No, I play Netball for a team called Dominos Netball Club. Netball is a GREAT sport for losing weight, you don't have to diet unless you think that you are having problems like losing breath easly and mybe you should get your fitness up and if you do think that you should go on a diet then play a posision that dose not involve to mch work so that you can rest every so often.
- here I think they use the word "diet" to mean what their dietary intake consists of. not diet in the faddy terms of yo-yo dieting and calorie counting (!!)
also the point about losing breath; work on your aerobic fitness first as this is the problem, not neccessarily your weight (!!)
As with any athletic diet, I would say protein rich diet, low in fat and high in carbs is needed.
you should be having 10-15% of your calories in protein, and 60-70% from carbs.
don't eat less than 2 hrs before a match (4 if you can) as you will feel the effect as the blood moves away from your gut that is trying to digest your dinner towards your working muscles!
It goes without saying that you should always always eat breakfast. high in fibre and wholegrains. low in sugar.
