Exactly what you want to do. Sodium retains water, smaller meals throughout the day keeps your metabolism going....saunas and sauna suits are the worst way to go. Dehydrating yourself for a fight is unsafe. Your basically drying out your brain and the fluids around it.You will not take punches as well and can get seriously hurt. You need those fluids to absorb impact.Quote:

I started cutting 5 weeks ago, i was 96kg, now im 90kg, and I have maintained most of my muscle, not all of it, but most of it because it is naturally impossible to keep your muscle the same while cutting.
Ok ill make it quick and simple:
1) No Sugars ('simple carbohydrates'- e.g. juice, soft drinks/sodas, fruit cake, ice cream, pie, chocolate, flavoured milk. some fucked up protein bars etc), No Saturated Fats (fat on animals, mcdonalds, nearly everything in this world... just read the back of the food label and see if the SATURATED fat exceed 3-4 grams. Monosaturated Fat is healthy (e.g avocado, peanuts, other nuts etc).
2) GYM (weights) four days a week. Cardio on other days (so therefore its 3 days of cardio).
The type of cardio you should do is High Intensity Interval Training. In other words what that is fundamentally is when you sprint as hard as you can for 1 minute, and then walk at a very slow rate for 1 minute, and you just go back and forth for around 20-30 minutes, trust me you're probably thinking oh shit 30minutes is nothing...bro..you haven't seen hell until you do this ok
3) Dieting- Have Carbohydates and Protein in the 3 VERY IMPORTANT MEALS-
*BREAKFAST
*PRE-WORKOUT MEAL
*POST-WORKOUT MEAL
Have about 40-50 grams of carbohydrates each meal (COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES IN OTHER WORDS-- 3 slices of wholemeal bread/ nearly a cup of oats/ a can of beans/ etc.)
As for your protein---HAVE PROTEIN IN EVERY MEAL------ i say this because you need to maintain your muscle because you are training so hard therefore muscle needs to be broken down and rebuilt. So have 35-40 grams of protein in each of your meals ( 180 grams of tuna/ a big steak/ 2 chicken snitzels/ 6 egg whites+ 125grams of cottage cheese etc, those are just examples for your understanding, but realistically you can do anything if u know how to choose healthy food)
Lastly have 5-6 meals a day, so basically because youll be training nearly every day your diet will look like this:
MEAL 1 ----Breakfast: Carbs+ Protein+ Fruit
Meal 2---------------Protein+ Vegetables
Meal 3------Pre Workout Meal--- Carbs + Protein + Vegetables
Meal 4------Post Workout Meal--- Carbs + Protein + Vegatables
Meal 5---------------Protein + Vegetables
Meal 6---------------Protein + a handful of nuts
Ay also, if you are a late trainer, and you are worried because you just had your post workout meal and it contains carbs and then you want to sleep, personally i think its best if you go to bed after an hour of your food entering your body, because thats what im doing and im seeing results.
I can guarantee you this diet will work, because its all science, bro i've lost 6kg in 5 weeks, so it works. Optimal weightloss range is roughly losing a kilo each week, so dont go expecting some bullshit jenny craig or atkins bullshit where its like 'HEY IVE LOST 30KG IN 1 WEEK' hahah, because in the real healthy world..shit doesn't work like that, unless something dangerous is gonna develop in your body soon.
Anyways good luck let me know if you take this on, and update me on your results after a month
you lost me at procrastinate, sorry.
Not doing any procrastinating, and got my weight exactly where I want it.
stay fat? I'm 6'1" and at 153lb. That's roughly 69kg.
Thanks for playing tho.
Hi,
I used to be pretty obese and started putting on a lot of weight especially on my thighs and bottom in my late thirties. I started exercising as often as possible and also cut down on a lot of high calorie stuff. Unfortunately I hardly managed to lose any weight at all. I then recently read an article by a lady who claimed that she managed to lose nearly half of her weight using a particular weight loss product. I tried it out and it actually worked really well. Within 4 months I managed to shave off 65 pounds completely. The results were pretty amazing and I feel so much healthier and energetic now without having to carry all that extra weight around. You can read more about the lady's article at the link below
I Was Fat, Obese And Miserable
haha, wtf?!
Can ya all please stop spamming the godawn boxing weight thread?
:shakehead:
A quick note to thank most everyone's input. I got to the weight I needed for weigh in, and felt really great, especially after feuling up with a couple of meals and plenty of liquids after weigh in and before fight. I gained 6 lbs in 3 hrs haa. Weighed in at 153, was 159 right before jumping in the ring. (by yesterday when I got home I lost most of it and am now at 155 and increasing slowly)
The slow roughly pound a day drop came easily, with a lot of running, cardio based workouts and tailoring my diet based on limiting salts, carbs, but still having some pre workouts carbs. Focusing on eating fruits and veggies and a protein rich diet. Felt strong, albeit hungry going in, but overall, this was a great way to make weight to get a fight...and a safe one.
Thanks again. :)
When you're cutting weight before your next fight, take l-glutamine to deal with cravings. It'll help get rid of the feeling of "getting the munchies".

Anyway for your height i dont even know why the hell you would want to lose weight, you're lanky from the sounds of it even if u have a low body fat percentage. Why dont you just maintain your weight or move up in division?
If you read his original post it alluded to the fact that he had posted his predicament in another thread. Which was that he needed to drop down to 69 kg just to get a fight as his opponent bailed on him. Therefor in such a short period of time your techniques aren't the most effective/relevant.Quote:

lol try reading before you answer a thread and start calling someone fat and a procrastinator. Thanks goodness I am neither, for it would have been kind of offensive to a person maybe over weight.
This was a thread about making weight for a fight. Not a "please call me a fatass and lazy and that should help me stop stuffing my face with donuts!" thread.
:p
Sorry bout that salty, i just rushed through, :( lol, i didnt mean to sound like an arrogant prick hahaha, i just wanna help, even if i was saying it in a forcing way
LOL HAHAHA, i died laughing at the 'stop stuffing my face with donuts' comment. Ahh sorry man i was just rushin through the thread n gettin way ahead of myself.Quote:

good luck, sorry bout the stuff before!
ha it's okay dude, no biggie :)
less salt, slowly reducing water intake , probably best to cut the salt first
I believe this thread is the safest way not the most dangerous!Quote:
