My boxing friends are telling me to stay away form these foods. Is thsi true.

[Peter53088]

They said stay away form all bread.
Potatoes even sweet potatos.
Oatmeal.
Brown Rice.
Whole Grain Bread.
And then other people told me I won't get into shape as fast or get lean as fast if I don't eat six times a day.

Come on this can't be true these people got to be wrong. Saying to eat all vegetables. WTF?

[BrooklynBomber]

oatmeal
brown rice
and whole grain should be a staple of your diet. They are the best complex carbs around.

That **** is for people who need to lose a lot of weight immediately, but even then not if you're competing in anything at all.

[Exige Jr]

Eating six times a day, that is correct.

[Lilian001]

not really
those food can make us fat, but still can eat
if we eat more times a day, but less food, we can get into shape faster

[ForemanCrossArm]

actually, fruits are the best "complex" carbs around. And in order of goodness it's more like flat-bread (wheat), then oat meal, then higher-end wheat bread, brown rice, lower-end wheat bread.

stay away from "white foods" such as white rice, white breads, potatos.. Even sweet potatos.

Oat meal is shumbomb for you after a workout too, I need to start implementing that into my after-workout routine now that I've got a mircowave in my dorm room..
