Along with the many benefits of leisure-class living comes obesity and its attendant ailments. In The Warrior Diet, Ori Hofmekler looks not forward but backward for a solution?to the primal habits of early cultures such as nomads and hunter-gatherers, the Greeks, and the Romans. Based on survival science, this book proposes not ordinary dietary changes but rather a radical yet surprisingly simple lifestyle overhaul.

Drawing on both scientific studies and historical data, Hofmekler argues that robust health and a lean, strong body can best be achieved by mimicking the classical warrior mode of cycling?working and eating sparingly (undereating) during the day and filling up at night. Specific elements from the Warrior Diet Nutritional Program (finding ideal fuel foods and food combinations to reduce body fat) to the Controlled Fatigue Training Program (promoting strength, speed, and resilience to fatigue through special drills), literally reshape body and mind. Individual chapters cover warrior meals and recipes; sex drive, potency, and animal magnetism; as well as personalizing the diet for women. Featuring forewords by Fit for Life author Harvey Diamond and Fat That Kills author Dr. Udo Erasmus, The Warrior Diet shows readers weary of fad diets how to attain enduring vigor, explosive strength, a better appearance, and increased vitality and health.

Hey, it works

I have not yet really studied this book in all the detail the author supplies. I'm just doing 'the basics' and find myself easily losing weight. The 'overeating' phase is my favorite . What the author says about dieting is certainly true for me, a month or two and I no longer have any interest in the program. This method seems one that is no real hardship, awareness of one's blood chemistry and adjusting during the day to bring weight loss is a piece of cake, especially after the first week or so. I am two months into it and see no reason I will go back to the old daytime carbs and sugar that seems to be The American Way.

A diet that makes sense and is easy to follow

The problem with most diets is that they based exclusion of certain types of food or food groups. Modern nutritionists and modern society has forgot the single most important part of your dietary health, which is allowing your body time to convert the fat in your body into energy. This was my natural instinct when I was skinny little boy, but after over a decade of forced constant feeding, by the time I was in my teens I became overweight with virtually no muscle mass and was constantly getting sick. I even got in trouble with the teacher in elementary school one time for trying to skip lunch. Ofcourse now I'm skinnier, faster, stronger, and healthier, but I'm still striving to reach my ideal fitness level. You can eat the most healthy food we want, but there is no way you can burn off all the excess body fat without allowing your body time to detoxify itself, unless you follow the fitness routine of a professional athlete. Don't get it wrong, this is not a starve yourself during the day, binge on cheeseburgers at night diet. During the day you just eat raw uncooked veggies and fruits(try avoid the fruits with heavy sugar like grapes and water melon) and drink water while at night eating as much as you want of any and all food groups, preferably organic food. I've only been on this diet on and off for a few days, so I can't accurately tell you the results. But I can say that I feel better about myself on days that I practiced the diet then on days that I didn't.

Eat, Drink, and Behave Like Your Warrior Ancestors

Dieting is a very popular activity nowadays. With obesity at record levels and body mass indices climbing higher and higher for most Americans each day, the physical condition of the public at large continues to deteriorate with each passing moment. And because of this fact, the diet and fitness business is booming like never before. The Warrior Diet attempts to assert itself into this growing market with a diet plan that is different from most others and that offers a workable plan that most can follow, often with very positive results.

After reading a couple of chapters, it is easy to see that The Warrior Diet is, indeed, different from most other diet plans. First, the Warrior concept is one that the author describes as getting back to mankind's original lifestyle when it comes to eating and fitness. Foods in the past were purer and more wholesome than the processed garbage that humans eat today. People in the past also used to be far more physically fit, mainly because their very survival depended on it. These natural instincts have been lost over the years due to modern technology and as a result, humans eat far worse food than in the past and are far less physically active than at any point in history. The Warrior Diet is about reclaiming that past by re- introducing the human body to a diet of raw, unprocessed food and organic meats. It is also about becoming more physically active than before in order to maintain the Warrior body once a satisfactory nutritional balance has been achieved.

