Health and fitness. The science behind the nutrition

With around ten thousand medical and scientific papers covering nutrition published annually, it is not surprising we know more today about the various effects that foods have on our bodies than at any other time in history. 

In the UK alone the diet industry is estimated to be valued at approximately £10 billion, with diets ranging from the Atkins diet to the Zone diet; yet the global trend for overweight and obese populations, and the related complications that these conditions can cause such as diabetes and cancer, continues to grow at an alarming rate.

At BaseCamp we have applied the basic principles of nutritional science in the design of our menus.  Guided by our health and fitness nutritionist, our chef Dan has developed delicious meals that combine the correct ratios of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to provide you with all the energy and nutrients you’ll require to adequately fuel your muscles and ensure that your blood sugar levels remain stable throughout the day. 

In conjunction with the full exercise programme, the sensible eating plan will result in sustainable fat loss, an increase in resting metabolic rate and a reduction in girth measurements.

The ethos of BaseCamp’s menus is reinforced through informative, educational seminars on health and fitness that will dispel the many myths surrounding the range of fad diets that are so prevalent in the media today. 

Once you learn and follow the golden rules of healthy nutrition you will understand why fad diets are not conducive to sustainable fat loss and you will never have to experience yo-yo dieting again.
