Thoughts on this diet?
>>76721147Needs more veggies and fruit
>>76721169Why?
>>76721169Forage.>>76721178Taste good.
>>76721178It just does, okay?!
>>76721169>>76721205Vegetables don’t taste good you crippled retard. And it’s military rations, so the food can’t have high water content
>>76721147>pobad>pound of beef a daylet's fuckkin go
>>76721147>Thoughts on this diet?80% of this would be turned into a stew and the bread eaten on the side
>>76721147Plugged it in. Cool protein and carbs, but man pretty rough on the vitamins. Also way more calories than I thought it would be. A pound and a half of bread and 5 pints of beer is a lot
>>76721276well when you march all day you burn a lot of calories thats in fact a deficit more than likely but you want to be smaller to cover more distance easier so ye
>>76721147Per day? That's a feast.
>>76721276Freaky bulking diet
>>76721147>5 pints of beermake it a gallon already.
>>76721147Guessing the logic behind the beer is that its full of carbs so they can use it as fuel to fight provided they don't get shitfaced?
>>76721334Small beer was basically water. It was drunk because it was safe to drink compared to water sources.
>>76721276Many people throughout history have lived long-term on diets of bread and beef. The fat soluble vitamins are memes. Grant Genereux already proved vitamin A is not needed, and also vitamin C is not needed.Ray Peat proved vitamin E is not needed.
>>76721276It was probably hard crusty bread which had more nutrients going for it than our white bread which was a delicacy back then.
>>76721147The quality wouldn't have been this high. For one, the beef would've been cheap bony cuts, and the bread wouldn't be this nice fluffy stuff.
>>76721147Gluten overload. Imagine the bloating.
>>76721276>5 pints of beer is a lotI would consider that "just getting started"I hate myself like you wouldn't believe
>>76721331>>76721382Just tell the quarter master to leave the pitcher when he gets to you.
>>76721366breadmaxxing was a totally viable strategy before formula babies and glyphosate
>>76721147>>then show be their bodiesno need, inflated bellies and hank ass
>>76721382>just getting started
>>76721147what a comically small piece of cheese
>>76721147Looks pretty kino actually, but what's the point of that tiny meme rice portion
>>76721276When they mention beef I heavily doubt that it is our understanding of beef but will include the organs as well.
>>76721366you don't have a gluten problem. You have a problem with processed-food Lovecraftian horrors wearing a bread skinsuit. American bread is the Beyond Meat of breads. Wellington's soldiers got real bread.
>>76721147>small beerthat is quite a large amount of beer actuallyAlso you will get scurvy
>>76721619>tiny meme rice portionthat's what they had, that's what they gave
>>76721382Their beer probably was also far more nutritious than our modern "beer"
>>76721350>Small beer was basically water. It was drunk because it was safe to drink compared to water sources.Why didn't they simply boil water to make it safe to drink? That's a lot less work than brewing beer
>>76721231>reading comprehension
>>76721231
>>76721366Not everyone is gluten intolerant
>>76721231>Vegetables don’t taste good you crippled retard.works on my machine, sorry you got stuck with toddler palate
>>76721382>>76721819it's small beer, it's 1-2%>>76721276often times in war historically you won't get your rations or won't get your full rations, so it's more like the best case scenario. then there's a lot of marching and i would guess often various kinds of labor
>>76721278>>76721892Being a soldier during this era really was just 99% of brutal marching and 1% actual fighting.
>>76721847Small beer was a sure thing when you couldn't count on being around a good source of water and having the time to boil it.
>>76721847People at that time in that part of the world didn't know that boiling water made it safe to drink
>>76721147That's actually fucking really good ration for the time what the hell.
>>76721147>>76721967for me it's the american g.i. ww1 diet
>>76721927>couldn't count on having the time to boil itThat doesn't really make sense to me. Brewing beer takes much longer than boiling water for a few minutes. You could then simply bring the clean water with you, just like you also would have to do with the beer.
>>76721147Are you supposed to throw that sad amount of rice into your pea and beef pottage?
>>76722031Jesus H Barnum and Bailey bitch tits Christ. I would joined the military if they still got stuff like this. Fucking awesome food both in quantity and quality.
