Obesity is our nation’s number one health problem, according to Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson.
To avoid joining the “Fat Cat Club,” people nationwide are becoming exercise addicts and gulping low-carb diets.
Healthy weight control is an especially acute concern for the more than thousands of wrestlers in high schools and colleges throughout the country.
If Frank Johnson eats a double bacon cheeseburger and supersized fries, that decision may bump him up into a higher wrestling weight class where he’ll experience tougher competition and end up losing a match he might have won at his optimal weight level.
The average adult tolerates a five to 10 point fluctuation in weight without undue concern. Not so for wrestlers, where a one to two pound variation is a high stakes proposition.
Nobody understands how diet and weight control affects championship performance more than Nicholas Rizzo, a Chicago physician, Clinical Instructor of Medicine, and wrestling coach.
Dr. Rizzo observes “Successful wrestlers are very knowledgeable about healthy lifestyles. They understand how to lose and maintain their weight. They know how to burn calories while keeping crucial body nutrients. And they recognize health choices on restaurant menus.”
At the urging of the medical community and wrestling coaches, Rizzo has compiled hundreds of time-tested weight control tips in his book, Championship Nutrition and Performance: the Wrestler’s Guide to Lifestyle, Diet and Healthy Weight Control.
For instance, Coach Rizzo tells you how to determine your minimum wrestling weight and appropriate weight class as well as maintain that weight during and after the wrestling season.
Beyond 70 plus pages of topical wrestling tips, Rizzo includes 14 bonus sections that deal with the inevitable bumps and bruises that wrestlers commonly encounter: cauliflower ear, muscle cramps, nosebleeds, ringworm, herpes, skin care, and sprains and strains.
