Thanks for the reminder buddeh.

Do you drink alchohol /fit/ ? How many servings per week?
I only drink on occassions (when I go out). Don't go out that much but when I do I drink loads of alcohol
>>42530480
yea a shit ton.
>servings
lmao what's a serving of alcohol? on a typical friday/saturday night i'll have like 12 beers
Drinking is shit for your body. If it were discovered today it would be outlawed.
Was drinking beers fairly consistently throughout the week because it's summer and I don't have AC, however I just started getting /fit/ again starting this month and have cut back drastically. Only drink like once a week when goofing off with friends, usually just a bunch of beers. It's really taking its toll on me now though at age 33 and I just end up pissing and shitting like the entire following day so I'd like to cut back even more or maybe switch to just whiskey or something
Daily reminder to drink more water buddeh
Oh shit imma refill right now
>>42530445
Good on ya buddeh

Redpill me on the alkaline diet
diet that exists because retards will believe anything you tell them.
there are some people who think you can actually modify your bodies pH by what you eat lmfao.
i know a couple retards who think if you make your body 'suber alkaline' you can beat cancer.
hint: if you were able to even SLIGHTLY change your bodies pH by eating acidic/alkaline foods you'd die pretty fast.

orange juice has a pH around 4, is this graphic full blown retarded?
I'm bulking, tracking my macros through MyFitnessPal and I've noticed a lot of the times while I hit my calories and protein and fats ( sometimes over how much I should ), I almost always go low when it comes to carbs, and I don't know what to do.
How does that affect me? Also, how do I plan my meals better so I hit all my macros correctly?
>>42530187

Step 1 - Eat your protein requirement
Step 2 - Get a decent amount of your fats
Step 3 - Pringles
>>42530807
Why Pringles?

Is there anywhere where I don't have to pay out the ass for any of this?
>>42530299
eat out one less time a month and it covers your subscription, $30 is nothing.
Otherwise, make sure you're running a 300 on your PFT (I'm only familiar with the Marine PFT) and you'll be good physically, mentally is entirely on you. Most guys don't drop because they can't hack it physically, they break mentally. Also know how to swim, if those numbers you posted are yours, you look to be damn close to a perfect candidate. If that's what you're saying you need to get to, we'd need to know where you're at, clarify please.
Remember that the "s" is BUD/s means "school". They'll teach you and get you into the shape you need to be if you're mentally tough enough and of upper 25% in terms of seaman fitness to be a SEAL/DEVGRU

What if my employer does a random drug test?
>>42530039
1. yes
2. no
3. nothing
>>42530039
Its something your body naturally builds on its own, you're just adding more on top of what your body already has, just like testosterone. It wont pop up on a drug test.
>>42530039
yes
no

I'm sat in my room drinking a cup of tea with no sugar. This is going to be worth it in the end r-right? The aroma of that food is fucking intoxicating
>>42529944
Today I picked up one of my friends and they had a giant bag of fast food from a really high quality place in town. I almost passed out from sheer desire to eat it based on the smell. If you give in, you WILL feel like shit. I didn't give in. Instead I went home and ate a few almonds and a tomato. We all have the willpower to make it, it's just a question of whether you'll use it
>>42529944
Its hard to want to do something that has no clear ending in sight, or check points. You don't know when you'll lose 10 pounds, but if you eat that bullshit your dad ordered you never will
>>42529944
lmao i eat whatever i want and it doesn't matter
