The Military Diet Provides Little to no Nutritional Value and Leads to Rebounds in Weight Gain, Says Diet Doc

Jackson, MS, Sept. 22, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Military Diet purports to be a simple, fast-acting diet to rid the body of a few extra pounds. Also referred to as the Army diet or the Navy diet, the eating regiment is a fad or crash diet that claims fast weight loss of 10 pounds within 2-3 weeks. The routine consists of 3-days per week of caloric restriction via small, high-protein snacks (they can hardly be considered meals), while the remainder of the week allows dieters to eat whatever they like (thus contributing to its appeal). Many people are experiencing fast weight loss on this, but they might be alarmed to hear that it is mostly comprised of water and muscle mass, not fat. Sudden losses in calories tend to result in a reduction in the body’s glycogen stores , while the fat tends to hang on.

This is exacerbated by the fact that the diet provides very little in terms of nutritional value. Most days will include toast, tuna, an egg, a grapefruit, a banana and ice cream. The consumption of meals with such little fiber and general sustenance are most likely to lead to hunger, fatigue, irritability and an inability to maintain some degree of physical activity, which is key to long-term weight maintenance. Furthermore, the claim that these food combinations will increase one’s metabolism is an unsubstantiated one as no medical experts have been able to prove this is the case. If an individual is committed to losing anywhere between 10-100 pounds for improved health and overall appearance, fad diets are a no-no. National telemedicine weight loss center, Diet Doc has long understood the rebounds in weight that tend to come with crash dieting, which is why their medical team has spent decades formulating powerful weight loss medications and nutritionally-balanced diet plans (see: JumpStart Diet ) that are customized for individual success.

Diet Doc’s philosophy is that an effective diet program should incorporate ongoing lifestyle changes that encourage long term health and weight loss/maintenance success. To learn more about Diet Doc’s system, new patients can get started immediately, with materials shipped directly to their home or office. They can also maintain weight loss in the long-term through weekly consultations, customized diet plans, motivational coaches and a powerful prescription program.
