Q. Dan,

Before boot camp this morning I was going to have either an up and go or a piece of fruit about 30 minutes before training – any views?

A. Before training have a banana which is a good source of energy before training, bananas are quickly digested and have a high GI which means they’re broken down into sugar quickly.

Have the up and go after training or even better have a JP+ complete shake (made from plant protein). The carbs will replenish energy stores while the protein will help build lean muscle tissue.

Q. Dan is the sample nutrition plan you sent to us aimed at losing weight or maintaining? I’m aiming for the former.

A. The nutrition plan is for weight loss, multiply your bodyweight (in kilos) by 28 - this is the amount of calories you need to eat to maintain your current weight.

Take 20% off this number and you’ll cause a calorie deficit, meaning you’ll burn more calories than you consume and will therefore lose weight.

Add this to the training that you’re doing at our boot camp which is aimed at increasing lean muscle (muscle burns more calories than any other tissue).

Plus the high intensity cardio part of the boot camp program will increase your metabolism and therefore burn more calories and create an even higher calorie deficit so you’ll lose weight at a much quicker rate.

Remember to re-calculate your new calorie maintenance every week as your weight starts to decrease.

Train hard!
