I train MMA Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday so I have mince which have a bit of fat in them (still extra lean so as little as possible) but on days I don't train I eat salmon, however I still do the cardio every morning.

[Predator]

looks fine to me mate

Stay off the junk and it looks like you'll hit your 2kg with ease :)

I personally can never do those types of boring diets. They make me depressed lol.

Blinkin eck mate!! Didn't I send you a diet??!! Don't get too stressed mate, you've got plenty of time. But if you're gonna do a diet, do it. Don't just do part of it, ask for suggestions and keep choppin and changin mate. honestly, try the diet I gave you. At least try cuttin out the milk and the mince if not.

[Excel]

Fuckin' hell mate, you sure like your tuna, lol!

Seems alright although If it were me I'd mix it up a bit, say replace some of the tuna tins with salmon, or Trout and have rice or Veg with each one. I'd also put the tuna in pasta n mix with chopped tomatoes or something, make it a bit more interesting. Could also add Steak and Potatoes to replace one of the mince nights.

[MMAlien]

Do the slimming world diet, be like me!

[qixing]

I guess its ok.Im sure you'l lose weight, its not healthy though?But I suppose severe weight cutting isnt a healthy thing to do. You need to ensure you get full recovery benefits from your food, post training, or you'l hit the wall and burn out.

[qixing]

Oh yeah Rice cakes suck aswell!! White carbs in it!!next to no nutritional benefit from them.you'd be better having a slice of wholemeal/granery brown bread I reakon?

[Nak-Muay]

Stapes, that pretty much is the diet you set me, I just mixed a few bits around. I love mince so much ;) But yeah, I will be cutting them out at the 4 weeks to go point, it is just I hate whey in water so have mince as a big protein source at night... I may change it for chicken brest or sommit.

hmm, the rice cakes I have are brown rice, so I guess they are alright... they are more for when you think "I need to eat" and you eat, but rather than a 300 calorie mars bar or 250 calorie sandwich you are eating a 17 calorie rice cake you know?

and I have dropped the milk out of the oats in the morning... that sucks though, horrible watery porridge in the morning, ick. Still having milk in my cups of tea though ;)

[Nak-Muay]

I feel really strong and healthy right now though, the weight loss so far (2KG) has made me slightly faster and the extra cardio is deffinetly working. I think my performance at training last night was my best to date, I feel tierd etc before I start training, but my mentality to train usually over takes any pain / teirdness I feel...

[Rob Hannis]

What whey are you having with water? I drink it with water all the time and it's fine.

Get yourself some optimum nutrition gold standard whey. It's really good, mixes no lumps and tastes great.

Fecking horrid Holland and Barrats shite.

Where would you suggest I get it from and what flavour would you recommend?

[Rob Hannis]

http://monstersupplements.com/store/p/447/1/Optimum-Nutrition-100-WHEY-PROTEIN-5lb-+-FREE-SHAKER!.html

Try that or a search on google, I have the strayberry as it's normally the safest flavour to go for.

Had holland and barratt soy protein once, threw it out!

[daspecimen]

that holland and barrett crap brings back memories.

Now i use (i think its) maximusle, with a scoop of nesquik in it so its not so harsh tasting. i have both chocolate and strawberry wheys.

good luck with the diet. i'm just starting to sketch mine out now

[CHESTER]

You need something pre bed.
Some form of slow release protien like
cottage cheese or caesin.
Should help your body repair whilst you sleep
mate ;)

why not buy cheaper, same quality, better tasting products???

[Total MMA-Iain]

Such as...?

(not being sarcastic)

[CHESTER]

Google MY PROTIEN.
Very cheap & good quality ;)

[theassasin]

chefs whey (see sports select) lush in porridge

dymatize (9 great flavours)

[Nak-Muay]

Hey, diet is going awesome. Now down to 67KG, which isn't bad at all considering I started at 70 only 3/4 weeks ago. 1 more KG to lose in 4 weeks :)

I have changed my diet SLIGHTLY, will post up what I am doing shortly... seems to keep me fuller longer and has more protein.

Have been looking for protein to mix with porridge so may try this Chefs whey stuff!

[Nak-Muay]

What is Caesin?

[Nak-Muay]

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Breakfast
Bowl of Oats with Water - 200 calories
2 Egg Whites

Reason: Good carbs and fats from the oats. I just finished reading a fitness magazine which says never eat carbs alone, mix them with small amount of protein and they are less likely to turn to fat (other reasons to I can't rememeber!).

Lunch
Apple - 64 calories
Can of Tuna (130g) - 130 Calories

Reason: Decent amount of protein with little fat in the tuna. Decent amiunt of carbs in the apple, which have a very low GI to keep me full until my next meal (usually 3-4 hours time).

Dinner
125g Salmon - 180 calories
Peas - 70 calories

Reason: Fair amount of carbs and Protein, pretty much no fats at all and is a decent meal to eat at about 6pm 1/2 hours before I train.

Supper
3 Rice Cakes - 51 calories
125g Chicken - 180 Calories
Peas - 70 calories

Reason: Again high in protein, a small amount of carbs in the rice cakes, none of which sugar, very little fat, should help to keep me full for the night.

After Training:
Scoop of whey in water - 90 calories?

