  15. Consequences

  16. Nutritional Threat • Research shows 50% increase in bodyfat in the months following Ranger School. • Caused by overeating and “binge eating” • Rangers sometimes justify overeating by thinking they just experienced starvation. Follow Me Rangers Lead the Way!

  17. Nutritional Plan • 2 MREs provide 2400-2600 calories, so Ranger School is not starvation but rather food restriction. • Allow yourself 2 weeks(maximum) post Ranger School to indulge and eat what you want. • After the 2 week time frame start setting eating a balanced diet without all the junk/fast food. Follow Me Rangers Lead the Way!

  18. Nutritional PlanContinued • Fill up on fruit and vegetables when you during and in between meals • Avoid drinking your calories; avoid regular soda and drinking excess juice (eat the fruit), and gatorade (if PT is longer than 1 hour, OK to consume) • Insulin sensitivity • Body’s regulators out of whack
