Just wondering if anyone recommends a particular brand products within that brand for hard training mma (jiu jitsu, kickboxing and general weights) reasons would be really appreciated.

Honestly you can do just fine without.

Most people take supplements for quicker recovery for training. Not because it actually makes you better at the actual sport itself.

For Pre-training, I usually go with Cytosport’s Fast Twitch.it’s about 70 calories per serving, with 15 grams of carbs. It has a bunch of crap to help your metabolism supposedly, and is supposed to help fast twitch fiber growth. Generally there are people far more scientific about it than I am. I know Fast Twitch helps me get through a workout with more energy, that I don’t gas out half way through. Mind you a lot of that probably has to do with the fact you drink half before, then another half during, and various caffeine type chemicals within it. But to me it does help. It has a form of creatine in it and it does help a good bit with recovery.

I am less scientific in regards to post workout protein. I go with fairly cheap brands ensuring that they are whey protein, relatively low in calories and very low in carbs. Since I normally drink protein at least twice a day that is somewhat important to me.

I take a good multivitamin, a good B-Complex, and that is about it.
I have tried Gensing, Fish Oil, Flax seed, and all that stuff. I haven’t noticed a difinitive difference with that stuff over a long period of time. I am constantly experimenting with some sort of supplement like this. So who knows.

Most of the guys I train with are about the same. Keep in mind supplements are expensive, for me to justify using something I have to see definitive results.

Most of the crap out there won’t really give you a major difference with or without it, a good preworkout drink like Stacker or something of that nature is good, ensuring you taking in something like Whey Protein or a fast absorbing protein post workout is what you need.

Don’t waste your time with anything more than 30grams of protein at a time as your body can’t metabolize more than that.

A good diet is pretty much all you really need.

Supplement wise most of it is gimmick, somethings help, somethings are just there because they sound great. For me, I want something I can see and feel a difference with, so most of the hype around things I tend to stay away from.

One thing I would keep away from if you truly plan on training for MMA, is anything that is "thermogenic" what this means is it raises your body’s core temperature to make you burn fat faster, and increase your metabolism. While this does help to a small degree, your chances of burning yourself out or causing a heat related injury are much higher and not really worth what gain you get from it.

You can go with a good diet eating at least 6 times a day and greatly increase your metabolism without taking something that makes you feel like a pig roasting even when it is snowing outside.

Good luck.

Oh…

http://www.bodybuilding.com has some good forums about supplements, so does http://www.subfighter.com

Their website also shows they are the official supplement of MTX MMA. They have some good fighters too. Their products got a different look, but how is specific to MMA? …and does it work?

They are based in Atlanta and from their site, they distinguish themselves as MMA specific because their products are not intended for 250+ pound weightlifters like BSN, Xyence and the other over-marketed, overpriced products!

I have not tried the product yet but plan on doing so next month (after I use up what I am taking now to fight).

If you dig a little deeper into the site you will see that they put their products in pouches which is good "Green" thing to do these days. They also have www.teambrawl.com which is built specifically for fighters to help them get sponsorships, fights, representation, discounts to their products, and etc.

I’ve never heard how it works, but the diabetic in my family swears that it does. He just uses a heaping spoonful of plain ground cinnamon from the grocery store on his cereal every morning.

I found something about the study that was done at http://diabetes.about.com/od/whatsonthehorizon/qt/cinnamon.htm — please note that cinnamon does NOT show any benefits for people with Type 1 dabetes, only with Type 2. The article doesn’t really explain HOW the cinnamon works, just that it does.

Meal Planning Exchange Lists

Newly expanded and updated meal planning exchange lists have been published by The American Dietetic ociation and the American Diabetes ociation. The meal planning exchanges are available through your registered dietitian or diabetes educator. While the basis for meal planning calculations remains the same, lists have been grouped to allow more flexibility in choosing foods. Many foods have been added to this revision, reflecting the interest in reduced fat food products, vegetarian food products, and fast foods. The booklet emphasizes the importance of label reading, and provides valuable label reading tips.

A greater variety of commonly consumed foods
Carbohydrate counts for each food
Portion weights in ounces
Reduced fat or fat-free foods
Vegetarian alternatives
Fast foods
Very lean meats
Saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fats.
Meal planning lists added
Other Carbohydrates – provides meal planning exchange information for cakes, pies, puddings, etc. Foods from this list can be substituted for foods from the Starch, Fruit, or Milk lists. Some foods on the Other Carbohydrate Lists will also count as one or more fat choices.
Very Lean Meat and Meat Substitutes – provides meal planning information for types of poultry, fish, shellfish, game, cheese, and other meats and substitutes that contain 0 – 1 grams of fat and 35 calories per ounce. Cooked dried beans, peas, or lentils count as one very lean meat and one starch exchange.

Meal planning lists grouped

Carbohydrate Group – contains the Starch, Fruit, Milk, Other Carbohydrates, and Vegetable lists. This new grouping will allow for more convenient exchange among these meal planning lists, allowing more flexibility in choosing foods.
Meat and Meat Substitute Group – contains the Very Lean, Lean, Medium-fat, and High-fat meat and substitute lists. A greater variety of substitutes and leaner options are now available.
Fat Group – contains the Monounsaturated, Polyunsaturated, and Saturated Fats lists. The type of fat consumed can now be more carefully planned, and a wider variety of fats are listed.
