I'm unfit. a little overweight. bmi 28. i have the chance to go on a military survival 2 week camp: limited calories and lots of exercise. is it safe?

Probably: By military survival camp, do you mean they drop you off in the wilderness and you have to survive for a set number of days? If so, consult your physician before embarking on such a program.
