Boot Camp Cuisine - 6 Small Meals

carrot sticks with dipsWhen I signed up for fitness boot camp, I had no idea that I'd also be expected to follow a new eating regimen. Six am workouts sounded rigorous enough, but come to find out, this is about more than sit-ups, squats, and sprints. Alcohol, fried food, and sweets are all outlawed during the 30-day program, and we campers are to eat five to six small meals, each packing some protein and carbs, every day.

Everything in me rebels against depriving myself of any kind of gustatory pleasure, but it really wouldn't hurt to give my heart and liver a break from butter and booze. I do wonder, though, how well I will be able to stick to the 6 meal per day plan.

In theory, this is the part I like the most about the regimen. I can imagine that it would be much easier on the digestive system, and would also curb cravings to some degree. it just sounds so difficult to plan so many little menus. Just after noon on Day 2, I'm three meals in, wondering how I'll segment the other half of lunch and the two halves of dinner. Does anybody out there manage to stick to this kind of routine day after day? I'd love to hear about people's experiences of it.
