A lot of the Military diet followers have been confused whether to add any spices to their meals or just follow the plan as it is.

However, the only thumb rule to be followed is – the seasons should not contain heavy calories. For a better understanding, I’ve provided a list of the minimum calorie seasonings, which you can add to your meals for a better taste.
