Hacks For The 3-Day Diet

The famous 3-day low calorie military diet piqued your interest, didn’t it? You heard about its astonishing results and now you’re wondering what all the fuss is. How exactly does it work? Here are some hacks and interesting facts which will be useful on your path to losing weight. Read on and find out how to get the best results, without succumbing to starvation mode!

The military meal plan is very concise and although you can make some food substitutions here and there, you can’t change everything on the diet. You have to count calories during the so-called 3-day restrictive period of this weight-loss diet, but you also get to eat ice-cream.

3-day diet plan

Day 1

Breakfast:

  • 1 slice of toast
  • ½ grapefruit
  • 2 tablespoons of peanut butter
  • Coffee (or tea)

Lunch:

  • 1 slice of toast
  • ½ cup of tuna
  • Coffee or tea (caffeinated)

Dinner:

  • 1 cup of green beans
  • 3 ounces of meat (any type will do)
  • 1 apple
  • ½ banana
  • 1 cup of vanilla ice-cream

The total number of calories on your first day of this weight-loss diet should add up to 1400 calories. If you warm the banana and apple and put them over the ice-cream, you’ll be in for a delicious ride! In addition, you can cook the meat together with the green beans and make a broth. And if by any chance you don’t want to eat ice-cream, you can swap it with Greek yogurt. The protein contained in it will help you stay fuller.

Day 2

Breakfast:

  • 1 slice of toast
  • ½ banana
  • 1 egg

Lunch:

  • 1 slice of cheddar cheese (or 1 cup of cottage cheese)
  • 1 hardboiled egg
  • 6 saltine crackers

Dinner:

  • 2 hot dogs
  • ½ cup of carrots
  • 1 cup of broccoli
  • ½ banana
  • ½ cup of vanilla ice-cream

On the second day of the military menu consume no more than 1200 calories. For the first meal, any type of bread is welcome, but the best option would be whole wheat bread. If it’s not specified, the egg can be cooked in any way you prefer.

Day 3

Breakfast:

  • 1 cup of cottage cheese
  • 1 apple
  • 5 saltine crackers

Lunch:

  • 1 slice of toast
  • 1 hardboiled egg

Dinner

  • 1 cup of tuna
  • ½ of banana
  • 1 cup of vanilla ice-cream

End the 3-day dieting with approximately 1100 calories. Whether you choose fresh or canned tuna is irrelevant. If you don’t have saltine crackers, plain crackers work just fine.

Facts and hacks

This diet relies on chemical decomposition. Swapping or substituting foods (except those listed) is not advisable. Furthermore, don’t use any seasoning, except salt and pepper sometimes. Follow these instructions and you will lose up to 10 pounds in three days. After the period of strict military food, regimen passes, you may return to eating normally. Be careful not to overeat and drink a lot of water. At least 2/3 of your body weight will help you satisfy your hunger. This period lasts four days and afterward, you can begin the cycle again. If you follow this diet closely for a month, you may end up losing up to 40 pounds.

Many people have personally tested the 3-day diet and the rate of success is varying. It really depends on your endurance, motivation, and desire to become slimmer. I highly recommend trying this dieting method and I hope my little hacks will be helpful in your desire to lose weight.
