Question
Mr Hofer,
I am getting into boxing and I was wondering what are some meals boxers usually eat to drop weight. Also, I was wondering what supplements or protein shakes or products are good that boxers use to drop fat and create lean muscle.
Josh
To drop weight effectively, there are a number of ways, but for the most part most fighters and athletes who train go on high protein diets, because the protein helps muscles repair and build. Whey protein is a good source to use as far as supplements go. I have a diet called the color coded diet on my website at www.boxingdoneright.com, but there are many effective diets out there. The main thing is to stick to it.
Thanks,
Joe
