hi , I have my 3rd fight in just over 2 weeks and I needs to lose about 2-3 kg. I weigh around 71-72kg(155-157lbs) and need to get down to under 69kg(151). I weigh in on day of fight so want to cut as little as possible. I am dieting but finding it hard to lose weight as I have low body fat . I am about 6,'1. I will lose the weight regardless just seeing if you guys have any tips. thanks

Dehydrating yourself is not very smart. To lose weight you need to create a calorie deficit, in other words you need to burn more than what you take in. Cut back on desserts, sodas and other empty high calorie foods/beverages.
Running, both distance and sprints, will aid your fat loss goals along with the most underrated and overlooked factor:SLEEP!!

I always eat pretty good but now I am cutting out anything with fat/sugar. and watching the carbs a bit. for breakfast I might eats a bowl of oats. or 2 bits of toast with peanut butter. then I have a meal at 10 am which is a small turkey/ Salas wrap and a piece of fruit and yoghurt and maybe a couple of nuts. then at 1 I have through same again minus the yoghurt then for dinner I will have an omelette or some fish/chicken. and that's all I'm eating. plus Im drinking alot of green tea.
I'm training and doing cardio every day so hopefully I'll lose a couple of pounds in a week or two
