    As some one in the military, here's the actual military diet:
    Meal 1: caffeine and nicotine
    Meal 2: some sort of protein shake or bar + caffeine and nicotine source
    Meal 3: water and snacks
    Meal 4: whatever is in arms reach or a meal at the chow hall if there's time
    Meal 5: ( if in the field) caffeine and nicotine. If not in field, alcohol.

    From a former Marine of 16 years, this is the female Marine diet. I was in the Marines from 10/2004-3/2020. Our diet was heavily restricted and we honestly lost fat and gained a shit ton of muscle for obvious reasons. We were also NEVER sedentary. We were constantly moving. Our BMI was supposed to be propionate with our height. Food portions for women were heavily controlled. Some women that were already “overweight,” had to go on dietary trays. So you can only imagine what they looked and tasted like. We had to weigh in every night after showers. IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. If you were overweight you were called everything from pig to fatty. Weigh ins happened after we had our 3 meals of the day, rigorous schedule and after our food has digested. Also, this diet was for boot camp only. Once you’re in the fleet, every food is fair game. But at a consequence, because the Marines have VERY strict height and weight requirements. If you end up being overweight male or female, there was a harsh consequence. Of course other than women that were pregnant. In the early days of boot camp girls would sneak peanut butter packets from the chow hall. We didn’t have ice cream btw, we had low fat chocolate pudding lol. And we were called fat if we decided to eat the pudding. So yea WELCOME TO PARRIS ISLAND, SC “HOME OF THE SAND FLEAS.”

      @@noonecares2462 I agree that in life it is better to be generous and kind, but in the military, there is not much room for this kind of relaxed compassion. I was in the infantry, and a dude on my deployment was a large guy, built light a tight-end in football, but he had a bit of a belly. He was strong, but those afghan mountains in the summer time are brutal, and on our second R&S patrol he fell out and had to take a knee. Guess who had to carry his heavy ass and all of his gear. Me and the rest of the squad. That could have got us shot up, and if it wasn’t for the fact that it was too hot for the Taliban, we very well would have been. The heavier you are, the more of a liability you are. Nobody wants to call someone’s mom and tell them their boy got shot carrying a fat body to shade. Kindness is a virtue that kills in places like that.

The portion of the video where you looked for ways to overcome your cravings really gave me pause about how fucking insane we get when we're starving. I used to love going to the candle store and smelling all the food scented candles. I used to open the fridge and open every container that was in there and smell each one of them to try to somehow satisfy my starving brain.

    The military diet brought me from 210 lbs at 14 down to 130 (not healthy for me). Its best as a training tool to make you think about how much you need different. Granted, i stuck to the diet for months not the recommended 3 days. Once you do it a healthy amount of food seems like a feast. It works so well in fact I’ve struggled to eat and bulk in the ~10 years since, and haven’t had high body fat since. After this the only think that you have to worry about is excessive calories from beverages and alcohol. Sounds like a bad thing but id rather diet to eat more than diet to eat less in the years since. PS its way easier if the whole time you think “ there are people on this planet who don’t get to eat today, im lucky to be able to have this” and that’s another huge point , which is gratitude and humbled for what you have. Remember your lucky for struggling to loose weight.

      I think the mantra of "some people don't even get to eat today" is a good one. Too many people trying to lose weight will eat "healthy," but REFUSE to reduce portions. Sometimes they even increase portions because "healthier" foods are often less filling.
      I knew a guy who always proclaimed he was trying to lose weight. He'd pay attention to every ingredient on the label and would refuse to eat the vast majority of things... Yet I would watch him have 6 boiled eggs as a SIDE dish for one meal. He'd have multiple plates full of mostly chicken and salmon, have 6 boiled eggs, maybe a snack, and then scarf down a pint of "healthy" ice cream. He'd brag the whole time too about how "healthy" he was... When anyone with a lick of sense could tell he was eating more than a day's worth of food in one sitting.

  • @ValhallaAMV
    @ValhallaAMV 2 роки тому +361

    Never heard of this "military diet" so I was really surprised to hear that it was really low calorie, because most military training loads you up on calories because of the sheer amount of energy you burn in training. The closest thing I can think of to this is Ranger School, but they give you so little food and so little sleep to put as much mental strain on you as possible, because it is a leadership course, and they are trying to teach you how to lead under all kinds of stress compounded together.

    • @amartellacci3765

      The military diet does not actually have military origins, though the legend goes it was to get soft new recruits to shave off a few pounds in a hurry. It is based off a short paper written by William Banting in 1869 called, Letter on Corpulence. It is basically a precursor to modern low carb diets. It is available in several places online. The "military" aspect to it is more about the discipline it takes to follow.

