Training/Nutrition Myths

[P4PKING_2008 :)]

seems like a good idea for a thread.

I'll throw out a few -
"eating a 'low fat' diet is healthy." - fact is, you need 15% fat. Just the way it goes.

"if you want to get in shape, eat less, exercise more." - this is a fatal combination. The more you train, the more you need to eat. If you're going to eat less, you might as well not train.

"red meat is unhealthy." - bull****. Every great fighter I know of ate or eats red meat. It's one of the most nutritious foods in the world.

"you should abstain from sex before a fight." - eat, sleep, ****, fight. There are some things you can't tell me not to do. I agree that staying out late could be a problem.

"soda is very bad for you." - I don't buy it. Don't have science to back it up, but I think it's bs. Some people say soda doesn't hydrate you, that is DEFINITELY bs.

"If you look fat you should lose weight." - bull****. People come in different shapes and sizes. Fedor is not cut, I highly doubt he's supposed to be any other shape than he is. Anyone seen the pictures of tony galento when he lost weight? Looked gross. Some people are supposed to be big.

"Never lose your temper in a fight." - This one's complicated. Certain styles don't lend themselves well to getting angry. Some do.

"Cutting weight will make you more competitive." - don't do it. Fighting at your natural weight has enormous advantages.

I would add another myth that cutting weight will make you more competitive. It won't. Fighting at your natural weight has enormous advantages.

Then why doesn't Guzman fight at 170, clottey at 170 then you dumbass. You know nothing about boxing.

Coke is full of **** that's a fact. No one can argue with me that coke is not full of ****, just read the ingredients on the can it's right in front of you!

Coke is sugar water, it's not bad for you. Drink your soda, train hard, you'll be fine.
