Worst of the Worst: The Israeli Army Diet

It’s time again to dip into the Every Diet site to see what bad ideas they have to offer the dieting community. For the next 8 days I will be taking on the Israeli Army, or at least their diet. When I first saw the name of this I thought it sounded pretty great. The Israeli Army? What do they eat? Like matzoh-ball soup, bagels, and those chocolate coins? Look, I ‘m not a cultured man, I don’t know much about the Jewish faith. But I’ll eat potato latkes for a week, no problem.

Sadly, the Israeli Army Diet is nothing of the sort (and, unsurprisingly, has nothing to do with the Israeli Army). It’s an 8-day diet where you can eat one type of food every two days. Every Diet calls it “one of most nutritionally unbalanced diets around.” Sounds right up my alley.

Here it is:

Days 1 – 2: Apples

Days 3 – 4: Cheese

Days 5 – 6: Chicken

Days 7 – 8: Salad

I guess the theory is that nothing prepares you more for battle with the Palestinians than the apple-shits.

I’ve started today and will provide updates along the way.
