I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this on sherdog (if it isn't, someone please direct me to the correct spot).
I am looking to lose about 10 to 12 pounds in a month and a half for a jiujitsu tournament. The weigh ins are with the gi, and are done 30 minutes before the division is called. I was wondering if anyone knows how I can safely lose 10-12 pounds, without cutting water weight or doing crazy colonics or diuretics, in time for the tournament? If you could point me towards some resources on the net, that would be great. If you could provide examples from personal experience, that's even better.
I'm 6'1", 172 pounds, skinny sort of body, and I'm looking to compete in a division with a 168 pound max (with the gi on). I figure a gi is around 4-5 pounds , so my target weight is around 162. This way, I can stay under 168 with a gi.
I don't really have a strict diet at the moment, per se. Breakfast consists of a bowl of cereal early in the morning (around 6 or 7). Then I eat a lunch in school at around 3, consisting of rice and curry usually. I'll also include a small salad and a fruit. When I get home around 10, I eat another meal again that's similar to my lunch. Sometimes, in between, I'll have a small bowl of cereal (I'm a huge fan of cereal lol).
I am not well-versed in nutrition, so that's why I'm asking for resources or places which can help. I do train BJJ 2-4 times a week, but I do no exercise outside of that. Classes are, in my estimation, pretty intense (workout 15-20 mins, learn techniques/drill 20-30 minutes, then rolling for 10-15 minutes).
I have no issues decreasing certain foods from my diet. I hate feeling hungry though, so if there is some (healthy and appropriately edible) substitute which will make me feel full without negating my weight-loss goals, that would be great. I absolutely love vegetables and fruits, and have been called a rabbit by friends.
I guess that's all of the relevant information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am looking to lose the weight in a healthy way.
Thanks a lot.
