The fighter’s diet is a proven diet used by competing fighters over the past decades to get in shape and lose weight quickly. I’ve broken down all the essential steps into a 30-day diet plan with detailed instructions, schedules, charts, recipes, and food lists, all packed into a 180-page eBook.
Find out why the fighter’s diet is the fastest way to increase performance AND lose weight!
Why the FIGHTER’S DIET?
- GET STRONG – more energy, more power, better performance.
- GET RIPPED – lose weight, make weight, look great.
- GET IN SHAPE QUICKLY – competitive fighters have used these same dieting tactics for decades to lose weight in time for their fights.
What is the fighter’s diet?
The “fighter’s diet” is a strict diet used by competing fighters, professional and amateur, over decades with great success. The reason why it’s so popular is because it’s the fastest way to increase the fighter’s strength while decreasing his body fat.
The separation of weight classes in combat sports has made it every fighter’s goal to weigh in as low as possible. Not only do fighters have to lose weight quickly, they have to do it often. The average fighter must lose weight 5-6 times a year whereas the average person has tried weight loss maybe only a few times in his entire life.
You could definitely say that fighters are seasoned veterans when it comes to rapid weight loss. They’ve developed many tricks and secrets to rapid weight loss over the years and that’s what I plan to share.
The typical dieting experience
When I first started boxing, the only thing I cared about was increasing my physical strength. Bigger muscles, more power, more speed, more endurance—I wanted everything. My approach to dieting at the time was TRAIN ALOT & EAT ALOT. And it worked…I was ripped.
It wasn’t until I wanted to compete that I found myself in the same boat as everyone else. This included other lean fighters, bulky guys, “average” guys, the fat kids, EVERYONE. What we all had in common was the same fear—FIGHTING BIGGER OPPONENTS.
We weren’t losing weight to impress the girl next door (although that’s nice, too), we were dropping our weight as low as possible to fit into the smallest weight class possible. The smaller our opponents, the less powerful they were and the more likely we would win. We weren’t trying to win a beauty contest, we were just scared for our lives.
This fear drove many fighters into making painful mistakes. It was common to see fighters severely weakened by starvation, dehydration, or weight loss drugs. And it’s damn near impossible to win a fight when you show up at less than your best. The worst part about fighting isn’t the dieting, it’s getting destroyed when you’ve worked so hard to win.
How the 30 Day Fighter’s Diet works
The fighter’s diet, as ANY successful diet should be, is a periodized dieting program.
The average diet plan fails because it limits you to a list of “good foods” and “bad foods” and then hold you to a painfully strict diet for a set time. Sometimes, it’s a really silly rule such as “don’t eat carbs” or “eat more grapefruit” (I’m not making this up). Not only is this inflexible but also not effective for everyone. If anything, many diets require either an overly strict diet or some form of starvation to have any success!
The reason why a periodized dieting program is so much more effective is because it’s dynamic, meaning that the diet adjusts to your body as the weeks go on. Learning how to diet is really about learning how to adjust your diet every week for everlasting improvements. You wouldn’t expect to get stronger doing the same workout routine week after week, so why use the same approach with dieting?
The fighter’s diet starts you off by getting you used to eating the right foods in the right portions at the right time. As the weeks go by, you’ll learn how to trim down your portions and be more selective about what you put in your body. This process only takes 30 days. You could certainly recycle this diet over and over to maintain your health but typical fighters only need 30 days to get into optimum shape.
My proudest feature of this book is that I’ve made it as easy as possible to finally eat healthy. Once you know the rules of healthy eating, you can do whatever you want. You won’t feel limited to a few foods, or forced to become a gourmet chef. Like I said—IT’S EASY!
I’ve seen this diet tear 10-30lbs off my fighters in a month, fight after fight, year after year. And I’m confident it could work for anyone! It works even for non-athletes…although working out wouldn’t be a bad idea.

did the supplements i showed you make the cut? lol
Hey Thair!
I didn’t put them in because I felt like they were simply overpriced versions of what I take already and my supplements were far more comprehensive than that. But please list yours here so everyone can see!
hey johny how do you stay cool in the pocket. also how do you move with purpose in the pocket???
