Why Does This Diet Work?
The Military Diet works because of its low calorie content combined with foods that are naturally low in fat and high in protein. This helps burn fat while preserving muscle mass.
The calorie reduction strategy forces the body to use stored fat for energy. However, while rapid weight loss is possible, it may not be sustainable in the long term.
Precautions to Take
• Short-Term Use Only: Do not follow this diet for extended periods.
• Potential Deficiencies: Severe calorie restriction can lead to nutritional deficiencies.
• Consult a Professional: Speak to a healthcare provider before starting, especially if you have existing health conditions.