>>76722052Yeah that's Napoleonic war times, those mother fuckers weren't doing nighttime operations, they might have had to do security patrols or something but they probably had a solid 8+ hours of time to sleep, cook, etc.
>>76722031Dark bread (whole grains) is actually much healthier than white bread (refined carbs)
>>76721147What's the point of the rice?
>>76722064Speed was a major advantage in warfare, so napoleonic armies were often competing in foot races with each other to gain an advantage. These forced marches could last weeks without any real breaks and cover vast distances. And if your army was marching through hostile territory, falling behind the main body of your army often meant death. So on campaign you usually didn't have much time to fuck around in your camp. Of course it all depends, some units would just chill in camps or garrison a city for months without any action.
>>76722083Fills your stomach and simple carbs
>>76721147"God that's terrible">Daily*sweats in third world country*So how about that time machine, science based lifters?I bet they fermented stolen or brought milk between buddies and foraged around, too. Those lucky fucks.
>>76721276You need the extra calories and the water from the beerWater is quite important to meI assume they liked it too
>>76722067wah wah wahcoping broke ass
>>76722052It's mostly supply trains. They're not brewing beer at camp.
>>76721967Turns out men at that time didn't settle for utter slop and would refuse to fight if abused.
>>76721276It's almost as if they fed pawns the bare minimum to keep them full and didn't give a shit if they got malnourished
>>76721147they were just ahead of the times
>>76721847It needs to keep in barrels.
>>76722535Thats 4 lbs...
>>76722535>3lbs diet>is more than 3lbs
>>76721231A lot of vegetables are delicious and not even a complicated flavor. Peas are delicious. How mentally ill are you?
>>76721366Get filtered, faggot
>>76722450Coping retard. High quality whole grain is more expensive.
>>76722635u prolly german on here
>>76721231Man, if only we had the technology to remove the water content from high water foods.I bet that'd help preserve them for long trips and stop spoilage.But a man can only dream I guess.
>>76721276the ABV of the beer was almost certainly lower
>>76721178This.I haven't eaten a vegetable in years and I feel amazing, I'm healthier than 90% of people (not that that's saying much nowadays but still)
>>76721147that cheese feels more symbolic than anything
>>76721231>Vegetables don’t taste goodyee fucking haw you obese american faggot
>>76722685>Wellington's army during the Peninsular War>>76721926>Being a soldier prior to 1900 really was just 99% of brutal marching/digging and 1% actual fighting.Ftfy
they drank low alcohol beer because the alcohol keeps it safe to drink
>>76723049>Wellington's army during the Peninsular WarNobody restricted the discussion to foods/technology available and suitable for soldiers back then during the war. OP asked for thoughts on this diet.
>>76721382
>>76723124The question is inherently geared towards the means and methods available during that war by the way in which it was presented.And the retarded child you replied to explicitly stated "its military rations" meaning he clearly was not talking from the perspective of adapting it to his current day usage but the discussion of it as a period topic and what it actually meant to the soldiers/supply officers back then.They couldn't dehydrate and store broccoli or what have you en masse back then for campaign usage even if they grew enough of it.
>>76722635Not back then. Many cheap things back then are considered high class today. That’s how it works. In one era a tan means you’re a laborer, the next it means you’re affluent.
>>76721147That's a fairly small amount of food for an average- sized soldier, I'd say? The main reason it's called a ration is it's "rationed" so there isn't much of it to go around, they give every soldier the minimum amount for the day. I wouldn't WANT to eat a double helping of bread in that timeframe, but I could easily.
>>76723148>The question is inherently geared towards the means and methods available during that war by the way in which it was presented.It's not.>And the retarded child you replied to explicitly stated "its military rations"No. The "military rations" argument was made up as a gotcha against vegetables. At no point did anyone show interest in optimizing their diet while limiting themselves to the means of a Wellington soldier during the peninsular war.So even if you have to limit yourself to army food during deployment in an active war, you have access to modern technology
>>76721361Lived or lived well?
>>76723049They used the sun or an oven to dry out fruit you stupid nigger.