Excellent question! The short answer is to have some natural rhythm and reflex going. Close range doesn’t give you much room to think. You should already have some natural patterns to move through. At some point, your fighting reflexes should have been well developed in order to handle those situations. I will go over this more in detail in future guides.
Hi Johnny, I just recently ordered your ebook and I was reading through it last night, and I must say it is all very helpful and useful information, but I accidentally X-ed the screen out before saving it to my computer!! I can’t get back to the original link, could you perhaps send me one? Much appreciated!
Hi Cary, everyone gets a login email immediately after purchase. In that email will be a password you can use to get to the members area and download it. Check your spam folder to see if it went in there.
sound good!
the company is onnitlabs.
some of their supplements I use are Alpha Brain, New Mood, Shroomtech sport, and Stron Bone & Joint.
All have a different purpose that ultimately work together for any proffession, study, or physical activity that requires a great deal of focus, concentration, memory, mental drive, mental clarity. They are a balanced nootropic. The website offers videos with vivid detail of the science behind the products and how they work. The military uses these supplements also athletes such as AJ Hawk, mma fighters, and students.
Thank you for this list! I hope your training is going well. Let me know when you start fighting in regional tournaments.
Hey, follow me back on twitter @swikshz
I did it just now. Thanks for the follow!
hey Johnny, thx 4 all the useful tips. i was wondering when will u have another boxing workshop, i’d love to have a chance to train w/ u
I’m not sure at the moment but I would probably do it next summer. Where are you located?
thx Johnny, next summer is cool, i am looking forward to it. i live in west covina but I train at tapout training center downtown LA, http://www.tapoutla.com/ . i know you probably have enough sparring partners already but if you want you are more than welcome to swing by our gym in the evening. We have amateur fighters preparing for fight all the time and they’ll love to train/sparring with a person with high level boxing skills like you
Oooooh, that’s a bit far but I might take my fighters out there for sparring one day. I’m more busy now as a trainer than a fighter. You guy have fighter from all weight classes?
yeah thats great, we would love to have you guys. we have a lot of 135, 145, 155, and 170s (mma weight classes are a lil different from boxing), but people usually walk around 10 – 15 pounds above their weight classes so you wouldn’t have trouble finding big guys, some of them always have trouble making weight so i’ll definitely tell them about your book.
Does the book cover advice for vegetarians/vegans?
Hi Laura,
Yes the book does address different sources of proteins for vegans and vegetarians and also includes some vegan and vegetarian recipes. The inclusion was surprisingly easier than I imagined as there are many more helpful resources for vegetarian athletes today.
Hi Laura,
This book has been so helpful for me as I’m a vegetarian boxing enthusiast and aspiring amateur trainer. For example, there was a small section that was explaining about B12 deficiency which was something I hadn’t looked into. This is a very helpful manual as it gives you a lot of information on planning your nuitrition based on your dietary habits.
Totally recommended,
TJ
im start fighting once my coach comes back from a training camp in georgia. his fighter yathomas riley lhw fighting on espn on jan 15 i believe. he was #1 in the nation in the amateurs. He couldve been on the olympic team with garry russel if he didnt turn pro. keep an eye on him, he will be lhw champ soon.
Nice. Thanks for the inside info. I’ll keep an eye out for him.
Hey Johnny, I think your common sense boxing article is absolutely incredible, so I’m definitely going to buy this e-book! Just one question though. I’m 25, 5′ 7″ and weigh 140. This is probably going to be a good fight weight for me, but I don’t have a lot of muscle on me. I’m sure this diet will help me burn off a little needed fat, but I feel like I need extra protein and calories split out throughout the day to get stronger and the muscle that I need. Do you think this e-book will still compensate for that for someone like me?
I’ve been vegan for 8 years and just now starting to add lean, organic, meat. I’m sick of relying on beans and soy is no good for me.
Yes, this ebook will show you exactly how to do that. It’s one of the most important aspects of dieting that I stress in there. And you will gain lean muscle as long as you’re eating right and of course also working out to stimulate the muscle growth.
I was wondering about buying the vitamins and minerals, how do we know we arent accidentally taking a product that may be illegal? and if we find the regulations do i have to look through each one of my vitamin bottles to make sure i wont get hit with use of an illegal enhancement? or are only muscle enhancements illegal?
