I'm actually jumping on my binge eating bandwagon here 🍩🍔🍟, so if you reverse diet out of a fight, and you stay within 3-15% of your fight weight year round (depending on if you are pro or amateur), then this post probably isn't really for you.
For the rest of you, I just want to give you a little more motivation to start cutting sensibly, and then reverse dieting 'yo insane butts outta the ring/cage.
*Why Weight Loss CAN Be Toxic*
Any toxins that end up in our body - environmental and ingested - like sprays from foods, deodorant, car fumes, make-up, botox, flouride from your water, chemicals in food (like aspartame, colours, preservatives, trans fats etc), are either filtered or stored in your fat cells.
So fat cells, to be super simplistic about it, are toxin storage units.
When you lose weight, especially if you do it too quickly, those toxins become free throughout your body and can make you sick.
Binge eating creates more fat cells (storage units), and the food you are usually binging on is full of toxins, most of which your body will struggle to process.
So every time you go through a restrict-binge cycle, you are flooding your body with toxins. This is why it is SO important that you eat and live a healthy lifestyle.
MY JOB IS TO HELP YOU MAKE WEIGHT, BUT ALSO HELP YOU LIVE TO BE OLD ENOUGH TO TELL YOUR FIGHT STORIES TO YOUR GRANDCHILDREN!
So don't wait until it's 4 weeks from fight to tell me you need to lose weight, let's start as soon as possible. Let's get you strong, injury proof your training, and make a plan to make weight as safely and as healthy as possible, then come out the other side stronger and wiser!
DM me if you're ready to stop flooding your body with toxins.
