The marine diet is just a low calorie and high protein diet. Low sugar means your blood glucose levels do not rise after eating and you do not store extra fat (insulin released slowly). Lower calories means you breakdown the fat stores. Insulin is also an inhibitor of glucagon, and glucagon is the hormone which triggers the breakdown of TAGs (fat stores). So that would be why you lose weight on a marine diet. Same as any healthy and low calorie diet really, such as a low GI diet. Hi Liz, not really sure what you mean.

So I cannot answer the question about not exercising until day 4. As for can it cause harm, well, any diet that is very restrictive is likely to cause some problems at some point as by definition the body is not getting all the nutrition that it wants. The diet plan shared by Ally above includes fruits, meat, cheese, vegetables early on, so really your should be able to maintain this for a while.

This article states that there is no limit to the egg whites you can eat, does this mean it would be ok to chuck in 6- 7 whites with maybe two yolks when cooking, if i were to be looking at a high protein diet for maximum hypertrophy?

I did no exercise during that time, just my daily job, which is quite physical. It advised that no exercise should be done within the first 4 days of commencing the diet. But I suspect as with all diets, there are varying degrees of differences and claims made. Hi, I have done the Royal Marine Diet and lost just over 2 stone in 2 weeks, following it to the letter.

Firstly, well done on losing 18 pounds, that is excellent progress, and glad to hear that the new WeightWatchers points system is working well. Have you been exercising? As in 5 weeks you should be able to burn a lot of fat off with a WeightWatchers diet combined with regular, intensive exercise. You are really always better off balancing exercise with diet. As far as <strong>daily fat loss</strong> is concerned, to reduce calories by 500 and increase exercise by 250 Calories will result in a 750 Calorie deficit. But, if you reduce Calories by 250 and increase exercise by 500 calories (of work) then you have the same daily deficit of 750 Calories, but you get fitter and stronger, which means you increase your fat burning potential. So, increase your exercise intensity for the next 5 weeks, and eat enough to ensure that you are never too tired to exercise. Hi Alyssa.

I have been doing weightwatchers for 11 weeks and had lost 18 lbs (yay) but 4 lbs have crept on somehow :( . so I am thinking of doing the royal marine commando diet for 2 weeks as a boost to my will power and then go back to the weightwatchers until I go. I have about 25 more lbs to go so I am hoping this will get me about half way there :) don't worry I am not expecting to lose it all before I go lol. If anyone else has done this diet will they give some indication of how well it went weight wise and how much you weighed at the start as ide like to know if anyone has done it that's around my weight of just under 11 and half stones. :) I am going on holiday in just over 5 weeks so I have been looking over this diet.
