Eat healthy, fear no fats, eat more meat, maybe lower carbs. ALL Carbs are suger, Fats and proteins are building blocks needed to build and repair. Carbs are burnt off (as energy) or stored (as Fat). During Desert Shield/Storm, I went in at 230 lbs and exited at 194 lbs. I ate as I needed, performed well, was not sick, was not weak.
Take the advice given here by some very good folks and value less the "health Freaks". Blitzzz ( use to be callled "land Shark")

Exactly.
I went to the then Phase I, with incorporated survival training, fit, but about 10 pounds heavier than I could have gotten down to, and tried to keep my weight up throughout the phase because I knew I was going to be starving for five days or so. I went out at 195, and came back at 174. If I had gone out at 185, I would have had less left to burn.
SFAS will feed you through the course, but anyone who has wrestled (or participated in a weight-classed sport) knows that you are better and stronger at your natural weight than if you have to crash, starve, spit, and sweat to make a lower weight or to gain definition.
