Military Diet Substitutions and the Basic Concept
You are thinking about losing weight fast – in 3 days, is possible. And then you come across this diet method, known as the military diet substitution, and you are thinking, “Does it mean that I have to eat like the soldiers?” Well, the answer is both yes and no. Yes, in terms that you need to be discipline and determined to make sure that your diet works like a charm. No, in terms that you don’t have to deal with lousy meals – you simply substitute some of the ingredients with the one that suits your condition.
The idea of military diet substitution is to combine some of the most powerful substances that can enhance metabolism as well as improving the fat burning process. It isn’t about calories only, but about managing the menu so the ‘matching’ foods can work together to deliver a more promising result. There are some lists of foods that you can use – as well as you should avoid. Not only you have to follow the diet vigorously, you need to be discipline and strict about it. The diet is basically incorporating anything vegetarian, gluten free, and lactose free.
A lot of people think that this diet is quite flexible, meaning that you can substitute the ingredients based on your condition. For instance, if you are a vegetarian, feel free to use the non dairy cheese instead of the cheddar cheese. Here are some of the substitute lists:
- To substitute the grapefruit, you can consume orange, blackberries, or raspberries. Try baking soda too, if you don’t mind.
- To substitute the peanut butter, you can consume pumpkin or almond butter. You can also try chickpea hummus, sunflower seed butter, or sunflower seeds.
- To substitute the bread, you can consume two small rice cakes or rice tortillas. Half teaspoon flax seed with ¼ cup Greek yogurt will also do.
These are only the examples of military diet substitution – there are still more out there. Find out what they are and have fun!
