Weight Loss Methods of Wrestlers, Body Builders, Boxers, etc…

Why are some athletes willing to engage in weight loss behaviors that might ultimately physically harm them?

There is a group of sports competitors that go to extremes to achieve weight loss. The groups I am referring to include…

Wrestlers

Boxers

Body Builders

MMA Fighters

…and any other sport where minimizing your overall weight on the day of competition is advantageous.

I have had the opportunity throughout my life to interact with athletes of all types. I was a high school athlete, and even participated in competitive sports such as volleyball and flag football into adulthood. I got to meet and compete against some great athletes and the experience made me a better person on several levels. I believe that all kids should be involved in some type of competitive sport as they grow up for several reasons…

You learn that winning doesn’t just happen…sports success involves a great deal of preparation, both mentally and physically.

Competition helps to define you and your individualized skills.

Competition helps you to learn how to deal with defeat. Sports promote a desire to win while encouraging tenacity.

Competitive sports prepare young people for a life of physical fitness. Athletics make staying fit and healthy a daily routine that can become a life-long habit.

I learned through my own experiences that all dedicated athletes are looking for an edge over their competitors. Some will go to extreme lengths to achieve that edge. For example, I used to spread BENGAY all over my legs before a track meet (weird, huh). Ironically, some of these practices have serious health implications. Sports that are broken down into weight classes such as boxing and wrestling lend themselves to the belief that less is more. Athletes will do whatever they can to get themselves into the lowest weight class possible. They will utilize methods that are foreign and even unattractive to those of us outside of these arenas. Some of the methods include…

- Restricting food intake

- Fasting

- Restricting Fluids

- Rubber/Plastic Suits

- Laxatives

- Diet Pills

- Diuretics

- Enemas

- Vomiting

The potentially damaging side affects to these methods should be obvious, yet they have been employed for years either covertly or overtly.

There has to be a better way!
