Sensible Eating Plan for fighters

This is a diet plan that ProKick’s Billy Murray followed from as early as 1980 up to 1991 that helped him maintain a fight weight of 67kilo and also in 2006, almost 30 years later helped maintain a weight of 72kilo for his last charity fight in 2006. Obviously it may not suit everyone however it can act as a guideline. Note, you can have the best diet plan in the world but not have the will power to follow it through, it’s really down to how much you really want it then and only then it will work for you. For today’s athletes diet is key, every athlete should go through their own diet analysis and have their own eating plan designed specifically for them. Remember to drink plenty of water.

Follow the chart six days a week and on the seventh, substitute a meal, by giving yourself a little treat that you enjoy. (Do not over indulge but keep to sensible eating). The seventh day can be any day, Sat; Sun Tue or Wed but keep to this day and don’t change your pattern.
If you have a medical condition, consult your doctor before you start the sensible eating chart.

This is exactly what im looking for, a good steady eating plan..although i have my own, i reckon it has not been right for me, so i intend to look at this one and give it a go..

once i have the spare funds im going to buy weights and a bench, for now ill use the multi gym and my runs and a good diet like this one..
I have been told that one of the resons im not losing anymore weight is because im now just under my bmi so the body fights this as it evens itself out and that i now need to work on whats left by increasing the work i place on my muscles and eventually all will respond .

Look forward to the exercise plan reccomended to run with this diet..
