Hello, real quickly, this is my first MMA (official) fight, doing NHB, supposed to be fighting middle-weight which is max 174. I normally held my weight at 176, but went on vacation a few weeks back, got lazy, and stopped monitoring. I did some weights as well, which seemed to get my muscles all sorts of soaked up (i've been up to 190 before).
Now, im at 185, I have only till Saturday, which is 4 days to drop this weight. After I work out, of course thats about 5 lbs, but, im still worried about making this weight, mostly due to the fact that you weigh in, then fight in abotu an hour. So even if I could starve/dehydrate myself (which I don'ot have experience doing, and wouldn't like to), my body would be wrecked for fighting.
CHANGES:
Right now, im cutting my carbs very low, only a cup of oatmeal for breakfast, and some rice for lunch, then im thinking of just sticking with protein and spinach / brockley. I do NOT want to catabolize however, just because I know im just going to gain more fat when I do eat. Im stepping up my cardio to three times a day, when i'd just rather let myself peak, but I slacked off from my weight, so im dealing with it.
Any advice concerning this woudl be much appreciated, im very excited for this, and have searched the internet and this forum for the weight cutting, when pretty much it is based on having 24hrs in between. Any more suggestions on top of what I posted im doing?
