How to lose fat whilst boxing?

[KrnxMan86]

I've been eating around 3500 calories for the past while, for lifting in the gym and also given my active lifestyle.
However, I have more fat around my belly and waist area than desired and it covers my abs.
Before I started boxing, I would always cut/lose fat by eating more protein and fats, and less calories and carbs.
Can you use the same method while boxing? I just don't want to risk losing muscle from having a high activity level and not enough calories.
Should I consume about 2000 calories per day and 220g protein to lose fat given my activity level?

I believe the answer is clenbuterol if you aren't enrolled in vada.

It's called HIIT, High Intensity Interval Training
I did a bit of that today and that is what I'm told by a very experienced P.T. is the best method on burning fat around the mid section and maintaining muscle mass.

An example of what I did today was
6 minute gradually warming up on the treadmill
After the warm up you should be ready for the HIIT
30 seconds on the treadmill sprinting, 30 seconds rest
repeat this 10 times to complete it

Then after that you could do some ab workouts to finish off your routine.

You should try doing this 2-3 times in the week.


Also be cautious with what you're eating it's all good taking the recommended cals in, but you need to make sure you're eating food that will digest easy that and maintain a balance don't go overboard with protein.
I think 220g of protein honestly is too much someone can correct me If I'm wrong, but I'd first need to know your weight.

Just remember an excess of anything will always lead to weight gain, balance is what you want.

A side note that I should have mentioned, you can do that HIIT section without the ab workout etc and just do it on its own say maybe first thing before you even do your boxing workout.
The high intensity I believe gets your body working and makes your body start to burn that fat, don't do the HIIT after a long workout because you will likely be destroying muscle mass at that point.

Keep working out Hard. I see so many guys come into my gym who just stand around and bs with eachother instead of ACtually working. I don't have time for that! I get in there, and I get it, hard. If i don't leave totally drenched in sweat then I didn't do enough. If you adopt that philosophy, you will lose weight. The harder you work, the more weight you will lose. Plain and simple.

Thanks for the HIIT tips.

Do I not need more protein than usual so as not to lose muscle and possibly build more while still training? What about 180g?

I don't know how hard you train, and how often, but doing boxing workouts and strength training for about an hour a day (time really doesn't matter as much as intensity - bomb squad made a good post about HIIT training which is very effective) you should easily be burning 500-800 calories a day..

You already said what to do in your first post - drop your caloric intake - and control your macros.

I also don't know your bodyweight, and height.

If you're around 6 foot/200 pounds, then 2800-3000 calories (with a macro ratio of about 20/30/50 fats/proteins/carbs) you should be dropping 2-3 pounds of actual body mass a week.

What weight are you wanting to maintain?
I think the intake of protein is gonna be different at certain points of time in example your protein, carbs, fats will surely all be at a lower percentage when you're trying to cut weight for a fight, but when you're in training you'll want to maintain a weight that isn't too far off making weight.

It's actually very easy.

• Increase your ice cold water intake. 40oz a day minimum. Ice cold water spikes metabolism and curbs hunger.
• Two cups of coffee - no sugar or sweetener - a day, every morning. Coffee curbs appetite in the morning and ignites it in the early evening.
• Eat a keto-focused breakfast 5 days a week: fully cooked eggs, butter, bacon, salt, coconut oil, etc. No breads, no sugars, no pancakes, no waffles, etc.
• Snack throughout the day - thin crisps or something. Something that doesn't fill you up. Goal is not to be full, goal is to keep energy levels up.
• For lunch focus on meals that are basic filling but not excessive. Turkey, pork, chicken, etc.
• For dinner, lean meats. But you probably already know that.

Supplement this type of diet with your regular boxing/training routine, and if you can afford it, consider Victor Conte's SNAC system to go along with. Especially Vitalyze which I can personally vouch for.

On the above, I can basically cut safely over a controlled period even without intense workout.

If you need a more aggressive cut - safe but should be discussed with your doctor - Paravar is more effective than SNAC. Personally used it, went from 197 down to 175 in a very short time with moderate workout.

It aint even gotta be complex brah.

Just restrict your overall caloric intake and mske sure your macros are something like 25/35/50 fats proteins carbs. Try staying at 2500 calories and see how much weight u lose after two weeks.

If you're not losing at least 2 to 3 pounds a week drop to 2200.

If you're losing more than 2 or 3 pounds but u feel lethargic and can't power thru ur workouts increase to 2800.

I can only lose weight at 1500 calories a day, or less. I used to be able to eat 3000-4000 calories and not gain an inch. No longer the case.
