How To Avoid Gaining Fat When You Can’t Train BJJ

Are you worried about gaining weight and getting out of shape because of the quarantine and not being able to train? This has been a really common question I’ve received over the last couple of weeks. And it’s the question for today’s Chewy Ramble.

Our friend, like most of us, is unable to train BJJ currently because of the restrictions going on in his area. He says he’s worried about gaining weight and letting his diet slip. So his question was to see if I had any dieting tips for dealing with the situation while stuck at home unable to train.

In this video I outline 3 tips you can use to keep your diet in check while you’re unable to take part in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training. That said, they’re also tips that could serve you well even after you go back to training.

These tips are also some of the same tips that helped me avoid gaining a bunch of weight in 2014 during my last long layoff from training.

Hopefully the video is useful to you and if you’d like more tips head on over to: https://www.chewjitsu.net/time-off and register to get my free at home training resource loaded with more info about dieting, bjj study and at home workouts to help you through the quarantine.

Thanks for watching.

1 Important Takeaway from Injuries and Time Off BJJ

Gary Berger — Thu, 05 Jul 2018 23:00:01 +0000

Today’s question comes from White Belt our friend who recently had a freak accident outside the gym and now has to take 1 month off BJJ training.

He’s super down about it as he’s been making a lot of progress with his BJJ. And he’s wanting to get some exercises that he can use for his down time.

In this video I steer away from this situation a bit. I know that a lot of people don’t want to lose their progress or the skill they gained in BJJ. And with a small downtime, you won’t.

But something more valuable that can come from this period of inactivity is the contrast of not being able to train.

Meaning, when you get back to training and you’re having a bad day, bomb a tournament or whatever. You can go back and think about what it was like to not even be able to train and then be thankful for the opportunity to get out there on the mats. You’re healthy and not injured and there will always be tomorrow.

This is something I picked up when I was younger and really helps give more appreciation to your BJJ training.

Thanks for watching the video!
