How to cut weight effectively

Cutting weight for a fight or wrestling match can be hard unless you have a good plan you can stick with.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• Sweatpants
• Defication
• Running shoes

1. About a month away from your fight begin running daily. 1-2 miles a day to start. If you can't fit in a run then jumping rope for a half hour or so will work. Also try to eat as healthy as possible, lots of greens, proteins, and whole grains.
2. Increase your running by a mile a day around 2 weeks out. Also start cutting back on your food portions. Cut back as much as possible while still keeping strength up.
3. One week out you should be within 5-10 pounds from your goal weight. Only drink water at this point. Try to eat more leafy greens and fruits than anything.
4. The day of weigh ins you should be within 5 pounds of weight. Get up have something high in protein and as little water as possible. Dress in layers. Garbage bags and sweatpants will help sufficiently create enough sweat. Running about 3-4 miles and jumping rope will help you cut the last few pounds. Right after weigh ins be sure to eat something with plenty of carbs and protein to help rebound your body.
