Thinking of the military diet, does it sounds like a strict regime. People who know it, claim you can get healthy, but most of all, you are going to lose weight. This diet is also called the 3-day diet, and you can lose 10 pounds a week. 

Those who advocate the military diet say that it has been designed by a team of nutritionists in the US military so that soldiers shape up very quickly.

It is also believed and speculated that the diet was ‘created’ by a specialist in marketing and not a nutritional expert at all. He supposedly developed the website about this diet and now generates a huge income from the paid advertisements.

The strange thing is, you can eat foods such as vanilla ice cream and even a hot dog or two. Beginning to sound like your type of diet?

Of course – but like lots of attractive things that reel us in – there’s a catch!

What is it all about then?

Some say aging is a disease and some like Nicholas Gillitt, a manager at the Dole Nutrition Institute in California says that aging is a normal process that none of us can prevent, but which we can slow down – it’s where diet comes in. Research completed on fruits and vegetables regarding longevity, has provided clues as to how to live longer, more healthily.
