I hate the word and think it’s a shame when people say ‘I am on a diet’. It feels like your missing out. If your ‘on’ a diet that means that there is a chance you can be ‘off’ the same diet. What we need to do it slight changes to our eating habits so we don’t feel like where on a typical diet. Here are five simple tips.
- Keep portions under control.
- Fill up on fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans. Limit simple carbs such as white bread, crisps, chocolate, cakes, pastries and sugary drinks.
- Replace saturated and trans fats with healthier fats such as nuts, seeds, olive and canola oil and avocados.
- Choose mostly lean proteins such as chicken, turkey, fish and low-fat cottage cheese over fatty red meats and cheeses.
- Drink plenty of water. The UK government recommendation states we should drink approximately 1.2 litres (6 to 8 glasses) I advise my fellow bootcamp members to try and drink near 2 litres if they have attend a circuit that day.

Simple carbohydrates are usually considered to be "bad" carbs, but these are those that have been processed and broken down before being put back together again in an unnatural way such as to produce a sweet product like chocolate.