The vitamins and minerals I recommend are natural. You can look up their ingredients online and see what functions each one serves for your body. Illegal enhancements are a whole other story. Some are illegal because they boost performance. Some are illegal because they help hide traces of others, and so on. I have a very limited understanding of illegal substances and will not be going over themin this book.
Hey Johnny I love your site, I took up boxing about 6 months ago and your site has really helped me. Any chance of getting this diet plan as a hard book soon? Also I know you mostly have men in mind when writting your articles, would this plan work for a woman?
Thanks for asking April,
Thie diet guide will definitely work for both men and women. I go over all the healthiest dieting methods that everyone should know, not just athletes. You will definitely get all the same benefits, male or female. I’m currently looking to get it published but this probably won’t happen for another year.
If i stick to vitamins and mineral i should be fine then right? because thats natural, im not taking your exact examples but very similar, i should be good then right? its the muscle energy i may need to watch out for, so basically if its not vitamins and minerals i should look more into em? where do i find whats ok and not ok substances is there a reference you know of at all?
OK vs non-ok substances depends on the context. In terms of legality, in terms of what is healthy, it varies. As long as you stick to the guidelines in the book you will be fine. If you want to eat something I don’t list in the book, it might be a good idea to do some research before you put something new into your body. I did cover a large variety of foods to be as thorough as possible.
Is this also recommended for someone who wants to gain weight?
This guide will teach you how to eat healthy regardless of what you plan to do with your body. If your plan is to gain weight then you will need to do different types of exercises, more like weight lifting rather than cardio, and use the diet recommendations in this book. Certain parts of the book are specifically for cutting weight and you can skip those parts.
In the second picture is that results from the diet plan ? How much did you weigh in that picture ?
I weighed about 146lbs in there. And yes, that is the result of healthy living.
I’m writing to hopefully help influence your choice of purchasing this book. First off, I have a background in kinesiology. I thought I knew about the basics I dieting and weightloss but this book proved me wrong. I love how this begins with the very basic that everyone must know. Not too many resources have it all written out simply and yet helpful. After the basics are said and done, there’s more advanced info to follow up. This is the perfect opportunity to start a New Year’s Resolution in living a better lifestyle with a simple but realistic diet!
Johnny,
Do have a complete list of the supplements mentioned in chapter 5 (brands)? I am having trouble finding some of the ones you mention. Which website(s) do you use to purchase your supplements? Thanks
I listed my complete list in the book. Sometimes the manufacturers change their labeling which can be confusing but if you search up the names of the vitamins I listed along with the manufacturer name from page 91, you’ll be able to find them for sale online.
The vitamins are offered from many different websites; I like to start with Amazon to find some reputable suppliers and then check out their website directly from there.
Hey Johnny! Do you have any videos of your sparring? It seems like you have really long reach and I would assume you would have a classic boxer style, the style where you use your upper body movement for blocking or slipping punches.
What is your height, weight and reach?
Will you be able to make a video of counter left hook off the right hand? Precisely, you see alot of fighters stepping slightly back with their upper body rotating to their left, making the opponent to miss his right and then countering with left hook.
And, the counter left hook that danny garcia threw to ko Morales and amir khan.
Thanks!!
Happy new year!
I have a ton of videos but don’t share them publicly. They are for my friends and people in my gym who have a different relationship with me as opposed to ExpertBoxing readers. I’m 5’7″ at 142lbs.
Check out my article/video on 10 Counters for the Right Hand that covers the left hook counter.
Hey Johnny
Really enjoying it so far, very informative. I was wondering your views on taking grenade fat stripper, in the book you don’t suggest taking diet pills but do they fit into this?
I have been using them with good results but wanted options
Thanks Oliver. I’m glad you enjoyed.
In regards to weight loss pills, I don’t trust those products at all. Many of them are simply not natural, not safe, they mess with your heartbeat, etc. It’s just not natural for a magic pill to compensate for a bad diet. Even if you lost the fat, it still wouldn’t mean you were on a healthy diet. You still need nutrients and you still need to eat right.
