Indian version of military diet

For a vegetarian or vegan military diet, replace the tuna, meat, and eggs with your preferred protein source: dals, pulses, sprouts, paneer, nuts or tofu. You can replace fruit or vegetables with any other similar nutrient content fruit or vegetables.

Why the Military diet is so popular?

  • Calorie restriction leads to a calorie deficit in the body. Thus, stored fat is used as fuel and you experience weight loss.
  • Intermittent fasting throughout the day can increase insulin sensitivity and may control blood sugars.
  • High protein, calcium, and fiber in the military diet increase the fat-burning metabolism.
  • No burden of additional nutrient supplements.

How Reliable is the Indian Version of Military Diet?

For an average person, a short term military diet will not do any harm. However, if it is followed for a few weeks, there is a risk of nutrient deficiencies. The case worsens if fruits and vegetables are neglected for a long time. Additionally, eating crackers and ice cream every week has negative effects on metabolic issues.

It doesn’t require long-term habit changes. It is solely dependent on willpower for a short span. As the diet is followed for a short period of time, the results can also be temporary if not followed by a restrictive diet which gives 1200 calories.

Review of literature for Indian Version of Military diet

  • There have been no studies on the military diet. However, the average person might lose a few kilos due to the week-long calorie restriction. Less caloric intake means less fat deposition in the body. Thus, you lose weight.
  • This diet is said to increase your metabolism and burn fat, but there is no written literature for these claims.
  • Coffee and green tea does contain compounds that can slightly increase metabolism, but again lacks on paper evidence.
  • Foods are high in protein boost metabolism more than other foods.
  • The military diet can help lose weight only because it is calorie-restricted. However, it has no special advantage that makes it more effective than other low-calorie diets.

What exactly are you losing?

indian version of Military diet

When a person is overweight or obese, they have a big range between original weight and ideal weight. Thus, the rate of weight loss in such people with calorie restriction is fast. In reality, most of the weight loss is due to loss of water, not fat.

With carbohydrates and calorie restriction, there is less glycogen store and low body muscle mass. With the decline in the body’s glycogen stores, the body water drops quickly.

The scale will show the desired result, but at the cost of muscle and water loss. Such crash weight loss will lead to weight gain once you start with a normal eating pattern.

Hence effective weight loss will require a better strategy to work on the long run and keep you healthy permanently. here is how you can lose weight effectively (10 – 15 kgs ).

Endnote:

The Indian version of the military diet is likely safe for healthy people. If you want temporary and fast weight loss, a military diet may work. Continuous following of the military diet might lead to some nutrient deficiencies. It probably does not lead to lasting weight loss. If you want permanent maintenance of ideal weight, then follow clinically proven methods to reduce weight. Stick to a healthy eating lifestyle and you’ll definitely be able to maintain your weight.
