The Military Diet is amazingly real...!

I am very sceptical when it comes to dieting but this diet has me believing and recommending it to everybody that is looking to get their weight back in track! I should warn you though, this is ONLY if you are concious about healthy eating habits. If you do this for 3 days and then go pig-out at Mc. D's or Burger King the remaining days then do not even waste your time.

It consists on following a strict low calorie diet for 3 days while consuming as much water as you can. If you do that exactly as it is described on the diet, you can loose up to 10 pounds in 3 days. Now, that is THEIR statement. My personal experience: I lost 5 pounds and felt like walking on clouds when my doctor told me about it! It could be pretty hard for who is not use to eat so little or for those who snack every 10 minutes (if not every second...!) at work, home or wherever they are. 

While doing this diet the first time, I felt like I was actually being forced to eat breakfast and lunch since I normally skip or eating little to nothing during this meals. Of course, it was not a full plate of eggs, bacon and pancakes for breakfast or rice, potatoes and steak for lunch but since I had to follow a strict list of specific foods, I actually had to feed myself in order to have successful results. And the shopping list is ridiculously small and inexpensive!!!

This blog is only a reference on a diet I tried and obtain positive results. You can always refer to their own website (here) where you will find the complete explanation on how the diet works and why you should do it, pros and cons, and other useful information. Here is a quick reference on the detailed 3-days meal plan for you guys. Hope you dare to try it and be as happy as I am with it! Peace...
