What’s the craziest diet you’ve ever tried?! TBH I have a couple, but there’s one that really takes the cake… it’s called the 3 Day Military Diet and you eat prescribed meals involving things like canned tuna, cottage cheese, hot dogs and saltine crackers. Oh, and 1 cup of ice cream every night. The ice cream part sold me… I mean, how could a diet with ice cream be so bad?! 🍦
.
But honestly it was the worst experience I’ve ever willingly put myself through. Not only was it super restrictive and weird (hot dogs, WTH?!?), but by the third day I was basically on house arrest because everything inside of me was coming out and I had to be within a few feet of the toilet or I’d risk pooing my pants. This didn’t happen, thankfully.

I was in England for the summer with my BFF and while she was out having fun on the beach, I had to stay at the house. She and I laughed about the whole thing at the time, but looking back on it now it makes me so sad that I felt like I needed to diet during what should have been a carefree summer in another country.
.
I honestly don’t remember if I made it through the full 3 days of the diet or even if I lost weight, I just remember it being a real low point in my journey. 😔

Thankfully, over the years I’ve learned that diets DON’T work. Through EBF, my goal is to prove that you can live a healthy and happy, balanced life without dieting or focusing on your weight all the time. My motto: healthy habits > dieting! 👏
