Hello
I have trained BJJ for 4 years and competed intensively for the first 3. Specially in year 2 and 3 I was very into it, winning many competitions and even travelling for some larger ones. I was really disciplined with my diet and only had like 1 330 ml beer per month! I really love beer, always has been my favorite drink, but I was just extremely focused.
on the 4th year, due to work and other things in life, i had to stop competing and spent a year training normally, every day (instead of twice-3 times a day and competing every single month). I also became less disciplined with my diet.
Now, i decided that its time to get back on track and I am back to training alot and will start competing again in the first week of october. My final short-term objective is 2016 pan ams.
I have been cutting many habits that i was having during this last year, including the occasional chocolate (love), pizza, and beer. For me, the hardest thing to remove has been the beer.
Finally, my question: would you say that it is OK for an athlete to have about 1 liter of beer per week (for example, one 330 ml beer 3 days a week), considering that this is the only "flaw" in his diet?
