The answers to a few of the questions that you may have!!

 1) Should I have breakfast before I do Bootcamp?

· This will vary from person to person. As a general recommendation I would suggest you try to do do Bootcamp on an empty stomach. The reason being is that you are more likely to burn more calories from fat after being asleep for several hours. If you eat first, you will have to burn the calories from the food consumed before you will start burning fat calories.

· In saying that, if after a few Bootcamps you feel ill or get light headed during the sessions, it will be best for you to have something light to eat about 30-40 mins prior to commencing Bootcamp (ie maybe a piece of wholemeal bread or a piece of fruit).

2) Do I really need to eat breakfast at all?

· YES YOU DO!!!

· Having breakfast helps get the metabolism going, & keeps you leaner

· You will be less likely to over indulge in the following meals.

 3) Should I minimize or cut out carbohydrates?

· No you should not cut out carbohydrates. Our body and brain require X amount of carbohydrates a day to function properly.

· What we do require and lack is portion control of carbohydrates.

4) Should I reduce Carbohydrates as the da goeys on?

· Yes you should consume more carbohydrates earlier in the day but not totally cut them out(portion control)

· Timing of our carbohydrates is very important. Try to focus the main intake of carbohydrates around your training time to replace glycogen stores.

Tips

 Always have a nutritious breakfast

· Don’t skip meals

· Eat 4-5 smaller meals, rather than 2 or 3 large ones

· Always watch portion sizes of all foods.

· Always consume a protein source at each meal as this will keep you feeling fuller for longer.

· Limit sugar intake. Your body can only consume 2 teaspoons at one sitting.

· Always choose wholemeal options of carbohydrates. Wholemeal has a lower Glycemic Index count, which means it will give you a sustained energy release for a longer period of time.

· When you get emotional, try to exercise rather than eat. You need to re train your sub conscious mind away from emotional eating(most people’s biggest downfall).

 Drink water continually throughout the day. Minimum of 2lt per day. Always be sure rehydrate after Bootcamp/exercise.

· Be consistent with your eating and training. A spasmodic approach will really slow down your progess.
