Taping...ugh! : Which tapings are over reg? Taping is prehistoric, but habits are hard to break in the military. For muscle-bound guys that failed taping, I used to obtain %BF with BIA (bioelectric impedance analysis), now preferred over calipers. If you clearly meet PT standards & you don't look obese, the CMO may advocate for you. Meantime, no alcohol, soda or sugar; no food after 6pm; 50g protein/d & lots H2O

The night before: isn't when you need to start addressing the issue! It is now PFA time again. I see a # of people weekly for appetite suppression ear acupuncture in order for them to get within body fat standards. After 27 years in the Navy - I know how difficult it can be. But, there isn't a safe way to lose 4" in one night. You need to consistently make health a priority.
