Icecream diet program

The diet is free and those who back the idea of the diet claim that it was designed by nutritionists in the US military to help whip soldiers into shape quickly - but this is not backed up.

On the plan , dieters are encouraged to eat low carb, set small portions for each day - with each day of the three day plan including a dinner that incorporates either one cup or half a cup of vanilla ice cream.

However, this plan's source is unknown, it has been posted across an array of websites but has no credited author, an expert, a nutritional guru - a massive red flag. Any diet that involved burning more calories than you consume creating a calorie deficit will cause weight loss - whether you're eating ice cream or not. Both the above "Ice Cream Diet" and the "military Diet", involving ice cream, recommends consuming the same amount of calories - which may not be healthy in your particular case.

Please tell us how it changed your life? The same with the saltine cracker breakfast.

I would have to use for gluten free crackers which is fine, but it just doesnt seem filling enough for me. This is horrible advice, people!! Quit the diet merry go round. Quit the starvation!! Go vegan!!! Carb up! Eat as much as you want! Eat more do more! Carbs are life. I never had results with this or similar diets either, for me because I naturally don't have a very big appetite so my body doesn't see this as a diet at all really.

It's also a rather evenly portioned distribution of nutrients, which is good! If you have a similar problem trying something other than a meal plan type diet might be a better idea. This diet. Doesn't work. I followed everything that it told me to do and I only lost 2 pounds. The best healthy that I've ever done was a salmon diet that a doctor recommend. You can lose 5 pounds. I'm so excited to see the end results! I just went grocery shopping and had my first meal.

Instead of peanut butter I had some organic almond butter at home, and I blended the grapefruit into a juice with ice and a little bit of water, no sugar added. My tummy is so far satisfied! Day3 here and I have lost 5 pounds!!! I am so excited I don't know why this cannot be done long term though I don't feel bad at all..

I would like to get an answer to a substitute for eggs. That the only thing holding up from starting. I need to lose 12 pounds before knee surgery in 16 days. My husband and I just started this diet today. We are excited to see the end result! Wishing luck to everyone who is doing this! What a great jump start to the New Year! Hello, I cannot find sugar free ice cream anywhere! So is an ice cream with no sugar added ok? Or is there something else I could eat instead?

I want to do the 3 day plan but I cannot eat eggs as I am allergic to them. What would I be able to eat in place of them? I couldn't resist the idea of a diet with proper ice cream.

The note on coffee is interesting and might explain my tiredness recently, thanks. What can be sub'd for grapefruit, as my hubby cant have it due to medication? Thanks so much! I noticed on day two Is this correct? Three cups total for day two. The other days are two cups total. Just wondering if this may be a typo overlooked. I did day two first since I had most of those items. That was a lot of food to eat for dinner.

I weighed out the ounces on a scale and it was more than I eat on a normal basis. However, this is a doable diet and I'm excited to try it. Thank you :. This plan sounds very do-able, but I can't stand grapefruit.

Is there something else I can do in place of the grapefruit? Also if you have time would you please re-read the plan. There are several mistakes that made me unclear.

I would hate to assume what was meant and really mess it up. Thank you. I can't eat grapefruit because I have acid reflux. Is there anything that I can substitute it for? Add Your Comment.. I just started this diet again, was in it years ago and lost about 55 lbs on it. It was quick loss for a minute but it gets you off the fats and sugars. After a while I didn't have to watch what I was eating it was just natural.

Started to have more energy, started to exercise more, lost more weight, then hit plateau, but evened out muscle with fat.

Clothes got bigger for once! We'll Have to see how well I do this time. There are some pretty great gluten free crackers. You can replace with those. Or a slice of gluten free bread. Eating too little is just as bad for putting on weight as eating too much. Try to eat more frequently to speed up your metabolism. Tell us if this diet helped at all! I love grapefruit juice!

However, grapefruit juice alone isn't as good as grapefruit as it lacks the fiber! Candelosa, yes you can drink coffee. But if you are one of those people whose bloodsugar gets affected by coffee, then try to have only water. I'm trying this but instead of grapefruit, I'm drinking grapefruit juice.

Hopefully it still works. I'm on day 2 of this diet. I felt that the dinners are a bit much to eat with fruit and then Ice cream. I've been eating small portion of salmon for dinner which taste great. Since the day I turned 50 nothing worked for me I just kept gaining weight and was already following strict diets.

If this don't work for me then I quit. Thanks for the diet plan. Hi, could you please list some alternatives to this plan for those who are gluten free? I want to try this but am gluten free so need to know what to eat for the bread and saltine crackers. Am on day 2, started on Wednesday and it's not as easy as it seems. I tend to be feeling a lil lightheaded and weak but am determined to do this, I drink about 8 bottles of water a day and I have done everything to the T.

Am not really seeing any changes on my body. Ill get on the scale Saturday and fingers crossed I have lost weight and this was all worth it. Like you said for example for lunch 1 egg and 2 slices of bread , I should eat these two together or just choose one? Thx for replying. Does it affect the results if I don't eat breakfast?
