The Warrior Diet is one of the newer
diets based upon intermittent fasting, or IF. As in the Six-Meals-a-Day
Diet, it also revolves around eating unprocessed, organic foods that are
nutritious and wholesome.
During
the day, you don't have to skip food entirely. You can snack on fruits,
vegetables, and limited amounts of protein (nuts, plain yogurt, whey
protein, etc). The idea is not to feel like you are starving, so if you
experience hunger pangs, you can certainly have a snack.
Then
in the evening, you reintroduce food by starting with uncooked organic
vegetables (for the enzymes), followed by chicken or fish as your main
dish, and then some fats or carbs if you still feel hungry. It is
believed that you minimize the impact on your insulin response by doing
this.
Calorie counting is not
recommended, instead, when you consume your evening meal, you continue
to eat until you are no longer hungry. Sticking to organic foods and
using spices, herbs, and oils, you detoxify your system.
The
other principal behind the Warrior Diet is that by combining exercise
with under-eating, you will amplify the beneficial mechanisms of both -
increasing our ability to utilize energy, improve strength and resist
fatigue.
