My take on "The Warrior Diet"
If you starve yourself for the entire day, every day you will lose weight. Shocking.
I've been hearing many people bring this up on the boards and wonder what kind of special concept this is. Skip breakfast and lunch and fight through hunger every day, and you will drop pounds. No sh*t. The physiological and psychological cravings that will affect most people on this diet will likely prove to be counterproductive with frustration leading to eventual diet breakdown. Ori Hoffmekler is an knowledgeable fella but he is promoting a diet that is made for a rare body type.
I cant imagine doing any type of athletic activity or weightlifting regimen without eating a reasonable amount of food ALL day. Yea you may snack on a few little things during the day that will evaporate by your stomach acids in a millisecond. I remember watching Hakeem Olajuwon playing basketball during the month of Ramadan when he was eating no food during the day...he looked like a ghoulish zombie who was about to pass out at any moment on the court. Not how I want to feel. Some people who say they actually have "more" energy from this diet must be people who are not very active.
The only component about this diet that is sensible is the focus on anti-estrogenic foods. Other than that its a pretty much a diet that very few people will be able to stick to.
