The 3-Day Military Diet is one of the most popular diets for many reasons.
- It’s simple and very easy to follow
- It’s only 3 days of strict dieting
- It’s not a lot of ingredients at all
- If you follow the diet correctly, YOU WILL lose weight!
This is a low calorie diet, 1 less than 1500 calories a day. They say you can lose 10 pounds in 3 days but let’s be realistic, you will lose up to 10 pounds after the 3 days. Always drink a lot of water when dieting, as it helps curb the hunger cravings.
Follow the military diet for 3 days and then take 4 days off and you can repeat the military diet for as many weeks as you want or are able to.Let’s get to it, here’s the diet plan:
