Boot camp
Boot camp "shapes up" people who are very young and whose bodies have a high tolerance for abuse. However, Pia is right: the lifestyle is very structured. The recruits don't have the option of sitting exhausted in front of their computer and snacking to compensate for the abuse, so they do lose weight. Is it good for them? Remember the landmark study back in the '50s on the coronary arteries on soldiers in their late teens? Found most of them had at least one artery 50% occluded or more. Weight is not the whole story...
