This is helpful. I used to weigh over 400 pounds. I need to have both knee joints replaced. My orthopedic surgeon said that I needed to get down to 275 pounds to be approved for my first of two surgeries. I hit that goal today! But I can improve my diet, cut back on the caffeine and quit vaping. I cannot walk unassisted. So I use a wheeled walker. I went over 2.5 miles today. It is grueling, especially on trails. It took me an hour. I want to improve my time and distance before my first surgery. So I am going to incorporate low impact calisthenics. It's back to bootcamp, but gimp bootcamp. The nutritional advice was sound and useful. Thank you, Roger "Doc" Thompson.

The strongest opponent you will ever face is yourself, and that's a fight you must win.

100% right about SERE school, be a fatty! I showed up 160lbs, left 3 weeks later, 145lbs.

[@spaceman51974]

I was pretty fit in my 20s being an airborne paratrooper, albeit eating junk food and all. Now in my 40's I started eating carnivore (a more strict form of Keto) about 3 years ago. I have waaay more energy, endurance and no up-and-down blood sugar levels. I am fitter and feel better now than in my 20's. Once you become a fat burner instead of a glucose burner, it doesn't matter if I don't eat for a day or two. No cravings, no hunger pangs. There is a reason the Huns were some of the best warriors that ever walked the earth, creating one of the biggest empires in history. They mostly ate horse meat. You can carry waaayyy more calories in the form of fat than in the form of glucose. Glucose deposits have to constantly be replenished (hence why so many people snack) But the mitochondria have to be trained to become fat (ketone) burning instead of glucose. For some that grew up on junk this can take months. But the benefits are clear: latest research shows that most of the modern chronic diseases are a result of constantly elevated insulin levels. Eliminate the insulin spikes (by going low/no carb) and you not only stay healthy but have an abundance of energy as well. I wish I had known this when I was an active military member.

I know a lot dudes out there will say they understand but when you pound pickets 3 x 300 meter triple strand put in a couple minefields and many other things while doing infantry work and carrying around all the shit you need to do its a bit different.

My PT score were never great but average. What I did excel in was endurance. Some guys scored the infamous 300 in the pt tests but could not keep up mentally or physically in forced marches or long field training. I took every experience to adjust or tweak myself for the next event.

The one about eating before the mission is really sound advice! I would also add always have a quick energy source available (if training or circumstances allow) like cliff bar or cereal bar, something quick n easy in a pocket that can be eaten on the move or in a hurry. I'd also say learn what foods are more likely to give you bowel trouble. If I know I may be in for a long haul and may not have the luxury of popping a squat for a long time, I will avoid pork or stuff smothered in bbq sauce.

Your videos are amazing. Thanks for all your hard work and effort putting them together. Recently my son tried to enlist in the Canadian National Armed Forces ( army branch). Even though my son is in amazing physical shape and would have been able to pass basic training no problem they would not accept him. The problem is he failed the aptitude test given before you even sign the 3 year contract. My son is not that great in math and spacial concepts so that is the part he did not do well on. It's a shame because the army would have been absolutely amazing for him. He is only 19 and needs direction in his life. The army would have straightened him right out. The army said that he can come back in a year from now and rewrite the aplitude test. I really hope that he passes the opportune test next time he takes it, the army is exactly what he needs..

To the point, and well explained. To pinch from my own experience, give the keto diet some attention to see what's in it for you, especially when carbo-loading does not work out for you.

[@MellowFellowOfYellow]

Keto only works for fat people that have never heard of portion control

[@longfatpickle9993]

Awesome video. Wish I had this advice many years ago during years of trainings and academies. Thanks!

[@willmoore3537]

i drank monster energy for so long my heart hurts and has irregular beating patterns when i do cardio or hard workouts. anyone training for something like this, make sure you dont drink monster or any energy drinks, that shit is so bad for you long term.

I had some opposite problems when going to the field. I'd usually eat quite healthy normally and then we go to the field and survive off MREs which are packed with preservatives and crap and have a bunch of sugary stuff and I'd have a week long headache from the fact that my body had to deal with me eating so much worse suddenly :/

[@jarrettcaveness9291]

Hey man I love your videos, I know you did a video on tips that you would give teens that want to join SOF but I was curious if you could do a video specifically for fitness tips for teens.

Just a question who drinks cold coffee IN THE NIGHT

[@kebman]

I've noticed that whole grains and "coarse" bread (the kind we have in Norway) tend to last longer. I always eat this with meats, cheese and fat milk before do anything that needs endurance. But then I'm no elite soldier, lol!

[@AntiKiwieCS]

White bread has very very few nutrients and packed with sugar.

[@kebman]

@@AntiKiwieCS Yeah man, I noticed this when I was in my early 20's. We've got a lot of frozen pizza on the market here in Norway, and I'd notice that even if I got full, I'd still feel tired and get a head ache after having a pizza. It's really tasty, of course, but it doesn't last at all, so I stopped, and focused on making delicious and high-protein casseroles for dinner instead, with meat and beans and so on.

[@PartyChicken407]

Thanks for the helpful video guy.

[@potestoniko]