Hi. Really enjoy You site, greate job, lots of amazing tips. Thank You for energy you are putting in it.
I am begginer, and i would like to start the whole adventure with boxing in proper way,
That is why i am willing to get you ebooks. A specialy i am interested
In dieting one. Question to you, can i download it straight to ipod touch?
Hi Damian,
Thank you for the compliments. The ebook is in PDF format which should be compatible with the itouch. If you can download files onto the iPod touch then it should work fine. If not, you’ll probably have to download it using a computer and then email it to yourself or transfer it to the iPod touch somehow.
Thank You for so fast respond. Than is what i call
Professional:). My next question, if You dont mind is,
where did You get all infos for this ebook?
Is it personal experience, or some kind of
collective data out of different resources?
( sorry for any spelling errors, I am Polish, still
learning)
The knowledge comes from everywhere. My personal experience, knowledge from other fighters, other trainers, other diet books, advice from medical professionals. The most important thing is that I focus only on what works.
Just wanted to say I am a novice at boxing and am absolutely in love with not only the sport, but the culture. I am a 34 year old male so I am not looking to start a prize fighting career any time soon. I have a fine trainer and a good workout regime. I purchased the 30 day fighters diet online and am on Day three. My sister is a dietician so we have made some tweeks to fit me but so far this is amazing. The entire approach is great and very reasonable. I also have spent much time on this website and trust your opinions on everything from stance to gear comparisons. I have passed on the website and will keep everyone informed on how the training is coming.
After reading this I want to say well done Johnny. I highly recommend this book, certainly to fighters but also even to those not fighting.
Its all based on good sound logic and common sense but I also like the way you are able to transition to the more complex aspects whilst still keeping it relatively simple and easy to understand. You’ve got a great gift there Johnny which is seen not just in this book but also in your articles. You make things relatively easy to pick up things which can be very complicated. And there is certainly stuff in there that is quite complicated but its put in a way which is generally pretty easy to understand.
So yeah make sure if your reading this you pick this up. I hope in the future Johnny you continue to do more stuff like this as well as continueing on with your awesome website and articles!
what do you think about these multi vitamins? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015R3A7M/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00
I’ve never tried those but it looks like it has many excellent reviews.
Just read your new book and it’s AWESOME! Lots of great advice without doing all the trendy fad diets. My biggest problem was timing so thanks for your help.
Hello Johnny,
I’m a new kickboxer
And while im looking for resources to new kickboxers i saw your site. (i couldnt find resources about kickboxing :/)
I bought your Fighter’s Diet book and I loved it!
I learned too many things and i saw my mistakes.
Thanks for everything…
and i will buy your other books ^^
(sorry my bad english)
Hello Johnny,
I am currently finishing up another program, but have finished reading your book and will start in about 3 weeks. I will be sure to provide some feedback after I am done. As far as the book is concerned, it’s good that you’re about the same weight class as me, so I learned quite a bit from it. I like the fact that you put forth your own diet and bothered mentioning pharmaceutical grade vitamin and mineral supplements. I also find it comforting that you go out of your way to tell people to stay away from the fads that could potentially get them killed like the infamous treadmill + sauna to cut weight as I’ve always found that to be a silly method to cut weight. The recipes seem like they’d be fairly tasty and I can’t wait until I’m back in the U.S. so I can go to a grocery store and shop for those recipes. Well Johnny it looks like you’ve produced well another very well written book that I will likely be reading multiple times like your How To Box in 10 days books which continues to help me not only teach others the sweet science, but also refine my own technique. Thanks again Johnny and again I will provide feedback as soon as I’m at least halfway through the program and then again during the completion.
On a side note, I hope to see more books like these in the future. I’ve read through many instructional books about the martial arts and aside from the one’s written by Bruce Lee, I have not read any books on any martial arts or combat sports that are anywhere near as comprehensive as the ones you’ve written.
Sincerely,
Leonardo B
Johnny,
Feedback for “The 30 Day Fighter’s Diet” is looking very positive so far.
Having read the entire contents several times over throughout my festive holiday break, in preparation for returning to training this week. I can honestly say I’m very impressed with not just the content, but also the depth of field and knowledge presented by yourself.
