The three-day diet or a military eating routine, as the name infers, includes an exceptionally strict dietary regimen and it is very crucial that you follow all the rules: the right time to eat – very important; do not change the menu – also very important! Or, you will not get the desired results. You have to consult with your doctor before you decide to start this powerful “adventure”.
This eating routine has a plan that does not allow any changes, and all guidelines must be followed to the end if you want to reach the desired results. Given that this diet works on the principle of chemical breakdown, you cannot apply the food substitution method and try to replace some of the foods with others that you like better. Concerning the spices, just salt and pepper are allowed and nothing else.
The meals are at the same time, consistently, regardless of whether you are hungry or not. After you finished the diet, keep a normal diet at least four days. After that you can rehash the whole process if you want. While on a diet, you have to do some exercises.
