BonnyBoy Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Hi, I've noticed since I've made changes to my diet to lose excess fat, that I've also noticed a great increase in fitness. I did my cardio for the first week, then I slacked off in the proceeding weeks and noticed the increase in fitness from that first week. I thought that with me slacking off on my cardio would have resulted in a decrease of fitness on the mats. Admittedly, I'm training 3-6x a week. So, my question is: does your diet play a major role in fitness? There are guys at training who train up to 6x a week, but they're still gassing out on the mats, but I know one of the purple belts maintains a really strict diet as well as doing cardio and he's rarely gassing out. There are always two choices, two paths. One choice is easy and its only reward is it's easy.It takes sacrifice to be the best.
