Conor McGregor’s dietitian ought to be the one to be able to advise you on how to curb your sugar cravings.
His name is George Lockhart, and he is a nutrition specialist advising top sporting heroes on what they can or can’t eat.
That’s why when it comes down to kicking your sugar habit once and for all it stands to reason that he is a man to trust.
Many resources raise an arguable statement that the white substance is more addictive than cocaine in every aspect and it’s pretty hard to quit.
We’ve been getting tons of questions about this lately. People who work out every day at the gym are stuck at home without equipment and don’t want to lose their progress. With no end in sight for the quarantine, especially in order to combat poor eating habits at home, people are trying to put together home gyms in order to maintain their progress, or prevent gaining fat/losing muscle mass. There are a few challenges though…
This video on YouTube will help you with some recommendations/tips for cardio equipment at home. To summarize part of it, look for less commercial pieces that don’t have a ton of moving parts or electronic components, such as a Schwinn Airdyne or Indoor Cycling Bike, such as the ones we have (below) in our home gym.
We know that it has probably been really challenging for you to adapt to major changes since this pandemic really took off. Some of us are more impacted than others, but most of our readers from major cities don’t have access to gyms because of mandated closures. That is, however, no excuse to let you goals and level of fitness fail. There are countless trainers out there, who can’t work right now, making amazing content for both their followers and the rest of the public. Here are a few that have been putting out amazing workouts with little to no equipment, for even longer than the quarantine.

MMA fitness is a different level of fitness, one which brings out a variety of benefits. Wondering why you should participate in MMA workouts? Here are 7 reasons to do so.
There was a lot of controversy surrounding the finish of the first fight, but that really isn’t the case for the rematch. As we mentioned two days ago in our prediction, anything can happen when it comes to boxing, especially heavyweight boxing. I said that the second least likely finish behind a Wilder win by decision was a Fury finish, but Tyson walked into that ring with a point to prove. He is the greatest heavyweight of this era.
This is a fight that I’ve been waiting for, but at the same time, I don’t want to happen. Why? You have two of the best boxers in the world who are the two best heavyweight boxers. Joshua lost his claim with his loss to Ruiz and his rematch actually removed him further from that conversation. How? His mystique of greatness had been entirely taken away from him. His confidence was shook to the core and the whole world saw it. While he outboxed Ruiz, Joshua lost confidence in his ability as a fighter, which is why he changed his style so dramatically.
That is not the case with these two.
They both still have that shroud of greatness over them and when someone falls tomorrow, they’ll lose that aura. Sure, it will leave us with one undisputed champion of the world, but one of the greatest boxing personalities of the past decade will surely begin to fade away. Now, obviously, that all depends on the finish. While anything can happen in a boxing match, especially a heavyweight boxing match, I’d say that this fight ends one of two ways, 9 out of 10 times.
Wilder by KO.
or
Fury by decision.
Deontay is my favorite boxer in the world. Currently, with GSP’s inactivity, he is my favorite fighter in the world. He is exactly that… a fighter. I’ll quickly admit that Fury is a better boxer, but Deontay’s knockout power is on an entirely different level. I’m shocked that Fury rose in the 12th in their last fight. It almost seemed like some form of divine intervention, but lightning doesn’t strike twice. If Deontay floors him again, he won’t get up, especially with an extra 20 lbs of pure muscle packed on his frame. If, however, Fury has an absolutely flawless fight and avoids any knockout punches, he will absolutely beat him by decision, probably somewhere around 9 rounds to 3, or so.
Again, anything can happen, but they’d probably need to fight 20 times before Fury knocks out Deontay. They’d probably need to fight 40 times before Deontay beats Fury by decision, especially with Fury looking in such great shape. Deontay could knock him out at any point, but I think somewhere around the 9th or 10th round is most likely. Fury’s conditioning looks good, but a certain level of fatigue is inevitable and just like in the Ortiz rematch, it only takes a second. Deontay will wait a whole fight for one second.
Either way, I’ll recognize the winner of this fight as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Joshua would be looking up to them, not the other way around. That does, to some degree, depend on the nature of the finish but as I mentioned, I don’t see many outcomes other than those two. Sure, you can argue that despite standing Fury shouldn’t have been allowed to continue in the last fight but Jack Reese probably made the right call there, especially with Fury outboxing him the whole match. I was alright with the draw decision, but it certainly shouldn’t happen again.
I hope Deontay wins, but it really is 50/50 going into the fight, in terms of who will win. That is heavyweight boxing. I think Fury would have an easier time continuing his career with a loss than Deontay would because his legacy is stronger. Deontay needs this win by KO and then a win by KO over Joshua to really push himself into that upper echelon of heavyweight boxing names. His knockout percentage might be the best of all time, but he really needs more wins over bigger names.
It’d be nice if the rest of the card was a bit more exciting, but I’d gladly pay for the PPV just for this main event.

