Won!

Hi. Just wanted to let you know I won. My weight was fine. It was tough fight. From the diet and dehydration, I was really tired after the second round, but managed to continue 3rd round, then at the 4th round I passed through. Also my trainer said, "this is the time you shine. Last 2 minutes!" I didn't think I had power left, but my will kept me moving.
Anyway, I thank you all for the help.
I now have to fight 1/2 final in 10 days. So short!

Thanks DutchDynamite!
I would like to try carbo cycling this week. I have been on 1200 cal diet with 1/2 hour workout in the morning & 1-2 hours workout in the boxing gym. So my intake has been too little, but I was scared to switch. Now I know the last resort (dehydration) so I would like to shake my body to break the plateau.
I checked body builder's site and I have been reading their articles, but it is somewhat overwhelming. You mentioned about the carbo cycling in a simple way. If you could tell me more about it, or suggest where I can get more info, it would be very appreciated. Can I stay in the same calorie range or can I eat more? I normally have oatmeal or wheat cereal in the morning. This is the only carb I have taken other than that in beans and veggies.

For a start you should eat something good tonight, something bad if you know what i mean, your body deserves its favorite food after a big win.

With the carbo cycling you will eat higher calories on re fuel days (every 3rd day) 1200 on two days straight and maybe 1500 on re fuel days. Making sure these extra calories are clean and not from pizza and doughnuts .

2 days straight you eat carbs until lunch being your last. i have two breakfasts; (1) at 7am 80 grams of oats with skim milk and a banana. (2) 10am, 2 slices wheat bread with tuna on water (150 gr), little ketchup, chili, mustard.
12 noon lunch time would be my last carbs - brown rice.

I use to weigh my all my food, after 2 weeks you know exactly how much you should eat. To know how many calories are in foods, check this site:

(it doesn't seem to load but there are many calorie counter sites on the net, google search it)


and you will learn what to eat and what not.

good luck

Thank you for your detailed advise.
i am using Calorie-count.com to keep my food diary. I have eaten 1200 cal 3 suare meals, but dinner is late for I reach home after 10:00. I have a full time job so I only can go to the gym after work. By the time I reach home it is usually after 10:00. I don't want to eat heavy dinner, but I am usually really hungry, so I ended up eating a lot of salad- a whole romain or lettuce with 3-4 oz turkey or chiken breast and beans (canned) and right before bed, I eat frozen berries with non fat yogurt like ***E.
I have a hard time sleeping. i usually get up in the middle of the night.
Sometimes I snack- almonds or cereal. I know this is bad. I wake up 5- 6 a.m.
I was smiling when i read "bad food such as pizza or donuts". They used to be my two favorite foods. I used to eat a whole pizza by myself and I used to eat 2 dunkin donuts every morning. I am a big eater to begin with. But since I commited to be a competitive boxer I stopped all that and became strict eater. I think being on low calorie diet, my body adjusted accordingly, I usually eat 1500 cal if no need to make weight, and 2-3 weeks before the fight I drop down to 1200 and increased exercise, but this time, it didn't work. I was stuck with 118 for the longest, and struggled around 115. I will have to be 111 lbs in 10 days. I can do the thing- dehydration and cleansing for days, but it was pretty tough pysically and mentally. So as I said I wanted to try something different for this week to see if I can shake my body by changing diet or exercise. I will try smaller meal and change calorie every 2 days like you mentioned. Any carb intake changes between 1200 / 1500 re- fuel days?
Do I just increase the calories or any particular item I should add during re-fuel days?

I am adding carbs for dinner on re fuel days since my training finishes at 7pm latest so my body has time to burn some of the calories by the time i sleep at midnight.

YOU should not ad carbs for your 10pm dinner, its to late and you will not burn but you are hungry. You should eat a wheat bread tuna or chicken sandwich or carb bar snack BEFORE your work out, like 45 min - 1 hour max. before the workout. By doing this you will be less hungry by 10 pm and you can eat your salad with chicken strips, mushrooms etc. I use japanese zero fat dressings from the asian grocery - very tasty! Put some cottage cheese on you salad as well for rebuilding your muscles. A glass of low fat or fat free milk fills me up just before i sleep!

Give it a try
