Are you sick and tired of seeing good fighters turn into “small, weak, wimpy” fighters because they try to cut weight but don’t do it right?
I also!!
I developed this system where I actually ate a good amount of food from 3 sources, and was able to drop about 10lbs (varies from person to person) in 3 days without reducing my strength and energy levels much.
Before we get into that, we need to clear something up…
I’m NOT telling anyone that they should lose weight… I’m simply giving them the system I developed because I had to lose weight myself and didn’t want to starve, dehydrate, sit in saunas, spit or take risks. more ‘water pills’… and I don’t want you to either.
Just do us both a favor first, and make sure you have a doctor’s ‘OK’ before you get involved in wrestling, weightlifting, or the nutritional stuff.
Ok, ’nuff said… let’s go to the first step in the course “How to lose 10 pounds in 3 days”…
Top 3 Weight Loss Foods to Lose Weight Fast!
For years I have been working with wrestlers and trainers who ‘see the light’ and begin to implement better strategies for ultimate success on the wrestling mat.
If you need to lose weight fast for wrestling and don’t have a lot of time to do it, the normal routine for most wrestlers is to eat very little or nothing…
You will never, ever be able to fight at your best if you don’t eat enough food to support the physical demands you place on your body when you fight.
You can’t just eat a lot after weighing yourself and expect to make up for half a week of hunger. Your body is smarter than that… it doesn’t like it when you deprive it of its energy source.
So what is the answer?
You need to eat foods that have a higher level of protein and fat with low levels of complex carbohydrates…
Protein is not stored in your body. When you’re losing weight, your body struggles to find enough energy to keep up. You can’t just use body fat for energy because you want to hold on to your fat and use your muscle for energy instead.
You ‘trick’ your body by giving you foods that are higher in protein and fat so you can eat smaller amounts but still have energy. It also gives you a better chance to recover quickly after the weigh-in.
Here are my favourites…
Ground Sirloin/Ground BuffaloWhatever is good.
I love these meats when trying to lose weight fast…they have so many benefits.
They are nutrient dense… This means you can eat less and it will keep you energized while reducing weight.
Contain Branched Chain Amino Acids When you are losing weight, your body will draw branched chain amino acids from your muscle cells for energy. This leaves you feeling weak and without energy. Eating these meats will help counteract this by providing more BCAAs.
Contains CLA for Fat Loss Conjugated Linoleic Acid is a fatty acid found in red meat and can aid in fat loss…a plus for anyone on a weight loss mission.
They contain Creatine The mineral ‘Creatine’ that is so talked about is found naturally in red meat. You’d have to eat a lot of red meat to match a single serving of creatine powder, but it’s definitely there. Creatine has strength benefits due to its muscle cell volumizing properties.
whole eggsOne of the biggest mistakes men make when trying to lose weight is consuming only egg whites. Egg whites are called albumin. Albumin is a protein-rich part of food and is absolutely necessary to help preserve muscle tissue when the body is looking for energy. However, you should also eat the yolks because this is where the fat is. This fat is essential when you are eating low levels of complex carbohydrates or calories.
Green Salad with Olive Oil Lettuce, green peppers, red peppers, broccoli, cucumber, mushrooms, and onions are good. The salad is eaten with meat to help digest it. Salads are loaded with minerals and fiber. Adding small amounts of olive oil will also help you regulate your hormone levels. Optimal hormone levels will also keep you stronger, leaner, and more energetic.
If I eat ground beef or buffalo with whole eggs and salad, I can lose up to 10 pounds in 36 hours.
(There are a few more things I do…but you’ll find out in the next 4 parts)
I do this for 4 meals a day and let my appetite dictate how much to eat. Monitor your weight daily and when your body uses up muscle glycogen (muscle energy) you will begin to lose weight rapidly. This is because each gram of glycogen holds 3 water molecules.
Be sure to try this when you ‘don’t count’. The last thing you want to do is experience how your body will react right before you need to gain weight. Try it for a day at another time and see what your body does. Then you’ll have a better idea when it really counts.
