What browser are you using?

It's a military site, and mother Army uses its own certificates as opposed to standard civilian ones. Tends to cause havoc if you don't have your browser set to accept them. Last time I re-installed my OS (and all accompanying software), my browsers kept telling me AKO et all were potential forgeries.

If it gives you the option to accept the certificate when you get that message, accept it (https .mil site = good to go). Otherwise, let me know what browser you're using and I'll let you know how to make it play nice.

A good idea for a soldier, I'm sure you'll agree...

Here's the concept:

http://www.cbass.com/warrior_diet.htm

Ori Hofmekler is a very lean and fit former columnist for Penthouse magazine, a world-renown artist (his paintings are best known for their political satire), and the founder and Editor-In-Chief of the men’s health and fitness magazine Mind & Muscle Power. He eats three square meals a day – all in the evening at one sitting. He calls it the "Warrior Diet," and he’s convinced that most of us, men and women, would be better off eating the same way. He also offers a line of Warrior supplements.Snip

This study (as do several others) takes the "frequency" angle:

The conclusion I come to is this: Based on individual records (say, bodybuilders v. General McChrystal) and results from either system, they both obviously work; eating 5 meals a day won't predispose you to bingeing as easily as fasting 'til the night (I've done both-one meal at night due to circumstance and necessity a la patrolling); I never get out of my hunger "comfort zone" when I eat several during the day. (And, I don't get fatter.)

I glean from everything I've read (linked thru google) that it doesn't really matter when you ingest the chow, just that it's in the right amount and nutritional makeup.

So, if I'm getting the same results whether 5 meals or 1, and 5's easier to do, guess which one the Dustmeister's gonna stick with?

That's just me, though...

I had a team sergeant once who told me that the most effective form of PT is one that'll let you outrun the guy you can't beat up...and beat up the guy that you can't outrun.

There's a lot of truth there too.

Should have said I only eat cooked or processed food once a day, at night.

I do this as much as possible anyhow... It is rather difficult at times with deployments, training, courses, etc. Chick-fil-a is too easy...

Plenty healthy.... I have never felt better, I don't feel like napping in the middle of the day, have plenty of energy, and am as strong as ever... I still hate running though...

Or you can just carry a good gun and be good with said gun, like me...

There's a lot of truth in that statement as well.
