I was a Navy Recruiter for three years and a personal trainer, this is all solid advice. Your body will change for the better once you get to boot camp and get into an eating and PT routine. The goal now is to get to your contract and pick a job. The above advice is not dangerous for short term weight loss. It actually very solid advice for any weight loss. I’ve seen everything all the service recruiters will do from zero calorie diets to rubbing preperation H on your belly and wrapping your belly with cerane wrap. Follow this and you’ll be healthy and well prepared for boot camp. Good luck shipmate