Advice like eating organic foods and exercising is pretty commonplace in most diet books so I wasn't very surprised when I read these parts of The Warrior Diet. However, I was surprised by the specific eating advice and how the Warrior Plan is put into action. It starts with an undereating phase. This takes place each morning and afternoon and the idea is to avoid eating completely, with the exception being vegetable juice, fruit juice, coffee, yogurt, and a few other things. After that comes the overeating phase; a catch- up phase that takes place during the evening hours. At this time, the Warrior is permitted to eat pretty much anything he/she wants. This is very different from most diet plans and it is bound to be controversial among nutritionists.

I have been on very few diets but I decided while I was reading this book that I would give this plan a try and see what happened. What I discovered is that this undereating phase is very difficult at first, and I could feel my stomach growling for hours during the morning and afternoon hours. But then, it gradually became easier and easier to do this and I didn't feel as hungry as I did on the first day. I also noticed that my nighttime meal was far more satisfying than my meals usually are. Like other people, I lead a busy life and have little time to enjoy my meals. Eating has become a chore and I try to get it over with as quickly as possible so that I can get on with the rest of my day. But with the Warrior Diet plan, I find that my evening meal tastes better and is met with greater anticipation. I look forward to eating it, and I enjoy myself more than before.

Physical fitness is an important part of any diet plan and The Warrior Diet includes many pages of exercises that are intended to complement the diet itself. Some of these exercises require using weights, but others do not. I don't engage in physical fitness as often as I should and what I like about this section of the book is that, like the rest of the book, it includes exercises that are a little out of the ordinary. Things like towel swiping, frog jumps, and the bow and arrow shoulder stretch are among the many unique exercise ideas promoted by The Warrior Diet.

Most of The Warrior Diet is easy to read, but author Ori Hofmekler does include quite a bit of nutritional and physiological tech talk. It was important to include this type of information because it helps to back up what is stated in the book. But for people like me who know little about this type of topic, I found that I often did not quite understand what Hofmekler was talking about at certain points. Comments about things like omega- 3 oils; the health benefits of Cruciferous indoles; etc., were over my head. During these moments, I just had to take his word for it. I don't even know if the things stated are completely true, but I am pretty sure they are.

Overall, I found The Warrior Diet an effective book about diet and nutrition and the plan seems to work, based on my brief experience. The Warrior Diet and the advice contained in this book is generally very thorough and very helpful and it presents a workable plan that is less restrictive overall when compared to other diets. Some of the advice is commonplace; other advice is more unique. But the bottom line goal of the Warrior Diet is one most people can certainly agree: To eliminate toxins from the body, eat better foods through improved eating habits, and develop the physical body into a lean, mean, Warrior- like machine. It's a good book for anyone who has an interest in improving ones' physical condition and maintaining the improvements for a long period of time.

A diet that Works !!! What more do you want ??

This diet has worked wonders for me. I would not be so impressed if I had not already have been working out hard and "watching what I ate" for 6 months.

So basicaly the easy first 10 to 15 pounds were already long gone.

I lost 10 pounds the first week and 2 continue to loose 3 pounds a week.

Don't let the "fasting" hype scare you away.

Basicaly it involves a few basic principles.

1 breakfast isn't the most important meal of the day.

2 recognize the difference between being hungry and just wanting to eat something

3 you can and should chow down and go to sleep on a full stomach.

Overall I highly reccomend it !!!

Try The Fast 5 Diet book instead

Constant irrational hunger? Never full? Even when you restrict calories, does the fat cling to you for weeks? Have you failed over and over?

This book works. And you feel fully alive.

But it's full of hype and quasi history and fluff. This book is more motivational than informational. A better book is The Fast-5 Diet. It'll take you two hours to read. Then buy the Warrior Diet book for motivation and inspiration.
