Today I am joined by TFD Dietitan’s Jack Doherty and Ryan Hasell and we are talking about why athletes go to such extremes when it comes to weight cutting. 

The weight-cutting problem in combat sports is serious and as it stands right now, we really don’t have a good solution. We’ve seen rule changes applied over the world really to avail, no matter what the hurdle is, athletes, seem to find a way to jump over it. 

So what is the solution? Before we get to that we need to better understand the athlete we are trying to change and that is what we are going to discuss today. If you work, study, or have anything to do with combat athletes, this should be an interesting listen.
