So, I saw this thing about Tyson Fury, the boxer, you know? And I got curious about how he stays in shape. Turns out, he had a pretty rough patch after that fight with Wilder where it was a draw. Dude ballooned up, and I was like, “How’s he gonna come back from that?”
Then I found out he had this whole plan, a three-fight plan before he retired. But the interesting part wasn’t just the fights, it was how he got back into fighting shape. He’s a big guy, 6’9″, so he needed a serious diet plan. And that’s what I started to dig into.
Getting Started
First, I looked up what he was eating. They call it a “dirty keto” diet. Sounds weird, right? But basically, it’s a low-carb, high-fat diet, but not super strict like regular keto. I started by cutting down on carbs – bread, pasta, all that good stuff. It was tough, man, I love my carbs.
The Nitty-Gritty
- Swapped out regular meals for high-fat, low-carb options. Think lots of meat, cheese, and some veggies.
- Started eating more frequently, but smaller portions. I think it was like five or six meals a day.
- Drank a ton of water. Like, a lot. I was always carrying a water bottle around.
Making it Work
Honestly, it wasn’t easy. I had to plan my meals ahead of time. No more grabbing whatever’s convenient. I spent a lot of time in the kitchen, prepping food. But I started to see changes. I felt more energetic, and I could see the weight coming off.
Keeping it Up
I stuck to the diet for a good while. It wasn’t always fun, and I definitely missed some of my favorite foods. But I kept reminding myself of Fury’s comeback. If he could do it, so could I, right?
In the end, I didn’t become a heavyweight champion or anything, but I did lose some weight and felt better overall. It was a cool experiment, trying to follow in the footsteps of a boxing champ, even just a little bit. And hey, I learned a thing or two about discipline and how what you eat really affects how you feel. Maybe not everyone needs to go full “dirty keto,” but it’s definitely food for thought, you know?
