The Military Diet is my favorite diet. Every time I have tried it, I lost several pounds. It isn't easy, it takes discipline. So here goes, I will document what I eat, and the cost for 3 days. I'm going to buy everything I eat just for this, and so I can determine the exact cost and calorie count.
This is way too much detail and nobody cares, but I would be interested if someone else put this much detail up, and besides it holds me accountable.

I roasted the chicken breast and green beans. The butter certainly wasn't on the plan, but it made it a gourmet feast. I had to force myself to finish all the green beans.