    Normally Will's videos are through-and-through funny to me but honestly, watching this one upset me a little because it resonated so much. When you spend your life as a yo-yo dieter desperate to lose weight, this stupid military diet comes up all the time and everyone's tried it. And seeing how Will struggled on 1200 calories, when 1200 calories is this random catch-all number that MyFitnessPal and other sites assign to most women in order to lose weight... it makes you hungry, it makes you miserable, and the loss doesn't last. Thanks for doing this video Will, I think that a lot of people will hopefully see and appreciate the mental impact it had on you and how genuine you were in expressing those feelings.

    • @gunsandcommissions
      @gunsandcommissions 2 роки тому +50

      Will was miserable because his daily calorie requirements are probably closer to 3000-3300 and he was severely restricting them. That's why his dietician said he's going to gain everything back. Because it's untenable. Also, he was eating a lot of carbs and sugar and really nothing that was satiating. I guarantee the choice to eat steak for dinner (instead of pork or chicken) was because he needed the fat badly and didn't wanto to feel like he was starving.
      Typically, people who struggle with "yo-yo" diets are pushing it too far in the name of calorie restrictions and they can't keep it up. And they're choosing the wrong foods. Carbs and sugars (even from fruits and "healthy" breads and especially "diet" shakes and smoothies) trigger a strong insulin response and cause cravings.
      Eat a lot of fats and proteins and stop trying to get skinny overnight and eat less than you burn and you will lose weight every single time. Use myfitnesspal or chronometer to track your calories (all of them, be honest with yourself) and learn what portion sizes look like.

      1200 is not a catch all number. You put in your age weight gender height and a whole host of factors. Then you put in your goals. It then calculates how many calories you would need to eat each day to lose x fat by x date. If your goals are to lose 25 pounds in a month then of MyFitnessPal will assign you really low calories.

    As a vet I can tell you we have dietitians who provide meal plans etc for the messes and it looks nothing like this. Even our hard ration packs have a ton of calories (1500 per meal pack X 3 meals per day) and are well balanced because we are in the field when we are eating them and need a lot of calories.

      Are you referring to MREs? They are not "well balanced" at all...take a look at the macro profile on the majority of them and they are garbage. They are designed to keep you full and satiated for long periods of time in the field, which is why the protein content is so low - so the body doesn't waste metabolic energy digesting it. I think only a few of the MREs I can remember have "decent" macros - Shredded Beef, White Chunk Tuna, maybe the beef stew.

      @@commonkingslifts I'm Canadian and we had IMPs, which had a decent amount of protein from what I remember since most of them were things such as Salisbury steak, Hungarian goulash, Irish stew, ham steak etc. But I was only referring to the number of calories per pack for hard packs. We only used those for about a week max in the field. Any longer than three days (if memory serves) and we were given at least one fresh meal form hay boxes or field kitchens.

      Yes but it’s not good to get used to it and once the weight is off it can make it incredibly hard to start eating normally again and it’s a big reason why people either gain the weight back or get eating disorders. Thats why people recommend to go slow and steady.

      Holy crap.
      My max was 6 days of fasting and I felt constantly nauseated and my gut was piercing in pain every minute from day 5. Dry mouth, bad taste in mouth, and even water makes you feel sick. I looked for thick water to get rid of my dry mouth and I thought I was going to pass out while shopping for it. Gatorade and salt water does shit. The smell of sweet beverages made me vomit bile in my mouth.
      Bottom line, I got what I looked for out of it. I felt true hunger and realized how much of a blessing it was to have a comfortable gut. I understand how to stop when I’m “full” now.
      You might get used to it and eating can even become an inconvenience when you start eating again, but stay safe Christopher. I hope you find what you are looking for on your journey.
      Ps: I lost 2 lbs per day but I gained it all back before plateauing and losing the weight again. Even if you barely eat (in my case, because of nausea) your body thinks you’re in a famine and doesn’t let you poop. I pooped after day 15 and it was all slurry.
      I understand why people do not recommend it, but if it help you on the long run, go for it. But please be safe!

    I was in the Army for 12 years. I first heard about this diet from a Soldier who consistently failed on height and weight standards (typically measured every 6 months or whenever the fitness test, APFT in my day, is given). It was always for the Soldiers who did not do the work to stay in shape and waited until last minute to try to make shape. Don't get me wrong the height and weight standards in the army and the way they measure them are trash but this is when I saw the diet.
