The Military Diet 3 Day Menu Plan

Military Diet Menu (3 Days Diet)

The Military 3 Day diet is the fastest way to lose pounds in 3 days. The Military Diet Menu is the strict menu for this diet to work out. From the Military Diet Website, it mentions losing up to 10 lbs in a week. The diet plan is effective because it is a low calorie diet plan.

The Military Diet Day 1 Menu Plan

Day 1 Breakfast

1 cup of coffee (no sugar, no creamer, caffeinated)
1 slice of whole wheat toast with 2 tablespoon peanut butter
1/2 grape fruit (I think Pomelo is a good substitute, try 2 slice)

Day 1 Lunch

1 cup of coffee (no sugar, no creamer, caffeinated)
1 slice of whole wheat toast
1/2 cup of tuna

Day 1 Dinner

3 ounces of any meat (I used chicken meat)
1 cup green beans
1/2 banana and 1 plum
1 cup vanilla ice cream

The Military Diet Day 2 Menu Plan

Day 2 Breakfast

1 egg cooked (any way you like it, I got mine scrambled, no oil, no salt)
1 slice of whole wheat toast
1/2 banana

Day 2 Lunch

1 hard boiled egg
5 saline crackers
1 cup cottage cheese (but I can’t find any cottage cheese so I just replaced it with a slice of cheddar cheese)

Day 2 Dinner

1/2 cup carrots
1 cup broccoli
2 hot dogs (I can only eat one!)
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream

The Military Diet Day 3 Menu Plan

Day 3 Breakfast

1 slice of cheddar
1 small plum
5 saline crackers

Day 3 Lunch

1 egg cooked (anyway you liked it, mine was hard boiled)
1 slice toast (whole wheat)

Day 3 Dinner

1 cup tuna
1/2 banana
1 cup vanilla ice cream

TIP! TIP! TIP! To make your ice cream nights taste a lot better, microwave the fruits included on the menu for that time and mix it with vanilla ice cream!

THE VERDICT

I lost 3 pounds in 3 days!

WARNING: You can’t do any physically exhausting activity while on diet and you need to take a 4 day rest after the 3 day diet.

Obviously, it is effective when it comes to weight loss. Imagine if I did the diet in a month with a 4 day interval, I can lose to 12 pounds in a month!

WHY I STOPPED DOING THE MILITARY DIET?

It is effective in a short period of time but in the long run it can ruin my metabolism. The diet is a low calorie diet and it does not boost my metabolism. With my age, my main problem is slower metabolism. I need a diet that can speed up my metabolism and so far, the most effective diet on doing that is eating a complete meal every 4 hours.

WHAT IS A COMPLETE MEAL?

A complete meal, as discussed to us by well known Nutritionists Nadine Tengco should be in this proportion:

1/2 veggies
1/4 protein
1/4 carbo.

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT EFFECTIVELY?

Eat a complete meal every 4 hours
Exercise (Metafit is the fastest fat burning exercise, imagine losing as much as 600 calories in just 4 minutes)
Drink psyllium fiber once everyday

With these 3 simple steps, who needs a Military Diet to lose weight?!? Go ahead and give the Military diet a try and then give the complete meal diet a try too and see the difference.

Plants and Gardening Supplies From Tabang Exit Bulacan

It’s mommy’s time to ask something from our Santa… I want plants! Cypress tree.. succulents.. orchids.. bamboo.. more flowering plants and more plants!

Last weekend, since weekend birthday ni Mother Earth, naglibot kame sa may Tabang Guguinto to look for plants for my garden. Si Mother Earth talaga ang mahilig sa plants.. green hand sya, hindi lang basta green thumb. Kahit ano pa yan, kahit itapon lang nya, tumutubo. Nagtapon sya ng buto ng mangga doon sa dati namin tinitirhan, ayun malapit na mamunga!

If you have been to that side of Bulacan, you’d know that after Tabang exit (dun sa bayaran part ha), kabi- kabila na ang mga tindahan ng halaman. You can buy gardening and landscaping supplies there. Landscaped trees, bonsai plants, flowering plants, pebbles and all kinds of grass (bermuda grass, frog grass, korean grass). Pero may secret pala ang Bulacan.. behind those stores along the highway is a subdivision where you can buy cheaper landscaping supplies and plants. Almost all houses inside that village have their own gardening business.

