MTV"Teen Mom OG" star Maci Bookout said she never convinced her son, Bentley, to lose weight for wrestling.

Teen Mom OG star Maci Bookout said she never convinced her 11-year-old son, Bentley, to lose weight for wrestling. On Tuesday nights episode of the MTV reality show, the mother-of-three encouraged Bentley to eat a salad and admonished him for wanting to eat unhealthy foods. This caused a backlash from some MTV viewers, who thought she was being too strict with her sons diet.

Bookout denied forcing Bentley to cut weight, insisting he wanted to lose a few pounds to wrestle in a lower weight class. In reference to tonights episode-I have never and will never convince Bentley to cut weight. After wrestling his first 2 tournaments in the 75lb class weighing in at 72-he came to me & said he wanted to wrestle at 70, she tweeted on May 26. I told him thats fine, but you WILL NOT cut weight.

When Bentley didnt want to stick with the new diet, Bookout said he was allowed to go back to his regular eating regiment. I will lay out a healthy scheduled diet for u, u can eat salads, grilled chicken, veggies, good carbs-instead of pizza, doritos & candybars, she wrote. Through the season, he decided he didnt like it-I told him thats okay! U can go back to usual and wrestle at 75 which is what he did.

Bookout retweeted messages from followers who are familiar with the sport of wrestling. They said that following a healthy diet and watching weight is a part of the sport. If youve never been around wrestling you wont get it. I grew up with my brother wrestling and my dad coaching it my entire life, one of the messages she shared said. Youre doing things right!!

Even though it wasnt on the show, Bookout said she would make Bentley healthy breakfasts like egg white omelets with turkey bacon. Thats exactly what I did, she tweeted. That was at least one of the many breakfast options for him.

Bookout also shared a message from someone who slammed Ryan Edwards reaction to Bentleys diet. Edwards said he didnt understand why Bentley would need to lose weight if he needed to be stronger, and added that restricting calories might make him a late bloomer and that it would suck.

I appreciate your input, she tweeted. My brother was a collegiate wrestler so I grew up around the sport and have a bit of knowledge in the sport and healthy weight maintenance.

During the episode, Bookout said Bentley lost his mind when he asked to have chicken. He is just on a very strict, good healthy calorie diet, she said. Lots of water and workouts to actually cut weight. And as long as he uses the bathroom every day you cut like a pound when you do that. Youll be fine.

Edwards, however, had a drastically different reaction to Bentleys diet. I thought wrestling is about technique. I know you got to have a little bit of strength. So why arent you trying to gain weight? Edwards told Bentley. You know whats going to happen, youre going to stunt your growth and when its time to get bigger youre gonna be a late bloomer and its going to suck for you.
