MMA Fighter Supplements

Hey, I’m starting up a diet Tuesday when i renew my gym membership and Im fine on the exercise part Just need help on the diet part.

What im looking for in the diet is not really to gain muscle mass, im looking to just tone down and slim up. I actually need to get as flexible as I can, because here shortly I plan to start training for MMA, im not interested in gaining muscle on top of muscle I just need to slim down and get my body fat % low

also are there any supplements or pills I should be taking?

you can ge all the supplements you need from food if you eat healthy but if you wold like to include supplements you can try one a day for men/women. If eating health is your first choice then egg whites chicken breast salmon fish and shrimp are some high protien sources and veggies like broccoli spinach salads and beans are some top of the list vegetables. nuts low fat milk cheese olive oil low fat low salt popcorn and corn chips are a few snacks that you can have in moderation at lest 1 serving a day.

Lately, I’ve had a pretty bad breakout of acne (especially on my cheeks). My Dad says that Zinc is a natural acne fighter that could alleviate my acne.

I have been using Purpose soap on my face for a while now, and I’m watching what I eat (little chocolate, eat junk foods sparingly). Also, I hardly ever go out to eat, so I very very seldom eat fast food. So, I should be doing fine.

Most of my friends around my age seem to have gotten over their acne when they were around 14, so I thought it was odd that I’m having another breakout of acne when I’ll be turning 17 next year.

Would Zinc supplements be enough to cure my acne? I was trying to get my Dad to take me to a dermatologist and get the expert’s treatment, but he doesn’t trust them. I honestly trust the dermatologist’s opinion over my Dad’s, since he has no experience with treating something like this. He’s also never had acne as bad as mine, so he wouldn’t know.

So I’d like an opinion from someone here on Yahoo Answers, and if you happen to be a dermatologist or even someone who has had successful acne treatment then that would be great!
lol my Dad still wouldn’t trust that Agency’s opinion. He’s so Anti-government that he wouldn’t give a flip what they say about acne treatment.

If you currently have outbreaks and zits all over, you may use zinc supplements to alleviate what you are going through. Zinc can help heal your blemishes, reduce the inflammation, and reduce the androgenic effect of hormones on your skin. Thus, if you want your pimples to heal faster, taking some zinc supplements may be a good idea.

There are two widely used forms of zinc supplements for acne that you can choose from: zinc gluconate and zinc oxide. Zinc gluconate acne. Research studies have shown that taking about 200 milligrams a day orally (corresponding to only about 30 mg of effective zinc) is effective in reducing acne inflammation due to zinc’s action on inflamed cells and granulocytes. Zinc oxide for acne. Topical application of acne on the affected areas can reduce the production of sebum and oils on the area and can accelerate the healing of your zits.

Chelating zinc for acne skin is seen to be more effective in terms of zinc absorption. Vitamins are usually absorbed by our body easily, but when it comes to minerals such as zinc, there are many factors in our body that seem to interfere with zinc absorption such that only about 30-40% are effectively utilized. The word ‘chelated’ means that the zinc mineral is combined with an amino acid to enhance better absorption. Chelated zinc forms are usually more expensive, but it is of course more effective than regular zinc forms.

i turned 16 n august n im training how2 become a proffessional fighter with my older brother (22) jimmy, well hes just a great fighter and pushs me when we spar, i also have a punching bag and i learned all the right techniques now im working on deading nerves in my knuckles and shin n stuff, i just moved2 the east side of el paso but the north east is what made me move, entire gangs were trying to jump ME im 5′9 n 115 pounds plus im white so they were just being dumb, its mainly because 2 of my brothers walked out n so did my best friend but n e ways thats what made me really start working out so i can actually BE better than them not just think i am, some other dude in a gang over at my new school tried calling me white boy n punking me n front of every1 than noticed im not running away n hes like alright after school white boy!! than he ran up behind me after school and pushed me n front of everyone and said U GOT SUMTHIN2 TO SAY WHITE BOY!! n i just stuck him n tha jaw n he stumbled than threw a gay lil punch at me n i dodged it n rocked him again (he lost a tooth n his nose is broken) n every1 n tha entire school is terrified of this kid n hes nothing at all so…im not trying2 sound cool but i know i can fight good compared2 kids my age i jus got bak from the vitamin shop with N.O.XPLODE or sumthin (its a pre-workout supplement thing UFC fighters use) and im going to work out like crazy from now on seeing as how i only weigh 120 now (i run ALOT to btw) i like2 smoke weed tho…i usually smoke alll day but now that i moved with my step parents i dnt rlly hav2 im happy here i have great food, drinks, clothes everything i need at my old house i didnt. My step parents thnk i work out2 much as it is, but thats just stupid i have2 many muscles in my body2 workout in 1-2 days even if i did it all day but anyways….i thnk i dont work hard enough…lyoto machida has been training since he was 3…that shows me i alrdy screwed up by starting at 16 thats why i want to take it to another level because how late i am i actually do wanna be tha best and if i have to start working now thats fine, but theres so much other stuff like reading…i HATE reading but i know i hav2 in order to get threw college

My question is, should working out be my main focus even over school?? should i workout litterally as much as possible?
Or should i focus on school, reading, boring crap like that along with exercising?? like whats more important? either way imma do both but which is more realistic? can i really be an MMA fighter? or should i settle with being a normal old college student? please help…this is my life im talking about here i need as much help as possible

In my humble opinion, you need to concentrate on school work. The reason is this: the professional fighter’s career expectancy is just about the same as the professional ballet dancer’s. You can do it until your body gives out, provided you are lucky enough to be able to make a living doing it. Then, if you are still fit enough, you can teach it to other people.

If you don’t have any education, you don’t have any options. You are either a champ or a bum. It’s a very competitive world out there, even if you get a good education. There is less every year available to those without one.

I’m glad you are brave and can give as good as you get, but you are a really skinny guy. Do you have other sports such as baseball that you can do well? I am asking because you seem dedicated, and you may be able to get a scholarship to college if you combine schoolwork and success in a sport. It can even be track & field.

My brother was also a tall skinny guy in high school, same build as you. His sport was wrestling. He was really good. He wrestled in the 100-lb class (had to stop eating basically before a match to make weight). If someone wanted to pick on him, he would challenge them to meet him on the wrestling mat! He wasn’t a great student either, but he kept up with the work and went to college.

You have a few more years to grow and develop. Keep working out, but keep studying too.

I heard that Milk Thistle is good for purifying the liver. What are other good remedies (herbal supplements/pills/drinks etc..) for purifying the body from alcohol abuse quickly?
