Don't try this again, says a 23-year-old doctor.
I read a note about how does Khabib lose weight before the fight.
Weight is the main weapon of the fighters of the major leagues.
In ordinary life, Khabib weighs 85 kg and is 178 cm tall. At the time of weighing - he is in the category "up to 70 kg". Directly in battle, which takes place about a day after weighing, he already weighs about 80 kg.
“I had a tough weight race, but the recovery went very well, flawlessly. After weighing, I regained almost 12 kg in 32 hours, which separated weighing and fighting, " - said Khabib in an interview in 2016 after another fight.
During the fight with Conor McGregor, he was 79 kg.
These added pounds are very important to victory, especially if you are a fighter famous for choke hold.
Khabib begins to shed his "extra" 20 kg a couple of months before the fight.
He stops eating meat, switches to vegetables and fish. Nuts are a must - according to his father, who developed the diet, it stimulates the brain.
I will not list and comment on all the methods, but I will say that in 2017, Khabib was taken to the hospital 3 hours before weighing in directly from the sauna, where he sweated the last kg. According to press reports, he had kidney failure.
Losses with such extreme weight loss are very large, even fatal.
One of the most formidable complications in such situations is lactic acidosis, that is, a pronounced shift in the pH of the blood to the acidic side, or, as people say, “acidification”. Against the background of excessive physical exertion and peculiarities in nutrition, a lactacidotic ("lactic acid") coma can occur, not to mention the fact that the heart can simply not stand it.
Don't try to repeat what the athletes do. It cripples life.
Lose weight calmly, without unnecessary records.
