This deserves a lot more views

Thanks dude. It will get there. Right now I'm simply enjoying sharing content. But I'll be pumped when I hit 10,000 subs.

Been watching your vids for years and having my first fight in 9 days so this was comforting to watch from you!

[@oldnewbieraver]

Wow your lighting and camera has gone to another level...you are really stepping it up!

[@gigastruggler7828]

Every video from Gabriel has helped me so much ,its crazy..Thnak you so much man..As a martial artist i appreciate your content so much!!Love from Greece

[@camiloquemero]

The help to the starting fighters is amazing, the weight cut video almost save my life 😅. Love from Argentina Gabriel

[@melvinteagai2437]

Right on Gabriel. This will help me out to keep good shape.

[@dylangrudem7]

As someone with IBS-M (basically just means I have a bad stomach and struggle with using bathroom and all that) I can say this would make me insanely constipated. Bananas are known for they're constipation effects, and peanut butter is very good just don't go overboard on it. Personally If I wanna cut weight I can just take a laxative and that gets out like Minimum of 5 lbs. Just saying this as a warning, before copying this, MAKE SURE YOUR BODY CAN.

[@cherryb0ng]

My heart skipped a beat when I saw you bring a bag of my local grocery store hahaha

[@joed2525]

would love to see you do videos showing you cooking, and preping. I would watch that.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I will be doing that soon. I'm moving and will have a nice kitchen to film in. I eat very healthy so I'm looking forward to hopefully motivating others to do the same.

[@alvarovaldivia7322]

Nice video champ, wonder what you eat after weight ins. Ive seen fightera eating pizza and mostly going crazy on food.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Good video idea! I keep it smart. Everything stays really healthy. I'll make that video.

[@elhefe4313]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial can you make the video?

great video! super helpful!

Can you make one that is what to eat and what to do when trying to move up a weight class

Please make for Amature fighter, because we often weight in on the next day

[@wingoreviewsboxingandmma3667]

I went to Milan for a fight before. I love it there

[@MrHeyeyeye]

Hi Gabriel, would you recommend this for an amateur fighter who will be fighting 2 days in a row and having same day weigh ins for both days? Would love to hear your thoughts!

[@stephenrolon5822]

Hey Gabriel what do recommend I eat once I make the weight ,I'm a Amateur Boxer , Once I make weight in the morning I fight later that same day in late afternoon

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Probably something that's normally in your diet and you feel strong after eating. I like a rice dish, bananas, granola bars, etc.

[@marvinho9787]

how much water do you cut champ? and i assume you do it by water loading?

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Got that coming in my next video. I'll break it all down.

[@jacthetripper5171]

Quality content as always.. respect to you sir

[@BT-ve5pv]

What's your thoughts on intermittent fasting or do you do the small meals throughout the day eating plan?

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I don't know too much about it. I eat whenever I'm hungry but stop when I'm satisfied. Don't eat until you're full. Don't starve yourself. Eat healthy food 99% of the time. Drink lots of water. That pretty much sums up my diet.

[@BT-ve5pv]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial Thanks

[@swordbae]

I know i'm super late 😓 but im not the biggest fan of peanut butter, is there an alternative that can provide the same nutritional benefits or should I just suck it up and eat peanut butter? 😩 everything else sounded delicious btw

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

You could use almond butter or one of the other alternatives. If I was staying away from all those I'd probably stick with some raw nuts.

[@venkateshh._]

For vegetarians what diet is there during weight cutting 6 days before fight

[@HigrationsMintergrund420]

Bro, I have a catchweight mma fight coming up at 150 lbs and the weigh in is in two days... I have literally just stuck to salmon, avocado and chicken and no salt etc... My weight is good and I just need to cut 6-7 more lbs but I'm getting sick of the food. How safe is it to eat bananas and prosciutto two days before weigh in and how much can I eat, because I'm worried about the carbs and the salt...

[@MuayThaiGuide]

how did it go?

[@alexmoka_]

Two stable items •Organic Peanutbutter •Tuna 1) chicken without skin 2) Proshiutto 3) avocado 4) salad (lettuce,cucumber)no flavors just balsamic 5) bananas apples 6) cheese 7) carbs no pasta or rice.. Conflex carbs (supplement)

[@06yangji]

How did you pick your tuna. If you were at Costco, which runs is best.

[@jondoh8956]

Thank you for this

[@deewhy7503]

Huge fan of yours Gabriel and excited to see you getting into MMA as well! Just was wondering if you weigh out your salads while cutting weight because you said you’d eat all of that in a day

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I get on the scale with my food so I never go heavier than I'm allowed. If I'm half a pound underweight where I want to be I eat some more salad and whatever else I'm having.

[@lohandesilva]

but I've seen MMA fighters eat fats and protein for weight cutting . load lot of water . then diet 24 hours without water or any food with sitting in sauna and hot bath

[@MONOEDITZ75]

Hey if anyone sees this . Im alergic to like 70% of this stuff . And only eat plants any suggestions

[@lukalovrek3096]

In glory after weigh in when you pass the scale can you eat and get kilos back like in ufc

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Yes. All the major promotions do weigh-ins at least 24 hours in advanced. Most of them are more like 30 hours so you can put on as much weight as you want.

