diet while preparing for bootcamp

I'd recommend counting calories for starters. I try not to exceed 1600 calories throughout the day, so even with light workouts I wind up losing a few pounds a week.

Also, don't eat within four hours of sleeping. Have a salad with dinner, and skip the high-calorie ranch, go for an Italian or balsamic. I also try to skimp on excess carbs, so if I feel like a burger I'll just wrap it in lettuce.

I try to leave one cheat day where I allow myself some kind of sweet or salty snack. Most importantly though, don't go too overboard and try to eat like 800 calories a day because if you can't maintain the diet you'll just rebound back to where you started.