>>76722067Swarthy Euroid hands typed this post. 2 world wars won on white bread and 1911s, let me guess, you need more?
>>76722922Sure you are. People who say this kind of stuff or hate on fruit or vegetables or claim that they're top of their class or better than other people in some metric never post their body - when they do it's some random photo they got from Instagram with no timestamp I don't know why people come on here and actively lie while posting anonymously
>>76722685The peninsular war was in 1808. The technology to mass dehydrate fruits and vegetables came about in the 1960s.
>>76721366Weird how 99.9999% of the population, peasant and royalty alike, ate bread for most of human history and nobody had a problem until recently then.
>>76722535Weird to see you back spamming this nonsense again after taking a year off.
>>76721231>Vegetables don’t taste goodButternut squash is divine. Carrots and broccoli are amazing simply roasted. An bad tasting Allium does not exist. Sweetcorn, tomatoes, and peppers are fucking awesome. Nothing I listed _needs_ herbs and spices but they're obviously always welcome, and will make less flavoursome vegetables delicious.99% of your ancestors would've defected to another country/tribe for a basket full of the food you turn your nose up at, eat some vegetables you contrarian neckbeard
>>76723757Butternut squash is a gourd
>>76721147>Thoughts on this diet?Stew/soup & bread is unfathomably awesome.
>>76721147this is basically my diet
>>76723792Gourd ma balls kek
>>76721147Looks like bloody soldiering
>>76723174Well memed anon
>>76722052Clean water has to be kept clean and kept in perfectly clean containers, in perfectly sanitary conditions. This was no joke, people died from unsanitary water very frequently in the past. Even a small amount of alcohol just kills all the bad shit in the water.
>>76721169No it doesn't
>>76725646Fat people aren't allowed opinions
>>76722067True but when you are burning that much calories might as well eat white bread and straight sugar
>>76723757super super weird projection? my ancestors actually raped and killed yours because you're a literal mud-dweller lmfao
>>76726367Your ancestors and family are all pedophiles ketoschizo
>>76725619>Even a small amount of alcohol just kills all the bad shit in the waterdon't think this is true. small beer was like 1%, that's not purifying shit
>>76721169I'll trade you my rice and lentils for your bread, veggie broThat's not an offer btw it's a demand
>>76723049>>76723268Oh fuck I didn't know they didn't have the sun pre-1808.Hey, how do you think they dried the peas and rice, numb nuts.
>>76721847>start a fire everytime u gotta drinknaw
Listen to this while you prepare meal to remind you your dishwashers broken.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr_my17s6_g
>>76723271Galen wrote of celiac symptoms, they just died young but not all of the family got it since it comes from a series of recessive genes.
>>76726784Oh boy, one guy wrote about an extremely niche disease. You're proving my point.
>>76726578>>76723213Hey, how many fucking orchards do you think 1800s britain fucking had? How many packing plants? How much space to waste on drying racks? How many sunny fucking days you mongoloid? Peas are fucking easy to dehydrate en masse, not fuck up the taste, store and transport en masse, and rehydrate in camp stews.
>>76727047Fucking tons of it dude. They were THE global super power of the time and you think they didn't have th industry to feed their armies on 5 continents?
>>76721178He’s a homosexual
>>76721147hahahahagetting that much meat while in portugalno way every soldier was given that much meat/foodthat amount of food might be what was supposed to be given to soldiers, but i doubt they resceived all of thatbut yeah i think that diet doesnt look half bad, just boring
>>76721147How many calories is that?
>>76721147On paper, sure
>>76725619>>76726514There are antimicrobial compounds in hops. If they used hops at that time (earlier beers used different herbs for bittering but I forgot when the transition happened) then it was likely the hops, IPA was invented because well hopped beers could last the journey between Britain and India.
>>76723216based
>>76728182The OP shows they had the industry to feed themJust not feed them extraneous desserts as part of their everyday rations. You get your rum/beer ration, you bread, meat, peas, and and butter, and that's it because that's what's easiest to produce, store, and transport in the freezing cold, baking heat, and humid mud.
>>76726389considering that you're underdeveloped from no human food you're probably rightdo define pedophilia btw
