Success with the Warrior Diet
Yeah, I agree - stupid name for a diet. And boy was I skeptical, too. Look, I was following the ‘Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle’ plan for a long time, and VERY disciplined about it.
Maybe you’ve heard about it - eat 5-6 meals per day, at least 30% protein, etc. It worked for a time, but I plateaued and stopped making progress and got very frustrated.
I don’t even remember how I stumbled upon the Warrior Diet, but after a month of following this diet, I have lost considerable body fat (this in conjunction with doing the Tabata Protocol workout on a recumbent bike 3 times per week) and have retained muscle.
I highly recommend this diet program after seeing the results I got from it and how easily it fits into my lifestyle. Having to eat 5-6 meals per day and calculating nutrient ratios of everything I eat is a pain in the butt. With the Warrior Diet, you basically cycle between ‘controlled fasting’ during the day (I have coffee in the morning, a piece of fruit around noon, another piece of fruit around 3-4pm, and drink a lot of water) and eating whatever I want at night (around 7-7:30pm).
The explanation for WHY this works is in the book. All I care about is results, and this diet works!
