Special Operations Forces Nutrition Guide: The Official Updated Special Forces Diet Guidelines [Print Replica] Kindle Edition

by Department Of Defense (Author), Patricia A. Deuster PhD MPH CNS (Author), Tersea Kemmer PhD RD (Author), Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars (1)
This manual is intended to be a resource for all Special Forces Operators, ranging from short summaries to detailed information, with worksheets, links, and important tips for nutrition at home and when in theater.
The demands imposed by Special Operations Forces (SOF) training and missions are unlike any athletic endeavor. Success requires the mustering of all strength and endurance—both physical and mental. SOF are “Warrior Athletes,” the ultimate athlete, at the top of the athletic pyramid. One factor that will contribute to mission success and lifelong health is good nutrition. It is well known that appropriate nutritional habits and interventions can enhance performance, and these successful approaches need to be known.
The physical and mental demands imposed by SOF training and missions require appropriate nutritional habits and interventions so that, under the most rigorous conditions, performance is optimized, and health is preserved.
This SOF Nutrition Guide evolved into the final product after multiple conversations, discussions, and interactions with SOF individuals and teams, and many other interested parties. The Guide is dense, but each chapter starts with key information, and an executive summary provides a “shortened” version.

• Chapters 2 through 4 provide general background information about energy expenditure, source of energy, essential nutrients and nutrition concepts. These are the backbone of the guide.

• Chapters 5 through 8 will help you select a healthy diet: they contain menus for eating at home, menus for eating in ethnic and fast food restaurants, choosing healthy snacks, selecting appropriate military rations, and combining commercial-off-the-shelf products with military rations.

• Chapters 9 through 13 review important information on being a warrior athlete. Detailed information and websites that discuss dietary supplements, combat rations and products to be avoided are also provided.

• Chapters 14 and 15 explore nutritional strategies for various missions, how to optimize nutritional intake to combat challenging environmental and physiological conditions, and how to eat on the local economy when deployed.

• Chapter 16 discusses nutritional strategies to regain pre-deployment health and fitness after returning home from extended deployments.

• Chapters 17 and 18 provide information on how to be a SOF “warrior athlete” for 20+ years and what the “high mileage” SOF warrior athlete should consider in order to maintain operational readiness and good health after years of physical abuse.
