The warriors diet...

Found a bit of info from someone that is using it on the net; It doesn't really appeal much to me, but here's what he posted.
I have been using a nutritional strategy the last few days that, although violates a large majority of my ideals on dieting and nutrition in general, has been an incredible experience for me. My energy is through the roof, I’m sleeping like a baby, and I’m maintaining my strength and weight with ease.
For anyone who has seriously tried to put lots of muscle on, you would know it takes alot of work. It gets SO emotionally exhausting preparing and eating 6 big meals a day, and there is always a feeling of indigestion and lethargy when you’re pushing your weight on the scale up. In short, you tend to get tired, cranky and sick of food very quickly.
The heaviest I’ve been was a fairly lean 215 lbs., and even though I wasn’t carrying much fat, it still didn’t feel very good carrying around that weight. I’ve just recently cut down to about 195 lbs., and I had my eyes open for a way that I could maintain this weight with very little effort. Well, I found it!
I’m also going to be experimenting with a similar approach with 2 of my personal training clients for fat loss and muscle maintenance over the next 8 weeks.
Read the book the Warrior Diet for a full in-depth look, but I’ll lay out the basic premise for you all right now and then my exact nutritional plan. If you have any interest in maintaining a lean physique, losing some fat, or just want to live healthier and have a massive increase in energy levels, take this into consideration.
The Basic Premise
Throughout the day, you have 20 hours of undereating, with a 4 hour window, at night of all times, where you overcompensate and eat very heavily until you’re satisfied.
During the day, you can snack on veggies (no dips), and low GI fruit such as berries. Vegetable juices are good as well. Probably through the day you wouldn’t take more than 400-600 calories depending on your bodyweight. This gives your body a chance to detox, let’s your digestive tract recover, and switches your body into using the sympathetic nervous system (basically the fight/flight response which is our natural state, VERY high energy state to be in).
Then at night time, you dramatically increase food intake. I typically start out with a massive spinach salad, then move to either steak or 6-8 whole eggs, then a ton of sweet potatoes or brown rice, then more roasted vegetables or home-made guacamole, then whatever else I’m craving. I eat very healthy, but it’s ALOT. Due to the daily undereating period, your body soaks up nutrients and protein absorption is increased dramatically.
After this meal, you feel so satisfied and sleepy, and it’s just an amazing feeling… can’t wait for my meal tonight!
My Specific Plan
I tweaked the plan slightly to make sure that I could carry 195-200 lbs. of muscle. This is NOT THE PLAN TO USE, PLEASE TAKE THIS AS MERELY AN EXPERIMENTAL TRIAL, I’M JUST SHOWING YOU WHAT I DO AT THE MOMENT. I will be updating you all on my progress, as I’m taking progress pictures, body fat measurements, and logging my diet in depth. Again, don’t do this, I know my body very well and what exactly it needs to stay in the range of not losing muscle, and that’s why this diet is set up the way it is.
First off, my custom through the day Fasting Mix that I had custom formulated for me.
1 Scoop of the Fasting Mix (30g) – this is used to stop muscle breakdown and keep my body in an anabolic state throughout the undereating stage.
1 scoop of Fasting Mix
6 oz. blackberries
4g fish oil capsules
Multivitamin
Meal 2 – 11:30 am
1 scoop of Fasting Mix
6 oz. blueberries
4g fish oil capsules
Meal 3 – 3:30 pm
1 scoop of Fasting Mix
6 oz. strawberries
4g fish oil capsules
Meal 4 – 7:00 pm
4 cups of spinach with cut up onions, peppers, etc. with olive oil + vinegar dressing
10-14 oz. of steak, roast or 6-8 whole eggs with egg whites
2-3 sweet potatoes, oven cooked with olive oil
After that, I just eat until I’m stuffed – typically avocados, nuts, fruit, chickpeas – depends on what I’m craving.
Finish with a 50g protein shake of 50% Beef Protein Isolate/50% Micellar Casein
Again, this is an EXPERIMENT, DON’T USE THIS PLAN, JUST UNDERSTAND THE PREMISE BEHIND IT.
I often have people ask me where I buy my supplements. I get everything at www.trueprotein.com because it’s the most affordable place I’ve ever seen and I know the stuff I get there is legitimate. Use discount code STM616 for 5% off your entire order on checkout.
Let me know if you have ever tried this diet or something similar, it’s been a very great experience so far! I have seen a MASSIVE boost in productivity personally just from being able to work straight for 4-5 hours at a time rather than being interrupted by frequent meal times. Very neat!
