I’ve been around health conscious people all my life. Both my grandmothers are nutritionists, my mom has consumed a library of natural health books, and my cousin is a practicing naturopath.
It is no surprise then that salads, kale smoothies, and fresh garden fruits are a thing in our family.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my ice cream and consume a half gallon on my own when it is in the house.
Eating healthy foods is something I learned first hand. Knowing when to eat my food is something I learned from a college friend.
The Warrior Diet is focused on eating live foods (what diet isn’t?), but the difference from other diets is only eating them 1 or 2 times a day.
The idea derives from the warrior cultures through the ages. Spartan and Roman soldiers would graze on fruits and nuts during the day, and enjoy some tasty game at night.
If you’re not eating heavy, it is easy to burn the stored calories. The under-eating phase during the day allows our digestive system to rest while the intermittent fasting clears our purification system.
I can tell you from personal experience that once you get used to the under-eating phase, your energy levels go through the roof - your mind is clear as well.
For anyone who has fasted, you know the effect that a good cleanse has on the mind. You accomplish this every day with the Warrior Diet.
Personally, I am someone who has to eat to keep weight on. But, I value the flexibility of the Warrior Diet because I can be leaner while keeping a healthy weight.
There is so much science behind the Warrior Diet, and I encourage you to check out the book or watch the video below. Let me know what you think.
