phases over a 7 day period.

For the first 3 days, you must follow an established low-calorie meal plan for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.There are no snacks between meals.

The total calorie intake during this phase is approximately 1100-1400 calories per day.

This is much less than the average adult, but you can check your own calorie needs with this calculator.

For the remaining 4 days of the week, you are encouraged to eat a healthy diet and continue to keep your calorie intake low.

Diet proponents claim that you can repeat the diet several times until you reach your desired weight.

Summary: The first 3 days of the military diet have a fixed meal plan and include calorie restriction. The remaining 4 days have fewer restrictions.

In this article, you can find a list of websites and apps to track your calorie intake.

There are no other rules for the remaining 4 days of the diet.

Summary: The first 3 days of the diet have a fixed menu, and the remaining 4 days are less limited.You are still advised to eat healthy foods and limit your calorie intake for the remaining 4 days.

Additional Products Authorized

What foods are allowed in the military diet? Substitutions are allowed during the 3-day phase for those with dietary restrictions, but servings must contain the same amount of calories.

For example, if you are allergic to peanuts, you can substitute almond butter for peanut butter.

You can also substitute 1 cup of tuna for almonds if you are a vegetarian.

It is only important that the calorie content remains the same. If you change your meal plan in any way, you will need to count calories.

Supporters of the military diet recommend drinking hot water with lemon, but do not recommend drinks with artificial sugar. However, there is no scientific reason why this would be a good idea.

Summary: If you have dietary restrictions, then you are allowed to substitute foods with equal calories.

Is the military diet based on evidence?

Is the military diet based on evidence? There have been no studies of the military diet. However, the average person is more likely to lose a few pounds due to the weekly calorie restriction.

If fewer calories go into adipose tissue than go out, you are losing fat. Period.

However, proponents of the diet argue that it offers a distinct weight loss advantage through “food combinations” nutritional benefits.These combinations are believed to boost metabolism and burn fat, but these claims are not true.

Coffee and green tea do contain compounds that can slightly increase metabolism, but there are no known food combinations that can do this (1, 2, 3, 4).

And if you look at the common foods included in the meal plan, it just doesn’t sound like a fat burning diet.

Foods with a high protein content speed up metabolism to a greater extent than other foods (5, 6).But most of the foods in the military diet are low in protein and high in carbohydrates, which is a poor weight loss combination.

Some people also claim that this diet has the same health benefits as intermittent fasting. However, the diet does not include fasting, so this is not true.

Summary: The military diet can help you lose weight because it is very low in calories. However, it doesn’t have specific benefits that make it more effective than other calorie-restricted diets.

How Safe and Sustainable is the Military Diet?

How Safe is the Military Diet? The military diet is probably safe for the average person because it is too short to cause long-term harm.

However, if you follow this diet for several months, a strict calorie limit can put you at risk of nutritional deficiencies.

This is especially true if you do not regularly eat vegetables and other quality foods on weekends.

In addition, weekly consumption of hot dogs, crackers, and ice cream can cause metabolic problems. Junk food shouldn’t be a regular part of your diet.

In terms of sustainability, this diet is pretty simple. It doesn’t rely on long-term habit changes and only requires willpower for a short time.

That said, it probably won’t help you maintain your weight for long, because it won’t help you change your habits.

Summary: The military diet is probably safe for healthy people, but should not be followed for long periods of time. This probably does not lead to long-term weight loss.

Can you really lose 10 pounds in a week?

This diet became popular because it claims you can lose 10 pounds (4.5 kg) in a week.

Theoretically, this rate of weight loss is possible for overweight people who severely restrict calories.However, most of the weight loss is due to the loss of water, not fat.

Water weight drops rapidly as your body’s glycogen stores shrink, which happens when you restrict carbohydrates and calories (7).

This looks good on the scale, but this weight will be restored when you eat normally again.

Summary: You can lose 10 pounds in a week. However, for the most part, this will be the water weight that is restored when you start eating normally.

Medicines for weight loss, slimming teas are not the best solution for weight loss. If you want to lose weight by going on a healthy and balanced diet, you can buy the diet online at an affordable price (click and start losing weight!)

May work, but not for long

If you are looking to lose a few pounds quickly, the military diet can help.

But you will probably regain weight very quickly, too.It’s just not the best long-term weight loss diet.

If you are serious about losing weight and maintaining it, there are many weight loss methods that are much better than the military diet.
