The Modern Day Warrior Diet

The popularity of the warrior diet has been increasing in the past
month.
Wether it works is of course debatable as so are many other diets.

Excerpt from Ori's website

"What is the Warrior Diet?

The Warrior Diet is based on a daily feeding cycle of "undereating"
during the day and "overeating"
at night. The "Undereating Phase" during the day maximizes the
Sympathetic Nervous System's (SNS)
fight or flight reaction to stress, thereby promoting alertness,
generation of energy, fat burning
and the capacity to endure stress.

Ori Hofmekler, the creator of this Diet says Diets fail for two major
reasons:

- Most diets ignore the biological time factor- Most diets disregard
human instinct "

Tou can read up on Ori's diet at his website, but essentialy it's what
a SUMO Wrestler does to get
FAT! They eat nothing and drink fluids throughout the day, then have
one GIANT meal of everything at
night. My friend put on 50 lbs of FAT in 8 weeks. You still want to
try this diet?

Welcome to my Modern Warrior Diet. In my Opinion, this is what works
for me.

My Modern Warrior Diet focuses on:

* 5-6 smaller meals which equates to better absorption by the body
and greater satiation.
* Combining Proteins, with Fats and Complex Carbs which equates to
getting all your muscle

sparing macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients from the all essential
food groups. This is the real
definition of a full meal.

* Combining the right Proteins, Fats and Carbs also slows the
breakdown of the foods for better
digestion.
* Insulin Levels are more stable throughout the day. There are no
mood swings or sleepy
afternoons.
* Eating 5-6 smaller meals will help you with portion control.
* Portion Control will help you count calories easily.
* Planned meal times. Human Instinct is controlled by Feelings and
in today's society most
people are not aware that feelings control how much they eat,
and people overeat driven by their
feelings with disregard to planned meal times.
* Using BMR to calculate the minimal amount of calories to ingest.
* To build muscle, strength and lose fat, you need to speed your
metabolism. Most people's
metabolism are close to shutting down from in-frequent meals or
caloric feeding under their BRM.

Starting a Warrior Diet would not be advisable, since you starve
yourself more, then overfeed at
night. When this happens, your body senses the change in energy and
will quickly store it as fat in
order to protect itself from starvation and muscle loss.

You can determine your Basal Metabolic Rate with a simple calculation.
BMR is the amount of
energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment, in
the post-absorptive state
(meaning that the digestive system is inactive, which requires about
twelve hours of fasting in
humans).

By increasing your metabolic rate throughout the day, you increase
your detoxification ability,
absorbption rate of nutrients, energy, anabolic growth, and your
ability to burn fat as a fuel. In
conclusion, you don't want to starve yourself during the day, because
most people re already doing
that and it will put you closer to metabolic shutdown which takes 4
weeks of a regualr baseline diet
just to get you out of it.
