SAS selection the diet

I have a mate in the marines and he said during selection that night they were given junk food apparently good for energy

 

no comment..

 

No you cannot eat like that and have the fuel your body needs.

 

Yes.

If your body does not get all it needs it dies.

You don't have to give it all it wants.

So of course, it is possible.

 

its possible
but not healthy
think of heavyweight boxers some any way ive seen bad diets in that area and they are fat but fit

 

The ozzy SAS are the best special forces team in the wrld and that is a fact.

 

They're not looking to scultp their body into a work of art.. most don't care for proper diets or nutrition.

They have to pass selection and not a walk on a catwalk with a 6pack. Alot of A.F.L. footballers, and id guess other codes to, dont especially have strict diets.. not near as strict as most amateur boxers.

 

:good

Don't have to make weight. Melbourne Victoria?

 

Yep.. exactly. They diet to a reasonable degree.. but because they are not goverened by weight restrictions, theyre diet can be pretty lax. Just like it would be for those boxers who dont struggle to make weight id imagine.

And yea mate, Melbourne, Victoria. You too?

 

Of course it is. Its full of bad carbs.

 

Obviously you cant do that every night. But in the army or SAS thats a regime that is extremely demanding on your body. Guiness isnt too bad as it contains alot of iron and some protein in minor amounts. (If done our traditional West Indian way its basically a high powered energy drink with tons of protein) The chips is obviously bad carbs and fat. Within a matter of hours and possibly days he would have burnt most of that off and the rest of the rubbish would pass through him.

My body doesnt metabolise fish and chips well at all. The last time i had it it gave me gut ache because the fat content was so high and i spent most of the evening on the shitter. If your body has a well trained metabolism as do all members of the army there bodies can assimilate the best parts of that diet quite well. But naturally this kind of diet would have to be sporadic for obvious reasons.

 

The Marines take in over 5000 calories a day, they have to do this to stand up to the training. A lot of this stuff will be food like bacon, sausages etc.

Nobody here can say their diets are bad though, by the time a marine gets through training they're as fit as any professional athlete and fitter than anybody on here.

 

french foreign legion are fitter

 

There is no pass or fail to join the french foreign legion. You could be in any sort of shape and get in.

You have to be in very good physical shape to even get in the Marines, once you're in they'll get you to your physical peak, culminating in a 48KM march in full kit which needs to be completed in 8 hours.