At this point, you have may have read a lot of articles on losing weight. Perhaps you are in a situation now that you do not know which is the right advice to follow. Maybe you have also visited many workout centers to rid yourself off the extra pounds, but you still feel as if you are not there yet.
Well, the journey of losing weight is a tough one and requires lots of dedication and determination to finally see the results. Look no further by enrolling at Muay Thai camp in Thailand. It is a state-of-the-art facility that has dedicated itself to offer world-class weight loss training.
But first, here are the things to be aware of beforehand.
Structured Workout Plan
Losing weight is not an easy task as it requires strong will, top-level dedication and undeterred focus. Ever set out on a mission to lose weight but ended up not fulfilling it due to lack of consistency? Well, at Muay Thai, that is not on offer.
With the structured workout schedule, you will be sure to achieve your end goal without fear of being inconsistent. Each day on the camp you will be engaged with doing workouts. The schedule offers a range of activities that include running, weightlifting, swimming, kickboxing and stretching among others that you carry out under the guidance of an onsite trainer.
The camp’s schedule allows you to book a stay for any duration you want. For instance, you can book for a week’s training and still achieve your weight loss goal.
It’s A Fun and Enjoyable Experience
At Muay Thai, keeping fit is all about having a good time. If you are not working out, you can get to enjoy yourself with other trainers at the camp’s other facilities. The center is fitted with excellent facilities including a large court where you can play hoop or basketball, TV rooms for watching films and a lap swimming pool.
All the facilities are aimed to ensure that fitness ambiance is felt all through. Also, there is a 24-hour internet Wi-Fi service and cable TV. During your stay at the camp, you will also get to make new friends and enjoy the enchanting natural landscape. With all that on offer, losing weight becomes less monotonous and unexciting.
Healthy Diet on Offer
When it comes to losing weight, it is not all about working out continuously, but also watching what you eat. Diet plays an integral role in ensuring that you maintain a healthy body weight. Cut off processed foods and start eating a healthy and balanced diet.
The aim is to cut on carbs and sugars which are the primary triggers of body weight issues. At Muay Thai camp in Thailand, you will be guaranteed to eat healthy foods that are a mix of healthy Thailand and Western cuisines that are cooked to workout requirements.
Typically, the food is cooked to bring maximum weight loss within a short time. On top of that, ensure that you keep yourself hydrated throughout the sessions as water also plays an integral part in weight loss. Failure to hydrate appropriately will affect your training sessions. The camp has plenty of water.

No one likes to think about the idea of being attacked, but the reality is that, according to the FBI, a violent crime is committed every 26.3 seconds in America, with one aggravated assault every 41.3 seconds. These numbers aren’t intended to scare you — though they are indeed alarming — but should instead help you understand why preparation and vigilance are vital in our sometimes threatening world.
One of the simplest ways to conquer a frightening situation is to learn some key self-defense tactics that you can file away in your mental rolodex if a situation should arise.
Improve your cardio with this intense boxing workout
Back in the day, when my coach asked me to spell the word “hell,” all I said was: C A R D I O.
If my coach asked me to spell that word today, I would do the exact same thing. All jokes aside, cardio is one of the hardest things to do in any type of sport.
If you are an athlete then you know what I mean by that. You spend hours upon hours working on your cardio. Many people, including my early self, asked the question: WHY? Why would you spend time working on cardio when you can invest that time to work on actual skill and power?
Well, the answer is quite simple. You won’t be able to showcase your skill or your power if you don’t have the stamina and durability. Your body will fail you!
To be honest, cardio is one of the most important things in sports, especially boxing. There were phenomenal fighters who were better than their opponents but they lost because they ran out of energy, or simply, “gassed out”! That’s why boxers (and other MMA fighters) are in incredible shape.
With that being said, it doesn’t matter what your sport is, cardio is a necessity! This article will show you how you can use boxing as an excellent way of improving your cardio.
There are more fitness facilities in LA than anyone would ever want to count. When I managed a very large fitness facility in West Los Angeles, we had dozens of significant competitors in walking distance. It was brutal and trying to offer the same classes that these specialized locations hosted was a massive challenge. With such an impressive selection, there isn’t ever going to be a consensus best “gym in LA” or anything along those lines, but there are certainly places that are undisputed gems.
We’ve talked about, on the blog or in person, some of the best deals in LA. Whether that means off-the-wall places like Tempest, amazing communities such as Barbell Brigade, cost-free natural selections including the Santa Monica Rings/Runyon Canyon or the unmatched intensity you’ll find at Gold’s Venice, LA has something for everyone. As Hungry & Fit, we do, however, need to give an edge to the facility that we personally use. Obviously, that says a lot about a place.
Since we do fairly well and are fiscally responsible, we don’t limit ourselves to budget options/chains including 24 Hour Fitness, LA Fitness, Planet Fitness and the YMCA (though we do love the Y!). We prefer to pay more and avoid dealing with people who aren’t serious about their training; we don’t want to fight people who are on their phone while sitting on equipment. Also, we like to avoid budget options since they often have higher traffic; we don’t want to wait for equipment, in order to keep our workout intensity higher.
