Nutritional Principles of LeBootCamp
No forbidden foods.
All foods are allowed. At the center of our philosophy is nutritional balance which is essential to maintaining your ideal weight in the long run. Banning foods leads to obsessive compulsive behaviour and frustration. It also promotes excess consumption of other foods, thereby causing the yo-yo effect (weight cycling). No food group is excluded in the LeBootCamp method. We're about a little bit of everything in moderation, and offsetting the effects of certain foods with "healthier" choices.
Body cleansing.
Our bodies are equipped to rid themselves of the toxins we ingest, produce, inhale or absorb. However, the combination of a sedentary lifestyle together with stress, pollution, junk food, pesticides etc. significantly raises our toxin levels, thus overwhelming our body's cleansing functions. This is why the LeBootCamp program begins with a Detox Phase to cleanse our system, followed up by one Turbo Detox Day (TDD) per week for the long term. A cleansed body paves the way for a slim body!
Sugar management.
We generally consume far too much pure sugar, and this is a primary cause in the rise of obesity. But, sugar isn't the only culprit: high glycemic index foods such as white flour products, refined cereals, processed foods, etc., also transform our bodies into fat-storing machines. Learn how to how to regulate your blood sugar levels by balancing your diet with more low glycemic index foods.
Alkaline balancing.
Your body pH represents the level of acidity in the body. Your body is composed of approximately 70% water; its ideal pH is 7, that of pure water. An acidic body is a tired and vulnerable body. An alkaline body is a healthy and energetic body. Restore your body's pH with our balanced recipes, and by incorporating alkalizing ingredients such as lemon juice, and limiting acidifying ones like red meat and cow dairy products.

Buckwheat, LeBootCamp's Flagship Food
Valerie Orsoni has recommended a gluten-free diet for many years, long before it became a widespread trend. Gluten is a protein found in many grains such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, spelt and kamut; it's role in baking is to provide elasticity to the dough. Studies show that limiting gluten coupled with a healthy balanced diet supports the detoxification of your digestive system and facilitates weight loss. Valerie herself is gluten-sensitive, and buckwheat has thus become the flagship food of the LeBootCamp method. Its extraordinary health virtues enable the body to naturally cleanse itself, thus promoting weight loss.
Sobacha is a tea made from the infusion of roasted buckwheat (also known as kasha). Reputed for its powerful antioxidant properties, buckwheat tea helps cleanse the body for more effective weight loss and supports ideal-weight maintenance.
