The 3 Day Diet

Am I the last girl on earth to hear about the 3 day/military diet? Perhaps. In case if you haven't, it's a 3 day meal plan that supposedly can help you lose 5-10lbs in the first 3 days. Most of the time, claims like that, when true, are simply water weight. While thats perfectly fine, I checked out the meal plan and it actually looked pretty legit! Basically, it's a healthy meal plan (minus the ice cream, but I'm also a firm believer in moderation with 80% healthy & 20% treat.)

The diet is low in calories (around 1000-1200 per day), and I haven't tried it yet. When I do I'll definitely be adding in my shakeology to make sure I get my daily nutrient requirements.

Day 1
Breakfast: 1/2 Grapefruit, 1 slice of toast, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, and coffee or tea
Lunch: 1/2 cup of tuna, 1 slice of toast, and 1 cup of tea
Dinner: 3 oz of any meat or protein, 1 cup of green beans, 1/2 banana, 1 small apple, and 1 cup of vanilla ice cream
Tips:

• Warm the apple and/or banana and eat them over the ice-cream (YUM!)
• Cook the green beans with the meat and simmer them in the broth

Day 2
Breakfast: 1 egg, 1 slice of toast, and 1/2 banana
Lunch: 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 hard boiled egg, and 5 saltine crackers (lol)
Dinner: 2 hot dogs (no buns), 1 cup of broccoli, 1/2 cup of carrots, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream

Day 3
Breakfast: 5 saltine crackers, 1 slice of cheddar cheese, and 1 small apple
Lunch: 1 hard boiled egg, and 1 slice of toast
Dinner: 1 cup of tuna, 1/2 a banana, and 1 cup of vanilla ice cream

This meal plan is meant to be temporary, NOT a permanent diet since the calories are low! Try doing this on a Tuesday-Thursday to give yourself a boost for the weekend, similar to the 5 day Inferno Plan from TurboFire. You could do 3 days of this eating, then 4 days of regular eating. But don't overdue it on your "off" days, keep your foods clean & exercise!

What do you think? Have you tried the military diet before?
