Israeli Army Diet

Will It Work?

Well I can’t say that I would recommend you do the Israeli Army Diet. This diet isn’t how it sounds, it has nothing to really do with the Israeli Army, but it is a pretty big fad diet.

It lacks nutrition and you are basically asked to starve yourself the whole time you are on the diet. You are only allowed to eat one kind of food for two days at a time and do this for a total of eight days.

This diet can be labeled as a “crash” diet, because as you stop doing the diet, you will regain any weight you have lost while doing the diet. It isn’t a safe diet at all and there is no reason any sane person should try to do this whether they are desperate to lose weight or not.

I have tried and heard of some pretty crazy ways to lose weight, but none of them have ever compared to the Israeli Army Diet. Being allowed only apples, cheese, chicken, and then salad, was just not worth the energy.

You are allowed coffee or tea on the diet, but you aren’t recommended any type of supplements or anything to take while on it. I was not going to attempt this diet, because I knew I would just crash and burn.

There was no reason to make myself starve and feel deprived of food, only to regain the lost weight within a short amount of time. I didn’t and wouldn’t put myself through that kind of torment.

As I researched the Israeli Army Diet, I kept thinking, who really would want to do this to themselves? Are there really people out there that think it is a safe and explainable way to lose weight?

Looking at the diet and really thinking about what it requires you to do, I thought more and more about other fad diets out there and wondered if there were others out there that seemed to tell you to lower your caloric intake and feel the need to starve yourself.

I know there are many desperate men and women out there looking for the answer to weight loss, but did it really have to come to such extremes?

Since I refuse to try such a diet, I know that there is no way I could honestly say it doesn’t work. I mean sure it probably helps you lose weight pretty quick, since you are basically not eating anything for eight days, but then the fact that more then likely you will regain anything and everything you lost, just seems like a really poor choice. Like I said there is no reason I would ever recommend the Israeli Army Diet.

No matter what the promises are that come along with the diet plan. I intend to preserve myself, not make myself weak to the point of getting ill and feeling tired and unfocused all the time.

So this diet is completely and 100% out of the question for me and I will tell anyone I know that it is just is not worth it.
