The food balance project helped me with my nutrition and weight cut for my most recent Muay Thai fight on I can’t recommend this service enough. This made such a difference compared to my previous fight camps. Not only did I learn about the importance of the foods I was eating. The balance project made sure I was eating enough food to maintain the high training levels while still managing to cut weight. This made all the difference during the camp. The final weight cut and rehydration process was made much simpler as I has a detailed plan laying everything out. All I had to do was follow Patrick’s instructions. - .96

5 FERMENTED FOODS TO TRY

YOGURT is a great sources of probiotics. It is made from milk that has been fermented by friendly bacteria, mainly lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria. Plant-based yogurts, such as coconut yogurt, also contain added friendly bacteria. Unfortunately, not all yogurt contains live probiotics because they have been killed during processing. Therefore, look for yogurt with active or live cultures.

KIMCHI is a fermented, spicy Korean side dish usually with cabbage as main ingredient, but it can also be made from other vegetables. Kimchi contains the lactic acid bacteria lactobacillus kimchi and is also high in vitamin K, vitamin B2 and iron.

SAUERKRAUT is finely shredded cabbage that has been fermented by lactic acid bacteria. It is a traditional and old food very popular particularly in Europe. In addition to its probiotic qualities, sauerkraut is rich in fiber, the minerals iron and manganese and the vitamins C, B and K. Make sure to choose unpasteurized sauerkraut, because pasteurization kills the live and active bacteria.

KEFIR is a fermented probiotic milk drink. It is made by adding kefir grains to milk from cows or goats. Kefir grains are cultures of lactic acid bacteria and yeast that look a bit like a cauliflower.

TEMPEH is fermented soybean. It is normally served as a popular, high protein substitute for meat. Due to fermentation tempeh also contains vitamin B12. This makes it a great choice for vegetarians as well as anyone looking to add a nutritious probiotic to their diet
