The low Down on Healthy Nutrition
Always Start the day with Breakfast. It supports your metabolism and helps you burn fats, and keeps you full until lunchtime.
Avoid Saturated fats, trans fats and refined sugars - especially if eating out
Drink 8 glasses of water every day
Have 5 pieces of fruit and vegetables a day
Have a multivitamin supplement
Avoid red meats as much as possible, they have higher levels of fats and in some cases bovine growth hormone which helps us put weight on
Be careful with your alcohol intake, it has 7 calories per gram, compared to 4 cals per gram for protein and
carbohydrates. Fat has 9 cals per gram, and a large glass of wine has 8 teaspoons of sugar
Read Food labels carefully. 1 pound of fat is worth 3500 calories, and you can burn 500 calories an hour during bootcamp. So beware what you're replacing your bodies fuel reserves with after exercise. A bar of chocolate will mean you are where you started before exercising that day. Ask yourself what your priorities are and choose a healthier option like a banana or an apple
Grill food or cook in the oven or use a steamer - you will receive more of the nutrients than boiling or frying
Switch to a wholegrain / wholemeal way of healthy eating which will provide you with more fibre, and slower release energy to keep you fuller for longer, and aid in your digestion. More wholemeal rice, pasta and breads
Have a food intolerance test at a local healthfood shop if you're low on energy, tired after eating certain foods, or feel bloated. We don't actually need milk after the ae of 6 months, and a higher proportion of people are intolerant to wheat and gluten. Cutting these out on the advice of a qualified nutritionist will help you lose weight and tone up faster!
