The so called Military Diet was designed by top secret nutritionists at the US military to get soldiers into tip-top shape. It is designed to burn calories because you eat less than you burn for three days a week.

How does the military diet work?

Any diet that dictates less than 1,000 calories a day is considered a type of fasting. Moreover, fasting is considered as a healthy way to lose weight because it does not lower your metabolism when done properly. In fact, fasting boosts your metabolism by switching your body’s repair genes into “on” mode.

This Military diet includes menus for all three meals; breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For this diet to work you need to stick to these meals. You can only make minor changes to it, for example eating lentils in place of a meat portion or switching out the fruit. Any other things like fats and condiments shouldn’t be changed. You may add mustard, lemon juice, cooking sprays, spices and natural sweeteners.

In just three days your metabolism will boost drastically, melting that fat and giving you the energy you never had before. Do this diet for 3 days, pause for 4 days and do the diet again for another 3 days.

While on this diet, you should consider exercising as much as possible.

People who are usually less active don’t have to do extreme exercises but something simple like a walk in the park or some easy stretches. For those of you who work out normally, exercises like swimming, jumping rope or running are necessary in order to lose weight. Make sure to speak with a doctor before you begin this diet.

Just about everyone is amazed once they start this diet because of the weight loss and the simple meal preparation.
