I got to fight in a month, How Do i lose 10 pounds this month?

[DA1CATAS]

ive done 10lbs in week, in a month it hould be no problem.

cut down on the food nd run more, wel talk again when theres a week left

and just how did you do this 10 pounds in 1 week.


and wouldn't you guys just think it would be easier to make your regular weight 5 pounds over your fight weight?

The above poster speaks with wisdom,after researching cutting weight I relised how many deaths have been caused by extreme attempts to cut weight.And i have made a solemen vow not to go up farther then 5 pounds of my weight class.

i can email you a whole plan if you like.

[nedcmk1]

i've done 6 lbs in a day.

cut from about 160 to 138 in two weeks.

cut from 148 to 138 in about 36 hours.

Do you ever feel drained or weakend by cutting so much weight.

[floydfan]

One question for everyone thats has ring experience for your first fight did you decide when you were ready to fight or did you just go with your trainers suggestion.The reason im asking is my trainer feels im ready but I dont and dont wanna look to imature in the ring (ie All my family and friends would be attending)

Super sorry for the thread high jack i just felt my question didnt need a whole thread by itself.

when i "cut" i always felt it. noone doesn't feel it. i cut to 138, my matches werent for over 6 hours, and probly walked onto the mat at 145 lbs. i felt good tho, but not 100%.

when i "trimmed" and followed a longer better diet plan i felt awesome at 138. but always had to cut 3 or 4 lbs, but that is cake and doesnt really affect me.

there is a book called "grapplers guide to sports nutrition" and it compeltely covers nutrition and dieting down. written by phd and md john berardi. the methods, and diets make sense and work great.

if you must cut do it right. do it wrong or too extreme and you risk kidney failure....

when i cut i always had clean diet for a few weeks, lean protein and steamed veggies. i always had a water jug in my hand. the week before.... 1.5 gallons a day. i couldnt take anymore in.

cutting sucks, but IF YOU MUST, this was my routine

now..... two days before, i cut all salt.


24 hours before cut ALL food and water.

Do one cut session before you go to sleep. (sweating it out with abolene and a sauna suit)

You will lose about 3-4 pounds.

You will lose about 2 over night pissing because of cutting the water.

Do another session in the Am depending on where your weight is when you wake.

Chill the rest of the day and you might just be 1 or 2 over and you will lose at least one of those throughout the day with small pisses and doing nothing.

At most you might need to do one more cutting session and start that 1.5 hours before weigh-ins and be ready 30 minutes early.

That is very do-able... But the way I like to throw punches constantly... that would hurt my stamina I'd think... Could be wrong though.. maybe I'd feel fine.

"That is very do-able... But the way I like to throw punches constantly... that would hurt my stamina I'd think... Could be wrong though.. maybe I'd feel fine."

it can crush you, but not stamina wise, at least not for me. some guys though get tired just walking to the mat.

when i cut it was for sub grappling matches.... i always had great stamina and speed... but lacked power. my takedowns in the gym would feel strong and hard and i wouldnt have issues generating explosive power.... after cutting sometimes i felt like i was "pushing" rather than exploding.


"ye i gotta cut 18 pounds but i got until january! how can i do it the proper way!"

easy with no cutting. post your email and i can send you some sample plans that do not involve cutting, and also how to properly put the weight back on if you want to.
