Any one tried the 3 day military diet 10 lbs in 3 days!!!!
Discussion
Not tried it, but just had a look as I've been on a weight loss campaign myself.
It looks like a calorie controlled diet to me, tellingly "if you want to continue losing weight in your 4 days off, stick to our 1500 / day diet"
I'd suspect that you'd put your 10lbs straight back on if you didn't do that.
I lost 10 lbs in a week doing a juice diet and then went straight onto the 5 / 2 eating regime and have kept it off easily and I eat and drink (booze) a LOT when not fasting.

Transient depletion of glycogen stores and associated water can cause quite large temporary swings in weight after short term calorie deprivation. It's probably best to assume that any weight you lose in the first few days of a diet will be put back on more or less immediately you return to a maintenance ration.
Eat less , move more
I'd aim to lose weight over a longer sustained period of time , the quicker you lose it the quicker it goes back on and vice versa
Plus diets (unless specific training ones) don't work, choose a lifestyle you can sustain for years, not a fad diet
I'm surrounded by people (male and female) that always goes on fad diets, yeah sometimes they loose weight quickly, but they always put it back on + more and a few months later they are always bigger and then the move on to the next fad diet.

If you want to lose weight:
- Kill the booze, or at least only in moderation at weekends
- Cut takeaways our or limit to 2 x a month
- Cut down on crap and rubbish food
- Pick an exercise you ENJOY and can fit round your lifestyle for the long term and do it 3 a week
- Set yourself the realistic goal of loosing weight from 3 months onwards, I wouldn't bother weighing every week, my weight can shift by pounds everyday depending on when I weigh
- Don't berate yourself or fetishize food.
- Don't bore every tom dick n f'ing Harry with your weightloss and Weight, no one really gives a f
k, do it For YOURSELF and just get on with it.

Good advice. I'm not on a diet but I do 3 runs per week between 2 and 3.1 miles. I'm losing weight (slowly) but I like a drink. I'm a chocolate freak but I've just limited myself to small squares of dark chocolate now and then rather than 3 Cadbury's bars a day. I only drink water and the odd coffee through the week and have reduced a lot of the sugary stuff I eat.

I could lose more weight and do it faster but I find the 6 week blitz and fad diets are not sustainable. Moderation, exercise and a bit of portion control works wonders for me.
As has been said above (lots of sense on PH as per usual about diet 
), but main thing is slow and stead wins that race so 10lb should really take what 5/6 weeks? You have years to work on your weight don't rush it, set a long term goal, say in a year from now im gonna have lost x inches from my waist (that's a better metric that mass), it gives you time to experiment, find strategies that work for you etc, short time goals just adds unneeded pressure, you need to fail, to learn, allow yourself time to do that. You can always hit your goals sooner, you have to manage your own expectations.

Anything that promises super fast weight loss is bad and no use in the long term.
Anything that requires you to regularly eat horrible food is bad and not something that you will maintain.
Counting calories and points might give a focus to dieting, but it just comes down to "don't eat rubbish and don't eat too much".
I wasn't fat by most people's standards, and was much thinner than most men in their late 30s, but I've lost almost a stone since Xmas.
I've not counted calories, I eat a lot of nutritious food, drink alcohol moderately, drink lots of water and I have made an effort to maintain regular exercise cardio-vascular and strength-based (it had all reduced since having children, but is now back up to my previous standards). All of the news stories about exercise not helping people lose weight are nonsense -if the exercise is sufficiently strenuous and long enough in duration. Admittedly, a typical morbidly obese person might struggle to actually perform the exercise, though.

The raw chicken diet is pretty good. Enables you to fast for a week or two and lose up to two stone.
Very good diet, as is the Pharaohs revenge, The Pharaohs revenge was particularly evil, two whole weeks of being afraid to fart and at least another week to trust a fart not to follow through.
I wouldn't mind all I did was dance with an Egyptian lass at a Disco in the sinai.
