If you don't eat carbs, you'll deplete your glycogen stores. Sure, it'll make you lose weight in the long run, but since he's only got 11 days, that's NOT the way to do it. He'll need his glycogen for the fight.
You need to lower your overall calorie intake a little, and step up your amount of exercise. If you're 3 pounds over when you go to bed the night before, then you'll be able to sweat the last three (which should be 1.5 in the morning) off in a short while, using a sweatsuit and a jumprope, just prior to the weigh in.
After the weigh in, make sure the first thing you do (BEFORE eating) is drink about a liter of fluid, mostly water, but a gatorade (or something similar) is recommended as well, to restore your body fluids. This will also ensure that you don't overeat, since the fluid will take the edge off your hunger.
5 lbs. in 11 days? Easy. I have guys doing that in 24 hours, with no negative effects on their stamina/performance . That's not saying you should wait that long, the longer period you do it over, the safer it will be for you, performance wise.
Edit: A requirement for doing this, is that you're very well prepared physically, as losing weight can have a negative effect on your stamina and strength, if you're not physically fit enough.Last edited by PunchDrunk; 07-17-2007, 07:01 PM.Comment

i got a question on makin weight. the most i ever had to dry out the day of was 2-3 pounds max. but i see guys like hatton and baldomir and winky and cotto walkin around at 180 or wutever and they make weight like 40 pounds lower. how is it possible to cut so much weight so fast while training so intensely without constantly bein fatigued and slow all day long. i never understood that. wouldnt they be unbelievable tired and sluggish and slow every day from so little food and so much intensity, cutting so much weight cuz they aint eatin nuthin so how can they keep goin wit no calories in their bodies? sounds like a ****** question but i dont get like how cotto goes in at 180 to training camp, trains, and used to make weight at 140, and he was a POWERHOUSE thru 12 rounds. if i dont eat alot for like 4 days i am dead tired all day and at the gym, i mean i still go mad hard but i aint fightin no championship fight...
p.s. didnt mean to hijack thread, but im curious...Last edited by SpeedKillz; 07-17-2007, 07:42 PM.Comment

Five pounds in 11 days can be done. Less intake of calories and increase the time/distance of your runs.
Don't bother with trying to sweat it off with a sweat suit. Water weight is put right back on as soon as you have any liquid. So it is pointless doing it 11 days prior to a weigh-in. However, on the day of a weigh-in it could be helpful if you’re a little over and need to drop some quick weight.
Good luck!Comment

eat your last meal (dinner) at 4:00 ..drink water from then on..... you'll be fine.Originally posted by Smokin' View Post
if you run and train with it you could prally make 150-148
but if you eat before 4pm and sleep you'll lose 2 pounds a night .. easily.. wake up and go for a short run and do the same thing.
Believe me.. it works very well.Comment

ok guys i found out this one thing on the net check it out
For the fifth, fourth and third days before the weigh in, I have my athletes consume 2 gallons of water a day. They carry the gallon jug around with them so they know how much fluid they are taking in. At this time, the athlete also can be more ******* with sodium in his diet (we don’t go heavy on the sodium, but a little increase can help later as you will see). This increased water intake triggers hormones in the body to excrete more urine than usual. This response will be essential in losing fluid the day before the weigh in. Two days before the weigh in, the fighter cuts the fluid intake to one gallon of water, and cuts out the sodium from the diet. Finally, the last day before the weigh in, the fighter takes in no fluids, no sodium, and only food that I will describe later. This process is effortless, and only requires a little discipline and tolerance of a dry mouth.Comment