Admittedly…with myself currently studying nutrition at university I probably have a greater scope of the knowledge provided in this guide than many, but that didn’t stop me learning many things…so many things in fact that it would take forever to list them here.
Having tried some of the recipies you provide, I must say I’m a very well fed kickboxer
and it has made my return to training less painful than usual. On the note of recipies though one point I would like to raise is the fact you do not provide the nutritional information with your recipies, I appreciate that the whole idea behind this guide is to avoid overcomplicating things, but it would be nice to see it for those of us interested. But that’s just me being picky.
I’m currently in the process of finalising my own 30 day diet and workout plan (based on the contents of this guide) in preperation for the ICO British Kickboxing Championships on the 10th February. Hard training commences on Monday. While I’m fortunate enough to not need to lose any weight to make the weigh in, I do need to improve my fight preparations (mainly eating the correct things), something which I discovered the hard way during my last bout.
I shall, hopefully at least, be able to provide some much more in depth feedback and study information after the championships, with regards to any results and improvements I intend to make.
Until then, keep up the site, it provides a knowledge spewing haven for us boxing fans and participants around the world.
Christian G
Soon to be ICO British Kickboxing Champion
Christian,
Thank you for the amazing review and honest thoughts. I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed the book. Good luck in your tournament. All of EB will be cheering for you!
Ok. I just finished this book. My thoughts about
) its a good read,
this piece if Johnys work are:
If you are complete begginer and never read nothing about
healthy diet, and You want to make you boxing life
easier, then its worth EVERY penny You spend on it.
Please guys trust me, if you are on ” normal” mama made
potate, cereal, no fruit barbecue diet, this will
well change You life… and body… for better:).
BUT, if you are in fitness, bodybuilding, healthy living
subject for some time, well most of the informations YOU
CAN find on google, if You know where to look for.
Tip from me, try ALSO read one of the books of Eric Braverman.
Soooo for begginers, and little more advance guys without
more specific knowledge, greate book, just stay with diet, and
wait for transformation, for advance guys,
( bodybuilders, healh freaks
but nothing ground breaking.
Thank you for the review, Damian. I would like to add that although information on EVERYTHING can be found on the internet, it takes time and experience to understand what is most effective and in what ways it is most effective. In regards to it being ground-breaking-qualities. Nothing is groundbreaking if you already know it. On the other hand…if you don’t know something, discovering new information can make the difference between having an ineffective diet vs having the body you’ve always wanted.
Hi Johnny,
Thanks
It was a great purchase. I already read it, very useful. I’m an amateur boxer on my free-time and your guide is very important to realise how to put on a healthy diet. also in order to get more energy and recover after training.
Always checking your website, very clear info.
(sorry English is not my first language, I’m from Chile)
Keep up the good work.
Regards,
Gianluca
Hey man, your diet guide was great!
It helped me with a few things. Like learning not to over indulge in certain foods, and loved the tips u gave. Lost 8 lbs in a week for a job interview, where I had to take shirt off.
Luv the site. My power has increased using your techniques. Just hit the bag and do mma and boxing fitness, not a fighter. But still intresting to learn techniquea. Thank u
Hi Johnny.
After a long thought i decided to take the plunge and start boxing training, mostly for fitness but also a little bit of self defence. Came across your website and was blown away by the great info you share on the sport. I purchased your diet guide and was very impressed by its content, structure, and presentation layout. The info was easily ‘digestible’ for the lay person, and was easy to follow and incorporate into a regular diet plan. I feel education is very important when it comes to the food we eat, and its great to see a no nonsense approach to a healthy/clean eating plan.
Keep up the good work, please feel free to email me back, I keep up to date with the Facebook and website. I am UK based (South Wales) however boxing gyms (at least the good ones) are not so easily available. So finding good tips, sifting thru the BS online, is not so easy, but your website is THE best source i have found.
Thanks, Jeff (28 years young!)
Johnny,
First off I want to thank you not only for this book but taking them time out of your schedule to run what in my opinion is the most informative boxing website i’ve ever come across. I have to be honest and say that I have a pretty strong background in nutrition as well as boxing and both this book and your website continue to amaze me. Whether your covering nutrition, basic technique or even more advanced movements your advice is always on point. I feel like this book is great for people to have a guide on the way fighters should eat and take care of there body.
