Usually, the athletes are at the maximum weight permitted in their category. This is ideally reached by increasing muscle mass. The objective of this work is recommendation how to reach the adequate weight in the corresponding category by using a novel nutritional strategy. Material and Methods: The study performed with judo athletes (n = 11, male 6; female 5) consisted in the follow up of the same group of individuals during 2 consecutive periods of time. For the first 4 months, the volunteers followed a free diet, while during the following 2-month period the same participants underwent a supervised diet program. The study performed with karate athletes (n = 14) consisted in comparing 2 groups (each 7 athletes): one following a free diet and the other following a diet under supervision by our laboratory. Three important aspects of the dietary intervention were considered: meal distribution during the day, diet composition in macronutrients and moment for application of calorie restriction for weight loss. Results: When diet was controlled, individuals significantly decreased their body weight. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in body fat mass.
