I joined the army, need to lose some weight.

jmiester96 · 04-29-2006

Hey guys, I enlisted in the army and i'm leaving in July. I need to try and lose as much weight as I can before then. Can anybody give me some good tips or some good ideas of diet plans I can get on. I'm not working out but I'm doing cardio to try and lose some weight. Thanks.

go to your recruiter. He will help you with it. He will give you work outs that make your transition to basic easier. When I enlisted there was a weight watchers like group. We would come weigh in once a week.

Some good tips in this thread:

Be sure you restrict your carbs. Eat only good carbs such as oatmeal, brown rice, sweet potato, lentils, or whole wheat pasta. No sweets, no beer/alcohol, fries, fast food.

the key is exercise and lots of it. but like someone said figure out what they do in basic or you wont be able to move the next day

is everything on here good to eat? I just wanted to make sure.

oh and how many carbs should I be eating a day? I read on that other forum that you eat your weight x 11 in calories a day, but how many carbs are you supposed to eat a day.
