Boxing Weight Cut Meals | Fight Week
Ойын-сауық
Whats up guys finally had time to upload a video! I've been busy with school and training camp that I haven't had time to upload. Nutrition is key for a successful weight cut!
In this video, I show you some of the meals I like to eat during this weight cut period. THIS IS TEMPORARY AND NOT SUSTAINABLE. Making weight is part of the sport even if you are against it. is it safe? NO. But it will continue to happen regardless.
The goal of training camp besides skill and game plan development is a gradual decrease in body fat. This can be accomplished through a small calorie deficit but just enough to still feel strong during training. I am still learning and trying to figure out the best method for myself so far I have felt this has worked best. Try walking around no more than 12-13% (assuming you have a minimum of 6 weeks of training camp) above your weight class.
During fight week there are 3 variables to manipulate in order to drop weight quickly through water without physical exhaustion.
1) Eat low amounts of carbohydrates because they will retain water just keep in mind high intensity activity utilizes carbohydrates so you cannot be training intently during this time
2) Eat low sodium because it retains water, Sodium is essential and needed for proper muscular contraction, hydration, and many other cellular process beyond my knowledge at the moment but I know its important lol
3) Eat low fiber. Assuming you're eating a moderate amount of fiber, fiber will hold on to water and food content in your gut. During training camp eat lots of fiber to help with satiety, digestion, and health but during weight cut week cut the fiber to empty the GI tract.
Follow these three tips to aid in your weight loss during a boxing or MMA competition but keep in mind THIS IS TEMPORARY and you won't feel the greatest during this week.

That diet is exactly how my 74 year old mother lost 60 pounds. I eat that way during the week and have one junk day in the weekends. Excellent video!
Thanks for the information El Yuyu.I will be starting this 5 days out. Very informative and easy to follow. Glad it doesnt have to be boring foods to lose those last few pounds. Making my amateur debut prep easy!
Great video. Very informative thanks bro
About to go shopping for my weight cut week meals - my fight is next weekend. Thanks for the video it gave me some good ideas.
thank you for the tips. really informative and looking forward to my next fight week with a real plan😅
Great info and video. Thank you.
Thanks for the help bro appreciate the video
Having my first fight on a short notice. I’m 89kgs and need drop down to 83kgs. I used to eat One meal a day and it helped me lose a lot of weight. But now I feel like I hit a plateau where I can’t get any lower than 89kgs even when I’m training.. It always varies between 89kg - 91kgs. So I’ll start eating like this and train 2x a day. So wish me luck! Gonna get that work in!

Is it ok to take quality multi vitamins while on this diet ?
What about water intake for that last week?
Beard looking🔥
The training in the fight week plz can help me !!
Great stuff How much can you eat each day? How many calories I mean? How much protein should you take each day? just one example like you wanna cut down to 169 from 188 pounds in 5 days? Thank you !
What’s better calorie dense foods like peanut butter or high volume low calorie foods like vegetables? If I eat more peanut butter will I weigh less because it’s not as big as vegetables?
Maaaan that Greek yogurt is terrible. I’m cutting for a fight this week and that Greek yogurt tastes like spoiled milk lol
Hello El Yuyu, I got my weigh in Friday next week 10 days to be exact. I weigh around 129 at the moment and got to hit the scale at 115. You reckon its possible with water loading? Thank you for any advice.
@ElYuyuBoxing
Жыл бұрын
129 to 115 is a pretty big cut. Are you depleted at all? If you're fully topped off (glycogen, water, fiber, food content) then its likely doable but will suck. If you're already a bit depleted this will be hell! To answer you question, yes I would consider water loading!
@jsdanielboxing9287

Sorry I forgot to note that Im topped and walks around 129ish. I haven’t done any weight cutting yet and need to only cut 15lbs in 10 days. Do I still do my normal training routine during water loading days? Thanks heaps legend.

Bro, I'm 136. Gotta be at 132 and less in 2 weeks for my Muay Thai Fight. Thing is my knee is fucked so I can't train in the gym for now, but I still want to fight and should be okay by fight day. Can I swim, assault bike, etc instead?

As far as losing weight exercise plays a smaller role than diet. You can completely not train your sport and still drop the weight. If you're knee is really bad I would suggest you consider postponing the fight man!
What about fruit ?

Why should you have low fiber? I’d be under the impression you want higher fiber in your diet to digest the foid
@elcarloz7026

You don't even need fiber in your diet, it's an antinutrient. If consumed in high amounts it prevents the digestive system to fully absorb nutrients.