Reason: You know this by now... ;)

Water: Added an extra 1.5 litres, so now drinking about 3 litres maybe a little more a day. Was reading that water keeps your hunger down and metabilism up... can't be bad :)

My 'plan' is to lose about 1.5KG over the next 2/3 weeks and then my final week I can relax and eat properly with carbs. I would be 65.5KG a week before my fight, allowing me to eat well on the week upto and the day of my fight. This latest diet has more protein in and a better variety as someone suggested. Still trying to find a carb source I like, but right now my energy isn't too low, when it does drop I'll just have another bowl of porridge about 2/3 hours ;)

[Nak-Muay]

Out of rice cakes =P Diet is pretty good today, had a wheat roll to make up a few carbs as felt a little tired today!

Breakfast
Bowl of Oats with Water - 200 calories
2 Egg Whites - 34 calories

Lunch
Apple - 64 calories
Chicken Wheat Roll - 300 Calories

Dinner
100g chicken - 111 calories

Supper
125g Chicken - 180 Calories
200g Green Beans - 50 calories

Probably have some salmon or tuna after training with some brown rice.

[SuntanSuperman]

your going through all that for the sake of 1.5kg? think you are goin way OTT!!!!!

Just jump in the sauna

[Tomatohead]

when is it your fightin, even anorrexics eat more than that!! i can shit about that much just jump in the sauna take some good diuretics should piss droppin that weight or go gabe get a pipe shoved up your ass

[Tomatohead]

What is Caesin?

Casein is milk protein slow release so ideal for before bed.

[Nak-Muay]

haha, well I am only like 66KG, so my intake on a normal day is only about 2000 calories or less, at the moment I am aiming for around 1500 calories a day. I won't eat a great deal today as I am skipping dinner due to being at work, then going MMA and won't be home until 10pm. So today is my eat bugger all day really =P As I said on top of that will probably be a tin of tuna & whey.

Casein where can you get it from and is it expemsive? So you fix it with water or what? Sorry not heard of powdered milk before :S

I fight on June 10th, my aim is to kick my ass down to 65.5KG by the 3rd and then have a week of normal eating leading up to the fight and try loading in carbs until I am dead on 66KG.

[Nak-Muay]

your going through all that for the sake of 1.5kg? think you are goin way OTT!!!!!

Just jump in the sauna

Don't really feel it man, all I have done is cut out the bread, potatoes, choclate, etc. Same day weigh in so fuck the sauna, lol.

[Tomatohead]

casein is quite pricey but not quite powdered milk lol! I do it relatively cheap but im in nottingham and it aint on the site. I really wouldnt count calories if you dont need 2 cut massive amounts eating little and often should just be the way 2 go with that. you'll be able to cut the difference in fluids.

[Nak-Muay]

Yeah, I have a feeling my weight is below 67 at moment, but I am drinking 3 - 4 litres of water a day so I get the water weight added on, week before my fight I am going to ease off the training and go back to the normal 2 litres a day and hopefully that will give me some added -KG.

I am not really OTT about my diet, it is just if I get this weight of I can have a good healthy week leading up to my fight where I can store some decent carbs, rather than a dieting week leading up to my fight.

[Tomatohead]

id keep on with the water keeps a good kidney function and helps prevent your body from retaining water.

[SuntanSuperman]

i think you are taking this way too seriously and goin way over board mate
you can cut what you need to on the morning of the fight and have pleanty of time to rehydrate - its fuck all

[Nak-Muay]

Weigh in is at 4:00pm, fight is at 8:00pm, I don't personally think I can re-hydrate in 4 hours.

[SuntanSuperman]

your talking 1kg

[Nak-Muay]

Still, I don't fancy spending the morning of my first fight in a sauna and eating fuck all. I would prefer to spend it relaxing / reading whilst eating some pasta / potatoe.

[Tomatohead]

piece of piss just get a good electrolyte plus and suntan said its 1kg ffs

[Nak-Muay]

lol. Well as long as I weigh in for my fight and am healthy / full of energy I don't care. I am sticking with what I am doing.

[SuntanSuperman]

your under eating now - you wont be able to train as effectively as you could on a good diet and your putting your focus in the wrong place - becasue your trying to act like a pro fighter and do what they do


get things into perspective mate

[Tomatohead]

I'm not trying to tell you what to do just giving my opinion based on what yoiu have told me and what i know about nutrtion. but if your undereating your body wont be prep'd and you could well get your arse handed to you, but i hope that doesnt happen. good luck

[Nak-Muay]

Ate the same for my last fight and went two fights one after the other, second guy was fresh and won both (first by KO, second by tap out). Doubtful 'I will get my ass handed to me'. I appriciate the advice, but suggesting getting in a sauna the morning I am due to fight doesn't appeal to me, when I get out of a sauna I usually feel groggy and ill for a couple of hours as it is, so I think I will avoid that if possible.

I have been training just as hard as I usually train and then some over the last few weeks... dieting is just an addition, hasn't really affected my training at all.

[Tomatohead]

up2 you mate best of luck anyhow.

[Nak-Muay]

Thanks for the advice anyways, I took some of it onboard, just don't like the sauna idea.

[Tomatohead]

Wish I could order some, but my card is currently un-useable... without giving too much of a sob story... some Spanish guy stole my mobile phone with my contract sim in it. I phoned O2 and they told me they would sort it out... two days ago my bill comes through £390.00 =( So not only have I bought a new phone, my bank account is now suffering as I had a £390.00 withdrawal I didn't know was coming and have also now been charged £40.00 for an unauthorised overdraft... spect it will be a little while till I can buy sups... I will deffinetly give them a go when my account gets sorted though =(
