Water Snack: 10:00 1. protein bar Lunch: 12:00 1. tuna (1 can) 2. salad with fat free dressing oz. Water 4. ½ cup brown rice Snack: 2:30 1. nonfat yogurt 1 cup Dinner: 6: chicken breast 2. 1 cup vegetables 3. Bed Time: 9: oz. Water

3 Sample Diet Day 2 Breakfast: 7: egg whites 2. 1 cup wheat/ grain cereal 3. 4 oz. Skim milk oz. Water Snack: 10: cup nonfat cottage cheese, apple butter (1 tbsp.) Lunch: 12:00 1. Turkey ¼ lb slices whole wheat bread 3. 1 slice fat free cheese oz. Water Snack: 2:30 1. protein bar Dinner: 6: oz. Steak (London Broil) 2. 1 cup steamed vegetables 3. Bed Time: 9:30 16 oz.

Bed Time: 9:30 16 oz. Water

4 Phase 2: SHORT TERM IMMEDIATE WEIGHT LOSS Everything / anything (fluids / solids) will show up on the scale! 16 oz. (solid / liquid) = 1 lb! Weigh your food! Your body will naturally drift 1/8 lb per hour without taking in any fluids / solids Therefore, in 8 hours you will naturally lose 1 lb. 24 hours = 3 lbs. This does not account for any waste you may be producing (this is extra weight lost a bonus!) DEHYDRATION =>This is the last 24 hours ONLY! If you do this longer your performance will be greatly diminished AND this will be a detriment to your health and your success on the mat! FASTING => This is strongly discouraged as well. Missing a meal is OK, however it is better to EAT and then work out more, than it is to fast for an entire day! Remember train to become a better wrestler; NOT to lose weight! If you are training hard, you will lose water weight on your own. Working out more often will help you make weight easier as well as help you get into better shape. Fasting and starving yourself will do the OPPOSITE! Weigh Management / Hydration testing preparation Wrestlers: The following are tips that will help wrestlers report to body fat testing properly hydrated. What should I do several weeks in advance of certs: The minimum amount of aerobic activity necessary to benefit from efficient fat loss is 30 minutes of high activity three times a week. If you are attempting to get your body to the 7% body fat level in order to be a champion, you should do something to maintain strength/conditioning that burns calories every day. Reaching your minimum weight should be planned in advance so that you are only required to lose 2 pounds a week, maximum.

5 Tips: Eat, but eat well. And drink lots of water. Learn the difference between simple s and complex s, and read the ingredients too (sugars are simple s) If you lose it slow it will stay off longer, if you lose it fast it will come right back If you like soda or chocolate, allow yourself one every once in awhile but cut it 36 hours before competition Trick Snacks Celery, Ice Cubes, Peanut Butter (sensibly), Mustard, Egg Whites Foods to avoid: Carbonated Drinks (I know this is not a food) Chips Candy Cake Ice-cream Fried foods Excessive amounts of white bread Judy Nelson, Nutrition Coordinator for the United States Olympic Committee has developed a Ten Step Diet for Wrestlers. Here are the basics: 1) Switch to skim: An 8 ounce glass of skim milk has 36 fewer calories and 4.3 fewer fat grams then 2% 2) Lots of fruit: And the variety of fruit is an important factor 3) Juice over soda: Soda offers nothing of value and robs the liver of stored glycogen (energy) 4) Baked potatoes: Eat the skin, leave out the extras, add water, and you get an easy complex meal 5) Maintain variety and remove the junk: no one food will supply all of your needs 6) Lots of water: During the season you should be drinking +60 ounces of water (5 bottles) a day 7) The secret of egg whites: They have good protein and no fat; good protein makes you feel full longer 8) High fiber is important: Find a low-sugar cereal that lists at least 3 grams of fiber per serving on label 9) Don t rely on meat: Meat is fine, but include beans, dairy, and soy products for variety 10) Plan for after weigh-in: Foods with fat digest slowly; try applesauce, crackers, and cereal

6 Two days prior to test day: Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day, (water has no calories) Athletes should be drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water during the day Increase intake of foods high in fiber- this will help with the removal of excess waste from the body. (salads, cereal with skim milk, vegetables, fruits, etc. are examples of foods high in fiber Eat smaller, more frequent meals AVOID FOODS HIGH IN FAT (fried foods, fatty meats, French fries, pizza, nuts, salad dressing, etc.) AVOID SALTY foods (potato chips, pretzels, pizza, tuna, crackers, soft drinks, sports drinks) Be sure that you eat and drink, do not dehydrate!!! One day before test: Continue drinking fluids, you should be urinating on a frequent basis. Urine should be clear if you are fully hydrated, drink ounces of a sport drink along with water Eat smaller, but more frequent meals. Continue eating fibrous food, to eliminate excessive waste from body Fatty foods/ snacks will stay in your body- - STAY AWAY! Day of Test: Eat small portions, eat a very light lunch (if afternoon testing) Eat lighter foods such as fruits, grains, etc Continue to drink water and NOTHING ELSE Do not drink salty drinks such as Soda, Gatorade, Powerade, etc. This will cause you to retain fluids Urinate as frequently as possible throughout the day until two-hours prior to test time Use the bathroom (#2) before the test Please be ready to urinate for hydration test Tricks of the Trade how the pro s get certed where they want to get certed. Get down to 3 under drink up with nothing but water wake up have 24 oz of water. then work out but DON T pee. When its time to cert, pee a bit let the yellow out in the toilet and then put the rest of the pee in the cup
