Listen up here, private! There's a NEW diet in town and it's not taking any GUFF from you or anybody else! That's because it's set up like a BOOTCAMP, you see. It's going to be TOUGH! It's going to be ROUGH! But it's going to whip you into SHAPE so that you can get moving and start fighting through your days with the vim and vigor needed to FINALLY MAKE A SOLIDER OUT OF YOU.

Or, at least, this is what The Military Diet promises. On its eating plan, you will drop weight fast—as much as 10 pounds in a week, according to its totally weird website.

If that promise wasn't alluring enough, The Military Diet claims that you can do this without exercise while eating saltine crackers and vanilla ice cream.

That promise sounds kind of awesome if you're the type of person looking to lose weight quickly. And maybe you even like the tough-love approach.

So what do you eat on the Military Diet? Here's a sample plan.

Breakfast

cup of black coffee
half of a grapefruit
a slice of dry toast
Lunch

half a cup of tuna
slice of dry toast
black coffee
Dinner

3 ounces of any type of meat
cup of green beans
half of a banana
small apple
cup of ice cream
The website offers substitutions for people who don't like, or can't eat, certain foods. For example, if you hate grapefruit, you'll get the same weight loss benefits by drinking baking soda in your water. (Uhhhh, yum?)
