This is a basic overview for anyone whos trying to drop to a lower weight class or just lose weight and wants to do so without killing themselves in the process.

I say this, because a lot of people in BJJ literally destroy themselves trying to cut weight for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitions. And in most cases it isn’t necessary and there is a better way to do things.

So in the video I share some of the simplest weight cutting tips that you can implement to lose weight slowly and intelligently. To lose weight without losing tons of muscle and without destroying your training and performance.

Hope the video is useful!

Oh and if you want to see my diet click the link below. This is pretty much my diet all the time. I simply eat varying amounts of food depending on my goals at the time.

Also, if you want to hire someone to write out your diet for you and be a remote coach to keep you accountable. I can’t recommend my buddy Eli enough. He’s been one of my coaches for the last 2 years and hiring him was one of the best decisions for my performance, health and physical appearance.

The post Weight Cutting for Jiu-Jitsu Competition, Good or Bad? appeared first on jitseasy.

I don’t know about you. But anytime I begin dieting, maybe to cut weight for a BJJ competition or tournament, I instantly want something I’m not supposed to have. For instance I almost never eat ice cream. Like maybe 3 times a year. But as soon as I’m dieting for a match or something and losing weight. . . I want ice cream. If you’re similar to this then you might like this recipe I share in the video.

It’s super simple. It’s a casein protein, oats, water/almond milk and some sort of nut butter.

You can use whatever protein you want. But if you’d like to try the UMP protein I’m using. Visit: https://beverlyinternationalstore.com?aff=5 and look for the UMP products. Heads up that’s an affiliate link. So I get a kick back. But regardless of whether you get some or not, it’s my favorite protein bar none.

It ends up making a pudding that’s high in protein and super tasty. If I’m trying to cut weight I’ll take out the oats and whenever I’m trying to increase weight I’ll add more oats.

This video is a response to a lot of you who’ve asked for some food related tips on the channel. This is just a simple one but it’s a helpful addition for keeping me on my diet whenever I’m losing weight for BJJ competitions.

Thanks for watching.
