So i restrict myself from the unhealthy foods for weeks and then usually end up binge eating for a week or two and i end up being back up to 66kg quickly.
One thing i noticed is that i became way too obsessive with losing weight and was loving the feeling of losing weight everyday so i was getting too light which i have stopped doing at past competitions, and then on the other hand, i was getting obsessed with foods that i could eat after competition and binge eating also made me feel unhealthy.
How do you think you would feel being at 240lbs and competing in heavyweight competitions? Because I know guys like John Jones who stay around 225lbs competing in light heavyweight classes, even though he's spoken about being heavyweight one day.
Also, let me just say this while we're on the subject of weight classes: I think it's stupid how the UFC doesn't have super heavyweight classes because then guys like Brock Lesnar could compete at 290lbs or more. If you're at 135lbs, then that means you're competing in a Bantamweight competition. So, you're basically going back and forth from Bantamweight to Featherweight.
