Lose 10 Pounds In 3 Days With This Military Diet

More than one in three American adults over 20 is obese — up from roughly one in four 20 years ago — and nearly 70% are overweight. And millions of other people are currently carrying more weight than they’d like this time of year, thanks to the annual holiday overeating ritual.

Many Americans experience not only health problems but also guilt and shame over these added pounds. And that’s why weight loss — an industry of diet companies, weight-loss supplement manufacturers, diet book authors and obesity doctors — is big business.

The bottom line: For many, our extra weight is a source of cash. And to get that cash, some companies are willing to stretch the truth of what their products will do.

Simply put – most OTC products and fad diets are useless, and losing weight requires a healthy balance of diet and exercise.

Void of a health issue, losing weight shouldn’t be that challenging.

The formula is simple:  EAT LESS, MOVE MORE. That way your body will tap into stored body fat as energy (as opposed to the food you eat.)

For many of us, the problem with sticking to nutrition and fitness plans is that we usually don’t get immediate gratification for our efforts.

So – we’re offering you a healthy 3-day military diet that can help you lose 10 pounds, thus giving you almost immediate gratification and the motivation needed to stick to the diet!

*This diet is intended for women, but men are recommended to add an extra 100 calories a day in the form of protein.
