So this week I decided to try out the suggested substitutions for just about as many of the foods on the diet plan as I could. Firstly, so I don't have to endure plain tuna and cottage cheese! Secondly, to see if it's the combination of foods or just the low calories which are aiding weight loss. And finally, just to mix it up because even though it's only my second week, I get bored very quickly. That's probably the main reason I never follow diets through, at least with this plan I can switch out different foods every week, but still have a semi-strict list of 'allowed' food.
With all my substitutions I have calculated the amounts I can eat by matching each foods calories to suggested calorie count. I have kept some foods only because, I didn't like any of their substitutes and I've separated the fruit and ice cream substitutes usually included into dinner as snacks, just in case I get hungry in between meals.

Weigh in, 7th February.
I'm weighing in a day early this week. Only because I'm going to a gig tonight, then going to mum's on Sunday and my weight won't be accurate if I use different scales.
After three days I lost: 3 lbs
This week in total I lost: 3lbs
Had a few hiccups this week, i couldn't resist the temptation of popcorn :) but hey, at least I didn't gain.
Until next time.

Thanks for the post! I also did the 3 day military diet last week to prepare for my best friend’s wedding in 2 weeks! So, this is definitely an emergency and my sister swears by this diet, which she encouraged me to try. I’m glad that I did because I lost around 6 pounds. My target weight loss goal is 10 pounds at the most so I’m going for a second run of the military diet this week. I will be doing a few replacements this week – doing away with hotdogs for some lean chicken meat and canned tuna, I’m substituting with fresh Cod. Wish me luck and hope I do shed some more weight. If you want some more information regarding the diet, this is a great resource page to go to and hope it helps http://3daysmilitarydiet.com/diet-plan/3-day-military-diet-shopping-list.html
