(-- removed HTML --) How it works,/h3> (-- removed HTML --) The military diet, also know as the Army Diet, the Navy Diet and the 3 Day Diet, is centered around a two phase plan of three days on and four days off. For three days, dieters much adhere to a very low calorie diet. During the first three days of the meal plan dieters consume between 1.100 and 1,400 calories per day.

This is where things can get confusing. While the diet does mention eating items such as hot dogs and ice cream, upon closer inspection you'll see that it's recommended that you continue eating low calorie meals.

In order to lose the ten pounds per week, one has to adhere to the low calorie plan throughout the entire week. It can be difficult to stick with a diet that allows for so few calories. Dieters have to be careful not to overcompensate for the caloric restrictions after the first three days. (-- removed HTML
