Here are a couple of fruit facts/suggestions for you:

• Because fresh fruit contains water, it is great for filing you up with just a few calories. However, be aware, dried fruit has some of the water taken out which results in us consuming more which means more calories.  Don’t get me wrong, dried fruit is a healthy snack but you just need to ensure you eat it in moderation and favour fresh fruit whenever possible.  For instance, 1 cup of dried sweetened blueberries contains approximately 7 times the amount of calories that 1 cup of fresh blueberries contains.  
• Dried fruit is high in fibre and carbohydrates and has significant antioxidant value.   The best way to ensure you don’t over eat dried fruit is to put it in small size containers.
• Use frozen fruits, without added sugar, as a substitute for out of season fresh fruit.  Add some frozen berries to your breakfast cereal or fruit salad.

Hi Folks

Saturday’s boot camp will be held at L’ancresse.  Drive through the road opposite L’ancresse Lodge Hotel which is sign posted “L’ancresse” and “Kiosk”.  Follow the lane to the right and we shall meet in that car park.

Fingers crossed for good weather.  If I need to postpone the session then I will post on my blog. 

Don’t forget to dress appropriately for the conditions - with gloves, hat, waterproof.  Also bring some drink with you.  Thirsty work these boot camps.

See you Saturday.
