Weight Cuts Without the Drama (Raspberry Ape Podcast – Ep. 14)

You can make weight and still feel sharp. It’s not about suffering. It’s about timing and smart choices. On the Raspberry Ape Podcast we covered topics like;

Plan over weeks, not days

Start early. Use a small deficit so you hold strength. Keep protein high. Put most carbs near the toughest work. Your gas tank will thank you.

Sodium and water are not the enemy

They’re tools. Use them with a coach who understands combat sports. In fight week, controlled shifts can help the scale while you protect health and performance.

The post-weigh-in refeed

Fluids with electrolytes, easy carbs, lean protein, and a little fat. Use gut-friendly foods you already know. No heavy “hero” meals.
