Lemonade Diet?

how did boxers in the past fight 15 rounds with their diet being steak and eggs?

 

By hard work, fighting flat footed, eating high energy food that fueled them but probably helped contribute to their poor health not too far down the line.

But no buddy don't worry about science and facts, live in the past, in the past they did alright hey, lack of knowledge never hurt anyone.

 

How much protein do you think an athlete should have daily?

 

Myth #2: Protein is bad for your kidneys.

The truth: A high protein diet will not negatively influence the kidneys, cause renal disease or otherwise damage your health.
So why does this rumor persist? Well, because people have a tendency to believe whatever they're told first. The "protein is bad for your kidneys" myth has been around a long time and many people (even a lot of doctors) still spout this bit of unscientific drivel.
Fact: There's absolutely no data in healthy adults suggesting that a high protein intake causes the onset of renal (kidney) dysfunction. According the Dr. John Berardi, there aren’t even any correlational studies showing this effect in healthy people.
This myth basically started when patients with kidney disease were "tube fed" a high protein diet. These diets exacerbated their already existing kidney problems. Based on this, some doctors jumped to the conclusion that normal high protein diets (not parenteral nutrition or tube feedings) could have a negative effect on normal, healthy people (as opposed to those already suffering from kidney disease).
This is sorta like saying that because eating certain types of fiber can exacerbate the GI symptoms of a person with irritable bowel syndrome, fiber must cause irritable bowl syndrome in otherwise healthy people and should be avoided. Wrong.
And even if a high protein intake causes the kidneys to "work harder," this isn't necessarily a bad thing. The kidneys adapt just the way our muscles adapt when we ask them to work harder: with healthy structural adaptations.

Note from your kidneys: "Hey, we like protein!" One final note: When an individual or organization decides to spread this antiquated medical myth, ask yourself, "Why?" Animal rights and extremist vegetarian groups are often behind these myths.
PETA ran full-page ads last year in major newspapers stating that "protein is bad for your kidneys." They often do this under misleading names such as the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. (The PCRM is actually lead by a wacky vegan psychiatrist.) So, beware of hidden agendas when you hear protein myths being spread around!

pretty much the best reply on this thread in my opinion. Cut back on your calories and make sure you still get an adequate amount out of grains, meat, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and expecially water daily. Take a multivitamin with your breakfast every morning. Eat some form of grains before you workout (oatmeal, rice, pasta) and some high form of high protein food (chicken, steak, etc) with vegetables after you workout. If you're limited on money, spend $30 on whey protein and take one serving a day directly after your workout, but don't neglect the other nutrients your body is going to need. Try to add Tuna Fish sandwiches into your diet as well. This is a boxing forum, so I assume you at least participate in the sport or own the equipment at home. Step up the intensitiy of your workouts. Sprints or jump-rope intervals should be incorporated into your workout 3 days a week to help you lose that extra weight. In my eyes, doing the lemonade diet to lose weight is the equivalent of a bodybuilder eating nothing but mcdonalds for a month to bulk up. It just sounds bad.

 

I think most people will catch that one

 

Amen. You gave a few diet examples but we could go on for days. The point is variation. A balanced diet is the way to go, any diet that says "avoid x", whether x is protein, carbs, saturated fats, or whatever, is complete ****. The more you know about nutrition, the less you know about nutrition. Nature knows better, just make sure you get as many different NATURAL foods as you can get. And I agree, when short on money or time, (natural) supplements are a great way of making sure you get what you need.

 

True carbs are needed for energy, but if people are looking for fast results, then they omit carbs.

 

Agreed:good
