SAS selection the diet

2 pints of guinness and a bag of chips will do nothing for you at all.
If you train like the SAS it's nothing.
For a boxer it's nothing.
It's long term nutrition that is more important.

 

No offense but the Legion is rougherthen the Marines.And they do have a selection course.The Marines you have to be healthy to join and you are screened before entering-you do not have to be in peak shape upon entering bootcamp although it woud be a good idea to be in good shape.

 

Ricky hatton pops to mind

 

Amen.

 

I think the bag of chips and a few drinks is also about having a decent state of mind. These guys work hard and do alot of shitty things while in training so a chance to relax has got to be taken and can give the guys a good mental lift before the next part of training.


Unfortunetly the horror stories coming from the barracks of how badly our troops are being fed means that a bag of chips is probably the routine for them.

 

A bag of chips would be full of carbs but i would have thought that they'd consume a lot of complex carbs like pasta and stuff.

 

andy mc nab is full of **** mate

 

Far from it. You've got to pass potential Legionnaire selection. The don't take in ****.

Anyway, as others have said, SAS are extremly fit, so a pint and a pack of cheese & onion here and there is nothing.

 

Very true.

 

SAS and SBS are the best special forces in the world bar NONE,that is a fact.Best regular forces British Para and Royal Marine again FACT.Allmost every special Forces the world over are based on SAS training and methods,again thats fact.