Finding that “secret garden” is easy.. Here’s a map!

CLUE: Look for Puregold Guiguinto and before Puregold, turn right and voila!

Our first stop was RG Plant Nursery. Sila lang may orchids eh. My mom insist on buying orchids for my living room. We’re looking for butterfly orchids. Unfortunately, they only have dendrobium that time and most are not flowering. Gusto nga ni Mother Earth mapuno ng bulaklak ang bahay ko eh. Dendrodium was only 80 Pesos per pot.

Dendrobium Orchids from Tabang, Guiguinto, Bulacan for only 80 Pesos per pot

Anthurium all year round flower for only 350 Pesos per pot

We opted for anthurium which cost a bit higer (350 Pesos each!). It never stops blooming naman daw.. sooo sulit na din! Now, I have a supply of fresh flowers everyday!

I also want to buy money tree but it is so expensive (300 Pesos per pot)!! Specially the one that comes from Thailand (2000 Pesos per pot!).

Since I really want some cypress trees, we asked around and found a supplier, 1500 per plant (5-6 feet). Pag iipunan ko yan! This one naman is cheaper, around 300-400 yata:

And we found a supplier for Bamboo Poles. Eh di ba I want some bamboo poles around my house. Each pot is 300 Pesos with 2 poles each. According to the gardener, I will need 2-3 pots per meter. The height of the bamboo pole is 7-8 feet (just my estimate). Planting of the bamboos are free if you’ll buy from them buuut delivery is around 2000 to 3000 Pesos. Pag- iipunan ko din to!

Our last stop was the nursery beside the church. Sa kanila lang ako nakita ng Poinsettia and other flowering plants.

Poinsettia from Tabang, Guguinto, Bulacan Gardens for only 100 Pesos per pot

Succulents for 35 Pesos

Citronella for 35 Pesos each pot

Ang dami kong gustong bilhin doon but since our car space is limited, uunahin ko na bumili ng Hilux..jooooke laaaang!

Definitely, babalik kame dito to buy more plants.. I want Poinsettia!!

Shout out to Filipina Explorer for her blog post which leads us to this gardening haven and to her directions on how to go there! Muaaaah! Thanks so much!!

We’re Shifting To Petron

But not just because of the Lamborghini nooo. You nuts!

I asked the husband why the shift? It’s because of the Euro4. Petron already offers Euro4 fuel unlike Shell.

As for me, “Dad let’s change to Petron so we can get a Petron Card. It gives 10 Pesos discount when you order Gasul from them. Also, Shell won’t be issuing any more Lego eh.”

Here’s how I learned about the Petron Card:

We just moved here di ba. And so we’re struggling in all aspect of daily living.. walang tindahang malapit, walang kapitbahay na kakilala (although sa kabilang bundok talaga ang kapitbahay namin haha), at higit sa lahat, walang kilalang Gasul delivery!

O sya, LPG store.. sorry naman. We’ve been using Gasul LPG since time immemorial. Parang sa diaper lang yan eh, pag sinabing diapers, Pampers lang.. ganun din sa LPG, Gasul lang. I know there are other brands of LPG pero nasanay na talaga kame sa Petron Gasul eh.. which leads me back to my kwento.

So since we don’t know any LPG stores near us na mapagkakatiwalaan, I learned that I can order Petron Gasul through their hotline:

Spell HASSLE FREE! All caps dahil intense!!! Obviously, I am very happy with their hotline service. They have partner stores pala or accredited stores, they look for the one nearest me and that store took care of my delivery.

Ang tanong: Mura ba?

I really have no idea with the price difference.. I am just after the thought na since it is a partner store, garantisadong safe ang dadalhin sa aking Gasul (at husto sa timbang).

And yeah, during the time I was ordering, I was asked if I have a Petron Gasul.. may discount daw na 10 Pesos if I have one. SAYANG!

If you’re after naman sa Lamborghini, here’s the Mechanics from Petron Website:
