- Before becoming a champion I always wanted to know what K-1 MAX fighters were eating to fuel their body. It only seems fair that I now share with everyone what much of my diet consists of.
Remember to build your own healthy diet based on what your body needs. For me these 5 favourite foods seem to work great.

1:59 avocado and rice crackers - every single day
3:07 smoothie - every single day
4:41 cottage cheese in cantaloupe / apple/ grapes
5:49 Sushi (tuna/shrimp/ salmon ) - 3/4 times a week in the evening

*These are what Gabriel Varga's go-to, not necessarily meeting your taste*
This episode is so enjoyable.
I eat chicken, fish, yams, spinich, and rice commonly.
One thing I see many, many people overlook is sleep and eating right. I've talked to so many people who say they get like only 4 to 3 hours of sleep and work like 12 hours a day. Then they eat fast food. My heart. It's just so sad.
tip for you: peel the bananas before u freeze them
Good tip hanz
I just microwave the banana if it’s too frozen
It took me a while to understand what he was talking about. Who freezes bananas in peel?
@@rico14 🤣🤣
Oh - I should mention - keep in mind - Gabriel may eat many times a day but it is something to see as it may be a little plate with a 1/4 of an avocado, a couple teaspoons of cottage cheese and 2-3 rice crackers. He has eaten like that since being a very young teenager. Many very small meals spread through out the day and he has the ability to say " I may not be full - but that is enough" and stop.
Such lovely community, martial arts give me a reason to live.
Hi Gabriel! I have my first fight coming up and these have videos have definitely leveled me up as a fighter. I just wanted to thank you for the awesome content.
good luck bro ive got my first fight next month too
@@mightymouse652 Thank you very much and good luck to you too
One of the few YT channels I know when any video comes out its worth watching!
Great video!
My 5 favourites would be oats, rice, red lentils, broccoli, banana
I also prioritise sleep. 8 hours usually every night, 7 being the absolute minimum
Make a video about your worst injuries and how you healed
My daily faves:
Grean tea with lemon and ACV (early morning on fasted state)
Low fat curd cheese (500 gr at once)
Oats
Pasture raised eggs
Smoked Salmon
Full wheat toast
Walnuts (handful)
Healthy spices (daily): Ceylon cinnamon, cayenne pepper
little chocolate donuts: th-cam.com/video/CxCUHjx7U7Y/w-d-xo.html
I’d imagine once you get to a high level, you’d have to get a sports nutritionist to list out what you eat, or even have someone cook and prep it for you. The last thing you need to have on your mind is what you need to eat. But I also appreciate his approach too, which is keeping it simple. Eat the same thing pretty much every single day, that way it becomes routine.
Hi Gabriel,
Can you make a video about your diet?
What do you eat and what you don't eat?
Do you eat bread? Do you drink milk? Do you choose organic food?
Do you eat red meat?
How many times a day do you eat?
Do you practice fasting?
Thanks
3:35 One little tip, just peel and cut the banana BEFORE puting it in the frezer, so you don't have to "cut" the peel with a knife . You can use a ziplock or a regular plastic bag.
Whole grains, fermented foods (yogurt and kimchi/sauerkraut), diverse green veggies, white fish, wild salmon, chicken, seeds and nuts, fruit. I limit spinach due to oxalic acid (chalky taste) as it can deplete your calcium and other minerals. Poke/sushi bowls are the best!
Although, it was in fact ....... poached chicken breast that is whipped up in the blender with blanched spinach and some baked potatoe ---- every day, every meal as he loved it and then cottage cheese and cantaloupe everyday as well.
Healthy diet for a child once they start eating solid food - maybe around 6 months or so.
I personally peel bananas before freezing.
They sell bulk bananas (full box) cheaper if you talk to the manager. Let them get ripe, then peel and put in topper-wares and freeze.
My favorite healthy dessert: Peeled frozen Bananas, frozen strawberry und sugar free soya-joghurt blended together.
I also like to the crackers, but I eat lentil-crackers oder corn-crackers instead.
Thanks for the insight.
The best advice here is to tell your spouse to figure out something else to eat, while you stick to your diet plan.
thanks for your sharing
Gabriel I can see how much you love your smoothies and I don't want to dent your enthusiasm but there's a lot of science to show you should never drink your calories. Chewing is what starts the digestive process, it releases enzymes and I believe also affects your stomach acid. Without chewing you're skipping steps in digestion so the smoothy doesn't digest properly. Also you're mainlining sugar and increasing your blood glucose levels rapidly which can lead to weight gain (which isn't a problem for you clearly but depending on how much other people exercise / their metabolism it could be)
Here's my high protein pancake recipe (4 people): 1.25 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup fresh-ground seeds/nuts (pumpkin, hemp, almonds, etc)
1-2 scoops protein powder
1Tb sugar (can leave it out)
1Tb baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
Add 2-4 Tb oil (avocado, sunflower, or coconut) and 2 eggs, beat together gently without incorporating the dry ingredients (as much as possible)
Add milk or nut/soy milk to desired consistency, about 1 1/2 - 2 cups, and whisk together
Thank you sir
My 5 most commonly eaten foods that I eat daily are : chicken, bananas, strawberries, spinach and eggs.
I try to eat clean and healthy 90% of the times, I allow my self a dirty breakfast and a dirty meal once a week, I'm not a big chocolate /sweets/ candy guy, but I do like nice bit of cake!
Hey Gabriel, love the videos. Could you make one on post fight/training body recovery? I feel very sore after training going into the day
My number one tip is to get a cold shower right after practicing like first warm later for one minute cold. That is not about you like it. Soreness is an inflammatory thing which can be treated by cold.
@@patmanpatmanson I'll try this for my evening training session rn, thanks man
Thank u sensei 🙏🍈🍣

Cottage Cheese Man...I like it. My Great Grandfather Lester worked as a cottage cheese taste tester. He did not look like you. He was a 4x4 man. Big around as he was tall. All I'm trying to say watch out for that cottage cheese to catch 🪝 to you if you don't keep up that Hook.
Post. Script.
Bulgarian Buttermilk& Cornbread
That's great brother if it's working for you for so many years.. i am a fan of yours from India.
I don't know if you have heard about Ayurveda or not. Its thousands of years old knowledge which is still used by most of the households in my country to stay fit, healthy and also to cure diseases.
According to Ayurveda, banana should not be consumed with milk. And the best food to eat is what grows in your area. Imported food from other country should not be eaten. There are mant more concepts about diet. I highly recommend checking that out.
Will give my daughters banana/blueberry icecream today, thx coach 👊😎
I've heard of people eating cantaloupe and cottage cheese. I can't eat cantaloupe, but I'll try grapes with it. Though that sounds like the weirdest combo ever.
Would you say cutting out grain based food is the main way you cut wieght or is cutting sugar more important?
When you suggest some recipe, it would be nice that you actually writing it in detail of the description 🙏
Thank you for the value otherwise :)
Great food tips. Thanks for this video. What I’m trying to figure out is what percentage of training should be dedicated to running, weight lifting, plyometrics, and the actual martial arts. How do you structure your different aspects of training?
Gabriel did a video on this a while back. It changes based on your experience level. Search for "Vargas Training Priorities"
Focus on your weak points. Also, to mix those types of training effectively you have to periodize the training. In other words, don't try to go for everything at once. If you are lacking strength for example, don't do long endurance activity. And vice versa.
Also, realize that different types of impovements take different amounts of time to achieve and last longer or shorter. Skills tend to last the longest for example, while endurance gains will quickly go away with lack of training.
Also, it takes less effort to maintain abilities than to improve them.
@@undeadpresident Thank you for your recommendations. I think what you say is accurate. I can still do a tornado kick fairly easily but for sure endurance needs quite some work.
@@MatadorM9 no problem.
I like this, this is something I would ask any of my favorite fighter if I met em I like learning about how they fuel there bodies for what they do
Divine protein shakes....and duck eggs.
Better if you shown photos of the foods
Gabe, do you think the Carnivore diet for Muay Thai/K1 is a good idea?
I think it's not optimal for a fighter because lack of carbs, you need carbs for energy and restoring glycogen levels in muscles
Where is this pancake video...Yuuuuummmm
Eggs missing? 🤔
🥊
But avocados are too expensive!
eating an avocado as i watch
Your making me hungry
I used to hate avocado, but then I went to Mexico around 2010 and realized I'd just always had bad avocado 😅 Love them now 🙂 Make guacamole all the time, put avocado chunks in salads all the time; just a lovely fruit.
The frozen banana thing is definitely a good touch for the smoothies. If you want it to be even thicker, you can also try using plantains (make sure you let them turn black before freezing them for maximum ripeness 🙂).
Cantaloupe and cottage cheese is a good combo; just mind that cantaloupe can trigger allergic reactions in people with ragweed allergies (watermelon can be a nice alternative to get around that, since it also pairs very nicely with slightly-salty flavors).
Aww, sounds like I can't do the pancakes (my digestive system has issues with most grains, including oats), but it sounds similar to the flaxseed meal and banana porridge that I typically have for breakfast 🙂
One of my favorite things is coconut meat. Great energy booster that doesn't cause a crash afterwards, wonderful flavor, and tons of nutrition packed in there. I'll peel one or two on the weekends and then snack on the meat once or twice a day through the week 🥥
Wow.....so you practically never eat meat?!
I guess not. It's not a conscience decision.
Just kind of happens. But I do eat a descent amount of seafood with the sushi
@@GabrielVargaOfficial thank you very much for answering! Love your channel, thanks for what you do
Sushi is fattening due to the sugar in the rice mixture.
@@henryg3313 That's not really the point.
Don’t you get bloated from the smoothie ? All the little bubbles in it
