Kevin,
Some changes in your eating habits is all you need. The rest should be accomplished through your conditioning. Nobody can stay on a strict diet forever so you would rather change your eating lifestyle generally rather than turn your world upside down with a crash diet only to gain it back when you go off.
Follow these guidelines:
never miss breakfast....
no soft drinks.....
drink water throughout the day....
eat smaller portions.....
eat until the hunger goes away, not until your full....
don't eat right before bed....
get a full nights sleep....
if you drink milk, skim only....
cut back on the bread and eat your meats grilled broiled or baked, not fried....
good luck

Expertise
I can answer any questions related to boxing and training. I can help anyone prepare for professional or amateur bouts. My trainer/boss of 24 years is in the Golden Gloves Hall of Fame and trained the heavyweight champion of the world. Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Taylor, Billy Bridges, Frankie Randall just to name a few of the boxers who have passed thru the Southerns and/or trained at our gym.
Experience
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
Organizations
I am a certified Golden Gloves/USA Boxing Coach. I am also a licensed to work pro bouts in several states.
