Nutrionists: Are they good for boxing?

[Dirt E Gomez]

The only thing I don't understand is that how he likes to compare himself to a pro boxer with his diet etc and how it helps or hurts him in a big fight.

I'll respond to that, sure.

How does my situation very from a boxer's in a physiological sense? Does getting punched in the ring effect the manner in which we digest food suddenly? Do boxers, at some early age, have some strange operation preformed on them that changes their physiological nature so that diets no long effect them?

Physically absloutely not. Mentally absolutely yes.

Whoa. stop the presses. Eating healthy is better than eating poorly.
Holy **** that's on the level of the Manhattan project.

And you have the nerve to call people ******.

That's the point though... how do you not get this.

It's the basic fact of the argument. Eating healthy is better for your body. If you believe this to be a fact (which you clearly do) then you can't say nutritionists are bad for boxers. All they do is determine the best way to consume the right types of foods that you need to stay healthy with whatever goal you're oriented at.

My response is what I stated earlier than. If a fighter is some weak minded piss-ant who can't handle a change in his diet when he steps in the ring then it's not the nutritionist's fault... it's the idiot who hired him.

Wreck, he might know what a nutrionist can do, but he does not know how it can affect a boxer losing weight in a few weeks. He won't ever know. This is why every boxer does not need a nutritionist and why most boxers say they felt weak during and after a fight. He is just spewing "eating right can only benefit you" lol.

This ranks up there with some of the dumbest thoughts ever encountered on a message board. lol

You make a post earlier in this thread about you eating Big Macs before a fight helped you win and you have the audacity to quote what I did as the dumbest thing you've read?

I am on board with that. The problem is boxing is that they are used many times for a cure-all for people who have no business being at a certain weight or are severely affected mentally and thus it's like a psychosomatic thing which manifests itself physically during the fight. They are brought on to achieve things they can't possibly hope to achieve, and it's not their fault. Nutritionist aren't bad, if they are employed earlier in a boxer's career not later as in the aforementioned cases .

It just seems like they are always brought on too late.

At any rate, I am done with this thread as well.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

I seriously don't know how I can make this more clear...

If a boxer is losing a bunch of weight in any time span, how is eating healthy not wiser than eating poorly to do so?

People play their own nutritionist all the time. When a boxer feels he has to suddenly crash diet and lose a **** ton of weight in a hurry so he chooses to only eat a tiny bit of food each day... how does he choose that food? If he's smart he'd take a food that he knows to be healthy, not a pound of chocolate.

The only difference is a nutritionist isn't guessing what is healthy. They know and recommend what would be best to reach your goal, whatever that may be. But they're not miracle workers. If you give them a goal that is not realistic they you can't expect results that are life changing or miraculous.
