Israeli Army Diet
The Israeli Army diet is a classic fad diet that was popular in the 1970s. Like most fad diets the name has nothing to do with the source. The Israeli Army diet has no connection whatsoever with the Israeli Army.
The diet also has a number of other factors in common with crash diets – low calories, poor nutrition, and subsequent weight gain.
Israeli Army Diet Plan
This diet is not recommended. It is one of most nutritionally unbalanced diets around.
The diet plan was for 8 days where the same food would be eaten for 2 days at a time.
- Days 1 – 2: Apples
- Days 3 – 4: Cheese
- Days 5 – 6: Chicken
- Days 7 – 8: Salad
Black tea or coffee are allowed.
Why not try The 100 Calorie Diet instead which is a healthy low calorie diet.
What do salad on the 7/8 day mean. If its one type of food thats consumed? Is it only green salad?
What else can i eat besides apples i’ve run out lol
i’d do it
Sick diet. ill die of hunger
I did this diet on and off in the 70′s and 80′s. At one stage I alernated it 8 days on the diet 8 days off, eating moderately and sensibly on the off days, in a period of 6 months I lost 55 kilo’s. I kept eating sensibly there after and kept the weight off and have not been over weight since. It worked for me and only improved my health immmensly. it’s very hard and you need willpower plus! I also avoid apples noe like the plague….lol, but still love cheese and chicken!
For anyone that wants to diet, it will not work. One must change their eating habits for the weight to stay off. I have never tried this one but I have a different lifestyle when it comes to eating and it works for me. Also one must remember that everyone’s body is different and different people need different things to loose wieght. Example when I was younger I watched my fat in take to maintain my weight and now I have to watch the carbs. I am just giving a bit of advice change the way you eat and it will all work out! Congrats though to anyone loosing weight.
what a great meal…!!!, this is what soldiers deserve.
[...] have a warning for the general stupidity one would have to have to try these diets. For example the Israeli Army Diet (a diet with absolutely nothing to do with the Israeli Army). There seems to be a handful of these [...]
Hi interesting to read all your comments. I did do this diet and lost around 5-6 kgs. As long as you know this is a quick fix for a special occasion you can be very sensible about it.
For those of you who have not tried this dies I really don’t believe you can be so negative about it or towards whomever wishes to try it.
Healthy eating is a lifestyle change and one you need to keep for the rest of your life.
Good luck to anyone who does do it but again you must realize that it is really a quick fix.
Anyone that would attempt to follow a diet as unhealthy as this, deserves what they get.
im a peso veg
can i change the chicken to tuna.?
im realy want to try this but i cant eat cheese…..what can i change it for….any ideas….would yogut work do you think??,i also dont like milk(other than milk shake.or what about eggs??and to all those who tell us this is soooo BAD…well were all not so lucky to be able to fart out 5lbs some of us find it hard,i worked my ass off in the gym and swam every day for 7mnth and eat healthy…..and all i lost was a crappy 5lb so if i can do this and loose that in a week WELL im up for it!!
this is the greatest diet around all of you who dont use it are crazy becasue you are just mad that you are fat and cant kepp on this diet. keep up the good work
they only way to keep excess weight off is eating at least three healty meal a day ,exerciseing at least 3 times a week drink plenty of water ,and have a treat once in a while i have tried all fad diets but ,……….they are never long term people have to understood that ur body needs the proper vitiams ,mineral and protien to function instead of looseing 10lbs in aweek and gaining it back and more the next week , try to eat healthy each day and u will be rewarded ,
i promise this works u might not get very fast results stright away like these fad diets but u will get longterm results ,which will last a life time good luck ash
I lost 14 lbs on this diet in 1978 and did not regain it. I’m going to try it again now…but it is hard going and hard to stick to…particularly the cheese days . And you have to eat the same cheese.
