Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I came across this title on the Dragon Door website where I had ordered a set of kettlebells (see The Russian Kettlebell Challenge by Pavel Tsatsouline). After doing a little background research about the Warrior Diet book and its author, I decided to order it from Amazon.com.
I followed the diet along with following a system of workouts based on static weightlifting (i.e., deadlifts, standing presses) and ballistic lifting (clean and jerks, snatches), as well as aerobic training.
As for the diet itself, it is revolutionary to our modern dietary "philosophy", which in my way of thinking, says: "I would rather be comfortable than be truly alive." It was not so much the name "Warrior Diet" as it was the philosophy behind it that inspired me to practice it.
In short, the author encourages the reader to strive for a state of physical and mental toughness, the foundation of which is built on our most basic function- eating. During the day, one eats small amounts of fruits and vegetables (with a little protein). At night, one can eat until s/he is satisfied.
Over a period of two months, I've lost only 8 lbs. (from 175 to 167), but, much to my wife's delight, I have regained musculature that I haven't seen in twenty years. Even more, my concentration has greatly improved and I don't get the afternoon blahs like I did under my old (conventional) rules of eating.
To top it off, I think my attitude is changing. I am an engineer, and more like Dilbert than I care to admit. However, since I've been going without food during the day and eating like a horse at night, I've turned into a real horse's $$$ at work. Not in a bad way- I still have my job- but I find myself speaking up to defend good ideas and tearing up bad ones. In other words, I don't go with the flow anymore. Is this due to the diet or merely psychological? I don't have a clue, but in light of the other benefits, I'll keep practicing the Warrior Diet.
And I don't care if you find this review helpful or not.

Get potent and powerful - when you unleash the power of instinctual eating. The "Warrior Diet" presents a brilliant synthesis of modern scientific research and ancient time-tested secrets for reducing body fat, gaining energy, getting stronger and looking younger. Our problem, according to Ori Hofmekler, is that we have lost touch with the natural wisdom of our instinctual drives. We have become the slaves of our own creature comforts. The result: ill-advised eating and lifestyle habits that leave us vulnerable to all manner of disease - not to mention unwanted flab, premature wrinkling and a sagging, weak, unattractive body. The first step is to break the chains of our current eating habits. The "Warrior Diet" proves that humans are at their energetic, physical, mental and passionate best when they 'undereat' during the day and 'overeat' at night. Once you master this essential eating cycle, a new life of explosive vigour, good looks and vitality will be yours for the taking. Not just a diet, but a whole way of life, "Warrior Diet" encourages us to seize back the pleasures of being alive - from the most refined to the wild and raw.The "Warrior Diet" is practical, tested, and based on common-sense. Expect results!
