Diet and lifestyle before CAA Class 1 Medical...

Hey All,

I think im going to save up for my class 1 now before I do anything else post-PPL. Just so i know I can pursue a career as a commercial airline pilot from a medical standpoint. I already have a Class 2 which I passed without any problems whatsoever.

I read in one of my commercial pilot books that you should change your diet and how you eat, exercise etc at least one month before the class 1. Is this something that everyone has done? i.e. eat healthy foods and go jogging/ cycling for 8 miles a day, everyday. I'm quite a thin guy and my BMI is normal however i will admit i have been eating an awful lot of junk over the last few months! I'm pretty certain this would be reflected in blood/pee tests carried out on me and obviously i want the best chance of passing the medical.

Hope to hear your views

Lewis
