what's up guys?! Welcome back to my channel! it's your girl Nattie Boss -
registered dietitian, fitness coach and lifestyle coach of bodybyboss.com!
Today I'm bringing you a little bit of a life update as well as a project that
I'm working on it's a personal project I'm going to do something to challenge
my fitness last time I've done something like this was when I did bodybuilding
and I really haven't done anything to challenge myself since then so that's
what I am doing and I want to tell you all about it so for those who might not
know what Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is you can kind of think of MMA and whatever they
do on the ground is most likely some form of jiu-jitsu it's a grappling
martial art and I compete a lot in jiu-jitsu and specifically I compete at
a weight class known as featherweight and this is between 120 to 129 a lot of
you guys let me know that I walk around about 125 so this is the weight class
I've been doing for many years now but recently I had a super fight and when I
weighed in at my way into the night before I noticed I was 122 which is one
of the lightest weights I've been since my bodybuilding competition so I was
kind of it kind of sparked an interest in me and I was like maybe I should try
to do light feather for one of my next tournaments because I was already so
close so light feather is the weight class right underneath feather and that
is from don't quote me on this I'm not exactly sure I know I don't know where
it starts from maybe 108 or something like that but it ends at 118 and you
have to be 118 in your uniform known as your key and so I'm going to be trying
to cut to about 115 so I have that 3 pound weight for my G so this is going
to be a big challenge I've never had to cut this much weight before especially
being already super lean so it's going to be a challenge I already know that
and I'm going to make sure I do it in the most healthful way possible and
there is nothing that is more important to me than my health and wellness
physically and mentally so if I feel that I'm really struggling towards the
end and I might to do it then I am going to call off all
bats and I'm just going to fight in my feather weight class but I want to
attempt to do light feather and will do everything my power to do that I am
aiming for my world championship tournament which is in California the
end of May like May 30th - like June 3rd around that area
so I have over a month about maybe six weeks or so to cut seven pounds or so so
I know that I can do this I'm super excited for this journey and again I'm
gonna be a hangry girl because I'm gonna have to be cut in some foods but I am
excited to implement all of the tricks and tips and knowledge that I share with
you guys on my youtube channel on my Instagram and to put myself to the test
to do this I did the same thing with my bodybuilding competition and I'm excited
to do this for jujitsu why am I doing this I'm simply doing
this because like I said I wanted to challenge myself I haven't done it in a
while I've been basically got complacent I've been happy where I was at 125 but
you know I just wanted to add that little bit of an extra fitness challenge
since I was already weighing in out of the low weight it kind of gave me some
motivation that I didn't have that much to lose to really get to that goal of
115 so I quickly wanted to go over what are the methods I'm going to be using on
a kind of broad scale in both nutrition training supplements and just like
relaxation and recovery techniques let's start with nutrition you guys probably
know by now I'm plant-based I'm vegan so I'll be sticking to that way I am
definitely gonna be doing high protein high fat I am not counting calories by
any means I'm going to be intuitive but I'm going to eat lots of vegetables I'm
gonna make sure I get a variety of different vegetables in because I need
to get nutrients from all of those but I'm really excited about this this is
when I feel my best right now so I just I can't wait to just continue this and
to see where it takes me as far as my training I'll be training jiu-jitsu as
much as possible you know six days a week five days a week that's probably my
goal I do want at least one rest day it'll probably be a Saturday when it
comes to jiu-jitsu so that's my goal about five six days a week four digits
ooh and my cross-training is going to be lifting you guys know I love lifting so
that's not gonna stop I'm going to be shooting for four to five days of
lifting as long as possible and I'll start tapering that off as I get closer
to tournament so I can start to really recover and be at my ideal peak
performance for that tournament and as far as supplements is concerned I'm
going to be doing multivitamin as much as possible it's really hard for me to
stick to them I just I just really suck at like pill regimen I just I really
suck at them so I'm going to do trying to do a multivitamin as much as possible
especially when you are doing a cut and you're just even if you're eating all
the veggies in the world you're just not gonna get all the nutrients every single
new Trant and the amount that you need to
fuel your inside body as much as possible so multivitamins are super
essential especially when you're vegan I'm already at a basically a deficit
because it's harder to get nutrients that are more bioavailable so
multivitamin is a must as much as possible I'm going to be doing that and
some of my PPI supplements I'll be doing boom out my glutamine this is good for
recovery so I'll be sipping on this after my training after the gym things
like that also my branched chain amino acids from BPI sports so same thing
helps with maintaining that muscle mass as I begin as I continue to lose weight
it's gonna come to a point where I'm going to have such low body fat some of
my muscle is probably going to be sacrifice and this is gonna help
minimize that as much as possible so I will be sipping on this literally all
the time to make sure that my body is constantly getting those amino acids so
it can continue to build muscle and one I didn't bring because it's at the gym
and CLA and carnitine which is a fat loss nam stimulant powder from BPI
sports my favorite supplement especially the flavor of snowcone but that just
helps to convert any fat in your body to energy so being on a keto style diet
being high protein high fat that's going to help enhance that process so those
are the supplements I'll be taking if anything changes I will definitely let
you know but the last thing we're gonna cover before I wrap up this video I know
it's getting a little long but I just wanted to like update you on this
project and by the way this is called project light feather so every time I
hashtag this it's going to be in relation to this so if you're interested
in following along this journey make sure that you stay tuned for project
like their videos and hashtags and things like that but lastly how I'm
going to enhance my recovery not only will I be doing the glutamine supplement
but I am going to make sure that I get massages very frequently when you're
putting it under a lot of stress but I'm doing two days at the gym and eating you
know it's a deficit of calories I have to kind of I have to take care of my
body in a different way so that it doesn't
feel like it's under constant stress and massaging can help to do that
I may try cryotherapy or things like that that'll probably later in the month
before closer to the tournament but I'll keep you posted on that and the second
thing I'll be doing is CBD oil this is great great great for any pains and
aches that any athlete or anybody has I seriously highly recommends to be de oil
and in addition to just reducing the aches and pains from training all the
time which are going to be inevitable they it helps to decrease inflammation
in the body as a whole so less inflammation means my recovery time is
going to be better which means I'll be able to perform at
my best so guys this is an overview of what I'll be doing for project like
feather if this is something of interest to you make sure you comment what you'd
be interested in me sharing over the next few months or so as far as recipes
or workouts what's your interest I want to know comment below don't forget to

next video thanks for watching guys
