The military diet, also known as the “3-day diet”, is an extreme low-calorie diet. It would allow rapid weight loss, up to precisely 4.5kg in just one week. This regime is articulated in two very distinct phases. The first concerns the first three days of the week, during which the diet should be carried out on the basis of low-calorie meals. Clearly, only certain very specific foods can be eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner during this period. Forget the snack, the snacks are to be forgotten during these first three days. For the next four days, the restrictions ease, but those on the military diet are still encouraged to eat healthy.
