Top 3 Nutritional Weight Loss Tips | Boxing Nutrition

What's up guys! In this video I go over my top 3 nutritional weight loss tips. Disclaimer: I am not a doctor or a registered dietitian. I found these tips to be beneficial for me so I am sharing them with you. Please consult your physician before following any advice I give out in this video.

Context: This was a 9 week process. I had 2 fights scheduled in under 1 month so normally I diet about 5-6 weeks for a fight but since I had back to back fights the training camp continued along with the diet. I had to make some minor adjustments along the way in order to make the weight (which I did fairly comfortably)

At the start of the diet I was hovering 150+ pounds. Some day's I would wake up heavy at 153 and other days lower at 148 but the range stayed the same until I really dialed in and monitored my nutrition. I was able to comfortably lose 15 pounds over the course of 8 weeks and the last week is where I really pushed and was less comfortable (that's the usual case with most combat or weight category sports)

In this video I share my TOP 3 Nutritional Weight Loss tips:
#1 Have Protein With Every Meal - Protein is the most satiating macronutrient meaning it'll keep you fuller longer it is also going to minimize the loss of lean body mass which is what you want! Theres no real point in losing weight if most of your weight is coming from lean body mass.

#2 Have 1 Large Salad a Day- Vegetables and Salads are also very satiating and the beauty about them is that you can eat so many of them for very few calories. On top of that the are full or phyto and micronutrients that will keep you strong and healthy and lessen the chance of any deficiency. Make sure to add in a good protein source along with some healthy fat the slow down the digestion to keep you fuller for longer!

#3 Don't Drink Your Calories- It is so easy to drink calories and in fact they hardly provide any satiety. I keep repeating the word satiety because that is key in any weight loss program. Eventually you will have hunger pangs but the goal is to minimize the suffering from a diet. I find that drinking calories does not help at all the only exception is Whey Protein and even then I like to mix my whey protein with oatmeal and make it part of a meal.

YOU CAN'T OUTWORK A BAD DIET. It is so much easier to eat 500 calories than to burn 500 calories from exercise. Most people tend to underestimate the calories consumed and overestimate the calories burned through exercise.