[@mauricematla1215]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial Kind of defeats the point of weightclasses though... Put the guy on a scale immediately before the match. Did not meet it ? Sorry auto loose no pay.

[@theunknown1426]

I understand fighting is a serious business but I wanted to ask you have you seen any of master ken's ( Ameri-Do-Te) video's

[@adriansurdu]

What about snacks throughout the day!?

[@anthonyibarra9421]

Is watermelon okay to eat during fight week

[@hassanhasan5703]

how much protein are you intaking per day?

[@kcmacdonald]

Literally looking at all the same foods on my table wondering how I'm gonna cut 10lbs in three days 😅 glad I'm on the right track

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

1.5lbs per day with calorie drop. 1.5lbs over night on weight cut evening. 4lbs water cut. You are set.

[@kcmacdonald]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial Thank you much appreciated

[@veg9097]

U seem like a compassionate and rational person. You should look into the ethics of your diet and educate yourself about what goes on behind the industries that profit from the exploitation of animals. The amount of unnecessary violence farm animals have to endure for products we dont need is something people should be aware of. Hope you look into it, and fight for those animals who can't defend themselves.

[@nickkomen6210]

What do you eat the night before your fight?

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I like rice dices.

thabkyou so much!

[@kid.dynamite4918]

Thank you

[@joshualennart]

Your traps look big here, what did you do to get them like that?

[@aaronmichaelmusic_]

Barbell or dumbbell shrugs. Control the contraction and hold it a second or two at the top. If you can't do that its too heavy and you should go lighter until you can

[@sircampsalot2568]

How much peanut butter do you eat?

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Often a whole jar weight cut week.

[@omarcruz8774]

Thanks for the helpful information, I've never tried prosciutto and it looks delicious.

[@Jinnyjammywhammy]

wait wait wait wait...wait a minute...Varga eats?!

[@zickzack987]

How much do you cut?

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

5lbs through dieting and 3-5lbs with water.

[@zzzzzz69]

Shave some parmigiano or grana padano over that balsamic salad man, a little extra sodium but in tiny portions

[@zzzzzz69]

Oh just saw u have some pecorino romano already, while you're at it throw in some walnuts too

[@finny1694]

So I watch what I eat for the entire fight camp around 1800 calories with about 130-150 grams of protein. Then I shed the 5lbs 2-3 days out by eating high calories healthy food that’s light weight and low in sodium.

[@TheBobriss]

I wish I could say: My fight weight is this and my walk around weight is that… All I can say is my Always weight is FAT. Never budges :(

[@sluggensluggen5075]

That's a whole lot of plastic packaging!

[@StorageOnTheRunSanDiego]

Seems like you don't cut al ot because there is so many things wrong with this diet for weight cutting....

[@marvelleonline]

why even eat :) water fasting is too good

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Oh man. Without food for more than 5 hours I'd probably pass out. My body fat percentage is around 6% normally.

[@marvelleonline]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial oh man 6% is wild to me (I'm also not a world champ or even a pr fighter just a 34 year old health and fitness enthusiast). I definitely recommend you checkout Dorian Wilson's video on it, as well as anything fasting related from dr. Jason Fung. I've heard pro athletes can do OMAD (like a 2h window with up to 5000 calories) but it's definitely not for everyone. I do 48h fasts and day 2 of fasting you can really see the pounds fly lmao.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

@@marvelleonline All the different dieting methods are fascinating to learn about. I'd wouldn't make a 48 hour fast unless I was binge eating before. But I think it's all about researching and trying out what works best for you.

[@marvelleonline]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial I agree I always look at how I feel / felt doing something and keep what I think works best.

Bo Chen yeah he has a fast metabolism for sure

[@mauricematla1215]

Or, just compete in your actual wheight class.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

That would be great. Except that you are undersized. I'm already undersized for featherweight. 145lbs weigh-in. Walk at 155lbs Most 145ers walk between 160-180lbs (the larger ones are in MMA). I wish we'd weigh in right before the fight. I'd walk and fight at 155lbs. That would be smarter and safer for athletes.

[@mauricematla1215]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial What dou mean by undersized ? I mean you normally weigh around 155 155 falls in some kind of category right ? You wanna be 145 too avoid competing against bigger guy's ? Or the one's you should actually compete with depending on how you look at it. I understand why the weight classes. But the drawback for me is that the system is open for "messing" with. In the way that we see competitors loosing unhealthy amounts too fit in a "unnatural" class. Supposed athlethes looking actually quite unhealthy though muscular clearly to skinny medicly speaking. I am a Judo guy get the need but i feel the sytems in use are not cutting it. We see somethimes examples that are just crazy. In my eyes.

[@elir7184]

@@mauricematla1215 you got no clue what youre talking about. A no- weight-cut-system would definitely benefit gabriel, as he said, he's already undersized for his weight class. Which you didnt even know what that means. Very common terminology within combt sports. But no weight cut systems are not implemented in the organization he fights in. If he didnt cut any weight he would be fighting people potentially 20-30 lbs heavier than he is. That is an absolutely stupendously huge weight differential. You also might want to check yourself because you are some self proclaimed judo guy on the internet and you are literally trying to give advice to a bonafide world class level kickboxing champion.