One suggestion I would have would be to add something in there about intermittent fasting. I recently have taking a break from boxing and have been doing this and the results for fat loss have been impressive. Im not sure how well this way of eating could be incorporated into a boxers hectic training schedule but if it could I feel like it would work wonders for making weight or cutting.
Thanks again for the site man.
Alec
Johnny,
I have been using the information you provided in your E-book and quickly lost 13 pounds and continue to lose weight. I am 49 years old, I had a few amateur fights in my youth, wanted to fight professional but life’s problems kept me from realizing that dream. I always stayed in shape, but after I gave up boxing and turned my attention to other concerns, without realizing it I slowly became sedentary, practiced bad nutrition, and gained 100 pounds (morbid obesity).
When I was young it was easy to lose weight, but I found it very difficult to do it in my 40s. When I tried to lose weight I was always hungry and tired, I was in a bad mood, irritated, and the weight didn’t want to come off.
After reading your E-book and following your advice, I am amazed how fast the pounds are coming off and I feel great, I don’t feel hungry and I don’t feel tired. I have studied boxing all my life and I am planning to start training kids at the Golden Gloves gym and want to be in great shape.
Thank you and keep up the good work Johnny.
I was just wondering about one of the examples. Okay so you follow the diet and training. Does that mean you are trained against taking on the bigger weight classes? Because out of the ring people in those bigger weight classes are the only people I have issues with. So I need to train realisticly around that.
Or was that part about being in the same boat as everyone else pointing out how eating this way as opposed to the previous example diet (work a lot and eat a lot). Allows you to be capable of reaching that next level. Im really just trying to grasp. How if just eating a lot and working alot doesnt give you the edge from just training.
Is it the amount or kind of energy? Is it the pace of digestion and metabolism? Not the whole diet but why wouldnt your body allow you that edge you need before. But will after?
The problem many fighters have at weigh-in is not being able to lose enough weight and therefore end up fighting someone who is naturally bigger than them. The next thing that happens is that some fighters end up starving themselves to make weight because they don’t know how to eat properly to lose the weight.
This diet guide helps you lose weight so that you can come in lean on fight day without having to starve and weaken yourself. Eating right improves your overall health, keeps your weight down, and increases your physical performance.
Great book, have been putting it use for the last 6 weeks and I have been super impressed by the vast amount of knowledge that is shared via this book.
All inside knowledge on how fighters can cut weight can be used in real life when people prepare themselves via training for a summer body or an occasion.
Totally found the resource valuable from a vegetarian’s point of view.
Have put the information and plan to action over the last 6 weeks and have been so glad I have started on this.
This nutrition strategy helps me feel strong when I train and the supplements that I might lack naturally as a vegetarian like B12 or protein intake are well covered.
This review is written after using the information and observing changes over a 6 week period.
BOOK IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR FIGHTERS AND OTHER EXERCISE ENTHUSIASTS.
Thank again Johnny for making my life easy.
hey Johnny,
Having purchased your 30 days fighter’s diet e book, I just wanted to let you know how useful and interesting I’ve found it.
Having been into combat sports since an early age I always sort of had a grasp of healthy nutrition, trying to stick to it on most occasions. Your book however has greatly enhanced my knowledge not only of what to eat, but also of HOW and WHEN to do it!
I can say that thanks to training hard and constantly 5 days a week and thanks also to your invaluable tips on nutrition, I can proudly weigh in at 140 lbs (I am 5.7) at 33 years of age.
Thanks again pal and keep up the great work!!
Fred
Hi Johnny,
From reading most of the comments from readers of your book, it seems the emphasis is on cutting weight. What I am looking for is a nutrition guide or diet to use all year round. I have not fought for over ten years and am currently 40 yrs old but I am back into training and would like to be in shape all year round. Am I right in thinking the book covers meal planning or nutritional guidance to keep me fighting fit all year round?
