Have anyone tried the military diet?

Question

Recently I've hit a plateau, I workout five days a week , eat relatively healthy but I just can't get off 185 lbs . I'm 5'7" and I'd really like to be 145lbs. I've heard that this diet can let you lose 10lbs in 3 days. Have anyone tried it?

Answer

Have you tried mixing up your workout routine? Your muscles may have gotten used to what you are currently doing and that can decrease overall calorie burn. Another thing I have found helpful at a plateau is to be more mindful of tracking my food- over time, you may be adding extra calories without ever really noticing. Our bodies are really good at trying to maintain the status quo, so hitting a plateau is totally normal.

Answer

Very bad idea. Don't destroy your metabolism for quick weight loss.

Answer

Don't do it. Yes you will drop a bunch of weight, but as soon as you go back to your regular diet you will gain it all back again. The military diet isn't meant to be a long term diet. It's just supposed to help you drop some weight really quick if you need to (e.g.) fit in a specific dress for a wedding.

If you're exercising and dieting, it could be that you are still loosing in size, just not in weight, because you are building muscles as well. I recommend measuring yourself for a while instead of weighing. And keep making healthy choices. :)

Answer

No, but I would love to know more about it! I'm also struggling to lose weight. I'm 5'3 and weight 170.

Answer

Losing that much weight so quickly is unsafe. Better to control portion sizes and exercise.
