Clean food -- raw veggies, raw fruit, lean meats, and water -- those are the healthiest **** you can put in your body. Add green tea and a multivitamin, and get up every morning and do your freakin' roadwork. I cut nearly 40 lbs. in 6 months without supplements; I boxed 3-4 times a week, lifted weights on the off days, and ran stairs every morning for an hour. The only supplement I took was whey protein, and a psyllium cleanse near the very end.
EDIT: During this time, my weight went from 205 to 165, my heart rate from 78 to 49, and my blood pressure and cholesterol dropped to the lowest they had ever been in the 15 years of records my doctor had on me. He was blown away, not just at the weight loss, but the conditioning. And I was 35.
I just said this in the steroid thread but it bears repeating so mods, excuse the cross-post:
The pain, hardship, and sacrifice you must endure to get into fighting shape will help prepare your mind and your spirit for what happens in the ring once you ARE in shape. And on that, getting into shape is the EASIEST part of boxing, for ****'s sake. So if you need shortcuts to get into shape, what the hell kind of boxer do you think you're gonna make? There are no shortcuts once you're in the ring.
Do it the hard way. You'll be a better fighter for it.
