Answer 1

niceee. i do mma as well.

its not normal to lose that much weight in 1 day. its not very healthy either.

now unless you have a fight coming up soon and your trying to get down to the next weight class, i wouldnt recommend starving yourself if you do.

I'm guessing you train pretty hard if ur losing that much weight so in between your training or before training, eat. eat, eat ,eat.... take a little break after eating and then go train.

you need to eat for your body to recoup and heal itself so your body and muscles can grow.

and if you can get protien powder and a daily vitamin.

For myself, i use Gold Standard 100% Whey. The whey protien gives you results in mass and strength while keeping you very lean at the same time.....you should also get a daily vitamin. I personally take mega men vitamins. They're really easy to take(twice a day) and the vitamins arent *synthetic* wont get into that though.

so yea good luck:)

P.S. you can get both of those supplements at your local GNC.

Answer 2

Definitely not.

Answer 3

wow........  

Answer 4

If you are losing that much a day, then you needa do what Phelps does. He eats a 12,000 carb diet a day. You need to boost up your carbs as well since you are burning so quickly. Try bumping up your meals and eating more a day. I'm talking eggs, omelets, sandwiches, things like that.

Answer 7

not normal, but some of it may be water weight/food weight.(like 5-8 lbs.) also check what your eating. if it is high  calorie food/low nutrient foods then try switching to nutrient rich food (low cal/high nutrient). like veggies, chicken, fruits, berries.

Make sure your getting enough protein.

Protein is vital for muscle rehabilitation.

Also you may be overtraing. overtraing is when you work so hard your body starts to look inside itself to find nutrients.

Try toning down your work out, you don't need to out do everyone at everything.

Answer 8

I would go see a doctor that specializes in nutrition maybe he can help with vitamins and find out why your weight loss is so rapid.
