Hi,
I am a first-time poster, but I’ve been reading here for maybe a year or so. I would like to know what I can do to help me lose about 5 pounds or so in the next 23-24 days. I know it’s drastic and I also know that it will likely deplete my health to some degree, but I am a professional boxer and it’s just what I have to do to compete. I workout a lot at this time- too much for health but just enough for my sport-, and I will step it up even more the next 3 weeks; so there’s that. Over the last year or so I have incorporated many Peat principles into my diet and life, and I have benefitted very much, for the record. I am 5'9" and 185 pounds at this time, and I would like to get to 180 by June 30th, that way I only have to shed 5 lbs. of water weight (in the sauna and by not drinking water for 30 hours or so) to make 175 for my July 1st weigh-in.
I want to say that I am very aware that working out for 15+ hours per week is too much, and I believe that restricting calories is detrimental as is getting punched in the head, but I am knowingly taking these risks. I would like to know how I can tweak my diet/lifestyle for fat loss, and some tips, pointers or advice that you have for me as I prepare. Here is my current routine for the past 10 days or so:
Sleep: about 7-8 hours most nights; although I work as a firefighter so once a week I do not get to sleep straight through the night- maybe 2-3 hours at a time for a total of 4-5 hours one of the days per week
Current daily Dietary Regimen: eat less than I need but hopefully enough
1-2 bananas
1 liter orange juice
1 apple
20 grams whey protein
4 whole eggs with some cheese
1 bar (85g) of 88% dark chocolate
4 oz. kefir
32-48 oz. coffee
6 oz. sardines
12-16 oz. bone broth
a few cups of vegetables
Current Supplement Regimen:
Vitamin B1 (Thiamin)- 100mg
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)- 100mg
Niacinamide - 1,000 mg
Vitamin B6 (P5P)- 15 mg
Vitamin B7 (Biotin)- 600mcg
Vitamin K2- 2400mcg
Aspirin- 1,3000mg 3x per day
Taurine 10g
Theanine 500mg
Glycine 5g
Thanks a lot for any help.
