I actually dont ship until May 25, but I have been learning from several current Rangers and veterans. Basically, eat HEALTHY not particularly less. Get some exercise in after each meal if possible, rather than eating and sitting, aloowing a good portion of energy to be stored as fat. Drink water. LOTS of water. I try to drink 4-5 bottles of water a day. Again, eat healthy and get everyhting that you need. I no longer drink Soda, Ill have some candy maybe 1 time a week, I take a daily multivitamin and usually a power bar at some point in the day to make sure I get all my needed vitamins and minerals.
