    Most of the things listed that preclude one from the military are chronic conditions for which there's no quick fix, something that would be a hindrance in times of instability. But it's relatively much easier to quickly stop being high than it is to quickly lose a lot of weight, making it the tactical coolzone choice out of this list of chronic conditions you mostly don't actually choose.

    I guess the joke is that I'm metagaming instead of just having a problem

      Not in my experience. A few week-long rolling fasts are no problem compared to months of withdrawal and a lifetime of constantly tamping down cravings.
