Military Diet : Day 3- FINAL Results


I finished! 
Breakfast- 5 saltine crackers, 1 apple, 1 slice cheddar cheese 

Lunch- 1 egg, 1 slice of toast 

Dinner- 1 cup of tuna, 1/2 a banana, 1 cup vanilla ice cream 


So here are the results: on day two, I didn't exercise at all, but I stuck exactly to the diet. On day three my husband, dogs, and I went on a 3 mile walk and I only ate 1/2 cup of tuna (1 cup is a lot of dry tuna). BUT we also went to the movies last night so I have in and got a regular sized icee and a junior sized popcorn... Yes with butter and salt. I didn't expect to lose anything, but I did! Between day 2 and 3 I lost another 4 pounds!! My total weight loss for the military diet was 7.2 pounds. I am so excited! I don't plan to restart the diet after 4 days like it says you can, in just going to try to eat healthier than I used to and to keep up my exercising. 

This diet did give me a different appreciation for "plain" food, less sugar in coffee, less mayo in tuna, less salt and pepper on eggs, and less ketchup and mustard on turkey dogs. So I'd say for a quick weight loss, it's worth it. Good luck to all who try it :)

Military Diet : Day 2 Results

Well, Day 2 is complete.  
Breakfast- 1 slice of toast, 1 egg (however you want), 1/2 a banana. 
Delish
 
 
Lunch- 1 cup cottage cheese, 1 hard boiled egg, 5 saltine crackers
This was hard. very hard. I am not a cottage cheese person, but even though there are substitutions I wanted to do everything by the book.... so I ate it. Horrible idea. I had to force my way through it, but I did.  The egg and the crackers of course were fine.  However I didn't take a picture.. I sort of forgot while trying to overcome the idea of cottage cheese.  
 
Dinner- 2 hotdogs (I had turkey dogs and the website says small amounts of mustard are okay, so i had a very thin line of mustard on eachhotdog), 1 cup broccoli, 1/2 cup carrots, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
This was a good dinner.  Again, very filling.  I steamed the broccoli and carrots, added the thin layer of mustard, and enjoyed! 
 

So here is the outcome.  
On day one, i went on a few walks throughout the day.  On day two, I didn't have to work until night, so I literally sat on the couch ALL day.  No exercise what-so-ever. Big mistake! Keeping straight to the diet, I did not have an exciting loss for day two.  I lost an additional .4 pounds. That's it! Bringing the total weight-loss to 3.2 pounds. 
 
Last stop : Day 3! Doubtful that I'm going to lose6.8 pounds!! But I would be happy to get my total weight loss up to 5 pounds.   Lets go!
