The Warrior Diet

Its still on…It has been a since October 2009 I have been on this diet. I can’t honestly even call it a diet, It is just who I am, its a lifestyle, plus I’m a poor college student =)

To revisit, The Warrior diet, as per Ori Hofmekler consist of eating ONE BIG MEAL A DAY. Thats right one big meal a day. So when people are trying to get the calories they need for the whole day eating all these small meals in a day, someone on this diet, such as myself, can get all the calories from the foods he/she needs in one sitting. There is a certain window for when you can eat, I have not read the book (The Warrior Diet) in a while, but some say its 8 hour you get to eat ANYTHING YOU WANT, while I suscribe more to a 4 hour window. My training schedule with BJJ and S&C make me super busy.

In the morning I eat nothing or have a banana or coffee (depending if I am having University classes)

Then throughout the day depending on training, after practices I usually have a banana or a sports drink, then if I am sitting around studying or chilling I have yogurts or fruits, if I feel terrible because of some session, I will have a protein shake.

At night after all is said and done, I really do eat whatever I want. And it is beautiful. lol Usually I try to include greens (salads, steamed veggies, and stuff) and eat those before anything else. Then it’s on like donkey kong, rice (I LOOOVE RICE), or potatos, meats (i tried only to eat red meats a few times a month or zero before competition). This is truly an awesome time in my life because my biological response to eating at this time is i feel like I “EARNED” it, like I am really truly hungry. This hungry is a different kind of hungry and its difficult to describe.

This Diet is not for the weak lol at first anyway, but after a week you will get used to it easy.
