Eat less food than required to maintain your weight and you'll lose weight.

The "military diet" is a low calorie diet that has no connection at all to the military. It's a fad diet.

Unless you're talking about C-rats, MREs or powdered eggs, I've never heard of it.

If I remember right all the military diet consists of is low carbs with the rest up to you. Its just a lot of manipulating water weight with some weight loss involved. (my father was in the air force and I think thats what I remember from back then) 26 years ago

The military diet will provide fast weight loss. This is good for short term weight loss, however this isn't sustainable for a long period of time. I would recommend taking a flexible dieting approach. Eat .8-1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. To lose weight, track what you are eating for a week on a calorie counting app and then if you are gaining weight, then you should lower calories 100-300 and then if still no weight loss occurs then another 100-200. Calories in v.s. calories out is the basics of weight loss.Eat good, train hard, and read the basic stickies on the forums.

It's not actually from the military. It's like the Mayo diet or GM diet where whoever came up with it named it after something that seems authoritative when it's really just a stupid low cal diet. I added up the calories on it once because somebody asked me about it. I think the total was about 1050 calories per day. I also remember that on one day you were required to eat two bunless hot dogs and on another day a cup of tuna (which stuck out as weird because who measures tuna in cups?)
