I tried a different version of this diet but the rules and menu wasn’t as clear as this version… I was already on a very low calorie eating plan before I started so the low calories didn’t effect my daily eating much. I lost about 3 kgs in 13 days and that to me is a big win and I lost a whole bunch of cm’s. I will try this version in a few months because according to this I “cheated” a lot 🙂
Look I’m actually all for lifestyle changing instead of diets… but if your mindset is right a diet can teach you some key lessons on how and what to eat.
And remember after your diet, keep to a healthy lifestyle otherwise you will just pick up all the weight you’ve lost.
The 13 Day Metabolism Diet
- Due to the strength of this diet, it is recommended that you plan it so that you do not have any big events planned during your next 13 days.
- The best starting time is on a Sunday, which only gives you one miserable weekend. This allows you to lose min 9 Kg only if it is done strictly. From the 14th day you can start eating normally again, without putting on weight for three years because the diet has altered your metabolism.
- WW (Wholewheat bread) – only to be eaten with A SCRAPING of butter/margarine – nothing else.
- Please note that you need to drink a minimum of 2 liters of water per day. The purpose of this diet is to change your metabolism, with the result that after this diet you can eat normally again. Please note that this is not a traditional crash diet, but a diet to change your metabolism digestion as it continuous working after 13 days. If the diet is followed in a strict manner, you should lose all excess body fat, between 9-20 kg. This diet must be followed for 13 days only-no longer and no less.
- If during the 13 days you consume 1 beer, 1 glass of wine one piece of chewing gum or any extra food, you might as well stop diet because it becomes pointless and the diet will have no effect in this case, you may try again after 3 months.
- If you have followed this diet perfectly for 13 days, you must not repeat it under any circumstances before 12 months have passed. It is recommended that this diet is repeated every 2 years if so required.
- no cheating, not even slightly.
- no chewing gum (even the sugar free types)
- no alcohol: beer, wine, champagne, ciders, etc
- no milk, sugar (exception of day 8!) Or honey are allowed.
- you may use sweetener (aspartame free), lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, onions and salt and pepper for seasoning. No other spices or fresh herbs, no salad dressing (even if it’s light)
- ham can be substituted for lean beef (silverside)
- no diet coldrinks allowed – only coffee for breakfast 7am – 12pm (lunch) the rest of the day you must drink water (lemon juice can be added)
- salad consists only of lettuce & cucumber
- no oil for cooking (even if it’s extra virgin olive oil) spray & cook may be used.
- this diet is set out the way it is to detox your metabolism and to give it a boost, if you change food in it there is no certainty that the diet will work the way it is suppose to.
And here’s a Different Version

hi, my religion abstains from beef and pork, what can I replace it with?
Hi Ashina, I’m not sure… On the 3 day military diet the rule is this…
Can I substitute one food for another?
There is nothing “magical” about the foods in the 3 day diet meal plan. It’s about the calories. If you substitute the same calorie amount of a similar food you like for one you don’t, it won’t change the outcome. Just substitute a protein for a protein and a vegetable for a vegetable etc.
Hope that helps
What exactly is carrots with lemon on Day five of the metabolic diet
What I did with this was simply have carrot with squeezed lemon juice over it
WHAT ARE THE DANGERS OF REPEATING THE PLAN IF I HAVE NOT REACHED THE DESIRED WEIGHT?
I did not create this plan and not a dietitian, I suggest you research the Max Planck Diet
can i use this diet as an eating plan (forever)?
I did not create this plan and not a dietitian, I suggest you research the Max Planck Diet
No, your body will never survive as this is not nutricional
I don’t drink coffee nor eat ham what can be the replacement
Hi, coffee can always be replaced with water or herbal tea… ham not sure…
the 3 day Military diet say you can replace Hotdogs with Lentils (1/2 cup lentils/beans = 1 hotdog) Bratwurst and veggie dogs are fine also.
can i also take protein drink while on diet?
Hi, I didn’t create the diet but I think it’s a no… only the food on the list
No, you cannot consume anything thats not on this list. Its very restrictive
hello can i cancel a certain part without replacment
Hi, I didn’t create the diet, so can’t answer you this
Nope, each ingredient is essential in order for this dieet to work
What happened if you cheat once I mean once must I leave the diet .
Yes… If during the 13 days you consume 1 beer, 1 glass of wine one piece of chewing gum or any extra food, you might as well stop diet because it becomes pointless and the diet will have no effect in this case, you may try again after 3 months.
Can you exercise with the diet?
very low calories so I would suggest not to exercise if you are not regularly exercising already
How much yoghurt is allowed on day 4, for supper.
didn’t create the diet….
so use your discretion… portion size would probably be 150ml
Is it ok to substitute raw spinach instead of cooked if you are out as long as its within the same portion size (or approximately). Started today and had to do this in a pinch of time but will start prepacking meals in the future. Or does this completely defeat it so should i just scrap it and start tomorrow? and since its my first day i mixed breakfast and lunch and had coffee with my salad variation, but will make sure to not do this in the future. Should i just eat normal today and start again tomorrow since its only been one meal? thanks.
Sorry haven’t checked this blog in so long…. think raw might be better… Hope you did well on this program.
Hi
What can I replace eggs with as I do not eat eggs?
Didn’t create this diet so can’t really say…. but if you check out replacements other diets suggests…
Instead of Egg?
2 slices of bacon, 1 chicken wing, a cup of milk, or 1/4 cup of nuts
Hi, can I have wine on the evening of the seventh day as it says you can have anything you want for dinner
If during the 13 days you consume 1 beer, 1 glass of wine one piece of chewing gum or any extra food, you might as well stop diet because it becomes pointless and the diet will have no effect in this case, you may try again after 3 months.
I love this dieet, its hard as hell but it works fantastic – should tou follow it correct
how many WW slices of bread can you have?
I only have one slice
Can I swop the dinner and lunch around?
Yes I have swopped the two around, just keep breakfast as breakfast (carbs)
Thanks I’m on day 10 I’m feeling changes in my body already.
I’m glad you found this useful… please let me know what your result were
