The military diet plan, like other three-day diet programs (such as the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic diet plans), emphasizes calorie restriction as a means of accelerating weight loss.
According to JJ Virgin, a board-certified nutrition consultant, the military diet is generally a low-calorie plan because health-conscious eaters are advised to consume about 1,400 calories on day one
1,200 calories on day two, and about 1,100 calories on day three. (This is the information about calories that you should truly know.)
