Introduction
Modifying the F45 diet may be simple for those who have a higher level of dietary skills or experience, but many are struggling to find answers.
About the author (Simon): For 4 years I worked as the head trainer at F45 Wollongong (NSW, Australia), at which time I was completing my nutrition degree at the University of Wollongong. F45 sold out Australia wide in only 4 years and is quickly becoming a global phenomenon! Whilst at Wollongong F45 I ran 20+ challenges, including nutrition seminars, personal nutrition consults and was constantly giving out nutrition advice to clients.
A frequent question client would ask is: “How can I modify the a F45 diet” but this question came in all shapes and sizes – thus this guide has been created!
This is your definitive guide to modifying the F45 diet from a F45 veteran and qualified university level nutritionist! Enjoy!
I am not officially affiliated to the F45 anymore. I do not make money off this post (unless you want me to be your nutrition coach) but rather I just hope to offer some clarity to those struggling whilst using the F45 eating plan. Enough said…
