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".

the safest and effective way to cut weight is for you to do it now, do what you think you need to do to lower your weight, Never ask someone on what to do because 100% they would not know.

Sorry, but this makes little sense. We are a forum who shares thoughts and idea to come to proper conclusions. As you will find in this thread, and many like it...is that you will get a variety of ideas, and they don't always agree, but generally we can figure out good game plan by accepting what does work, rejecting what doesn't...and ultimately building a foundation for ourselves and others through experience and knowledge.

In my case, I needed to lose 1 lb a day for 1 week to make weight for a fight, and was looking for the safest way to do it. I met my goals, had my fight, with lots of energy and minimal risk, so basically it was a success for me.

Still, would like to see and hear others ideas, for all knowledge, good and bad...has it's place.