Hi Sonny,
The fighter’s diet guide is definitely a healthy diet for you to follow all year round. There’s meal planning, nutritional guidance and a whole lot more to keep you in shape in a healthy way. For competitive fighters, I offer a whole chapter on cutting weight but it’s certainly not the theme of the entire diet.
Thanks Johnny,
I see that the only way I can purchase is through Paypal is there no other way I can pay? like credit card
Yes Sonny. You can pay with a creditcard. Click on the “Add to Cart” button up above and then use the “Don’t have a Paypal account” option.
Just want to say that your book is so helpful! I am loving it! It’s so nice to understand why things work and don’t work, and how to adjust to get the effects we want. I also appreciate the simple format that makes it easy to reference different topics. As a result, ten pounds fell off and I am stronger than I have been in a long time. I love it!
I have read several books like this, but yours is the best.
Much continued good luck to you!
Hey everyone! Just adding in my feedback after having the book for a some time now. By following the advice on food/meal portioning, I’ve been able to lose about 10 pounds in a little over a month and drop 1 maybe 2 pants sizes. Thanks Johnny!
Hey jonny I have a couple of questions does this diet require a lot of cooking and is it expensive and is this book only available online?
Hi Jonathan,
The recipes are very simple. They can all be made in about 15 minutes or less. The food is not expensive although that depends on how much you eat. It’s definitely cheaper than eating out. And yes, the book is only available in digital PDF version right now.
hey johnny whats up, i dont have a credit card to buy this amazing 30 day fighters diet but i would love to, but i think i need your opinion/advice. cause this may 26 i have an upcoming amateur fight, its my debut, and i weighted 170 LBS but my trainer said i can lose weight up to 130/140 lbs, but i think i cant cause its less than 2 months from now, what do you think?can i really do it? but i prefer to fight in 154 pound limit
“im only 17″ thats why i cant afford to get credit card -_-
Hi Bin,
You’ll definitely need a creditcard or Paypal account or checking account. I can accept checks and money orders as well. (You can purchase a money order from your local grocery store.) Or you can ask your parents to purchase the guide online.
What’s most important is reaching your lean weight, whatever that is, rather than trying to reach a random number that you haven’t been at before. Now if your trainer says you can reach 130/140lbs, I’ll assume he’s speaking from experience and judging from the amount of body fat you’re carrying around. It’s definitely possible to lose a ton of weight in 2 months and I’ve seen it happen many times before.
Whatever happens, good luck in your fight!
Johnny
hey johnny I got a question can you teach a southpaw because I have noticed your an orthodox and well im a southpaw also im deciding between a speed bag and a double end bag not a heavy bag because I dont think that it would help me cause i am a fast puncher and the hevy bag would mess that up
You can read all my guides and reverse the instructions if you’re a southpaw. I also have helpful videos on my Youtube channel you can watch.
Hi!
I’ve been reading articles on your website since a few months now, and I find it really interesting, so much good advices, thanks for that.
I’m having my amateur debut in 3 months now, and need to loose around 4kgs (i don’t know how much lbs it makes, 7-8 I assume) and wanted to read your book to be in shape for the bout. The question is, i live in switzerland, i was wondering if you deliver outside of the US? And do you know about how much time it will take to get here (I can send it in France also, if it’s cheaper/easier/quicker)?
Thanks a lot!
Zena
Hi Zena,
This is an ebook so you’ll get download access to it immediately after payment. Make sure you check your spam folder too in case it goes in there. Good luck in your first amateur fight!

Hey!! do you have some vegan tips for vegan fighters??
Hi Yessie,
I go over the protein sources for vegans and also included several vegan recipes in the book.
I found the book well-documented as for all types of sport it’s important to have a good diet. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Besides confirming the necessary nutrients and basics attitude we should have when doing sport like boxing, I found the different methods to reach specific goals very interesting. In a couple of weeks I saw that by changing my diet and training 5 days a week my body changed and I got more power, energy and resistance. Tips regarding some food choices, time for eating, ideas of meals, etc are good too. I like the “lazy man’s recipes”, quick and easy to remember!
A must to have. I was always concerned to reach my weight category, but I didn’t know how to plan a good diet to achieve that without starving myself or doing the wrong things. Your answers are in this book.
Fully documented, it will suit perfectly in your training plan.
