Dieting for wrestling

When someone thinks of diet, they think of loosing weight or eating right so they can feel better or just to look good. For wrestlers dieting is how they survive. They either diet to gain or loose weight.A reason for this is because they want to succeed in a certain weight class. for example; if a wrestler weights 128 pounds he could either wrestle 125lbs or 130lbs, but I he wants to; he could also drop weight to wrestle 119lbs or even 112lbs. this is not healthy if you don’t have much fat to loose, but it’s the choice that a lot of wrestlers tend to make. They think that by going a weight class lower they can beat the opponent quicker, and win more.The healthy and right thing to do is to not loose more then 5 to 6 pounds. It is better to eat right so you can have energy. Do not eat as many fats and crabs. Eat fruit, vegetables, lots of fluids (pop and energy drinks are very bad) and to stay fit. This way you are the healthy one, have energy, and strength to earn that win.
