Summary

Along with the many benefits of leisure-class living comes obesity and its attendant ailments. In The Warrior Diet, Ori Hofmekler looks not forward but backward for a solution - to the primal habits of early cultures such as nomads and hunter-gatherers, the Greeks, and the Romans. Based on survival science, this book proposes not ordinary dietary changes but rather a radical yet surprisingly simple lifestyle overhaul.

Drawing on both scientific studies and historical data, Hofmekler argues that robust health and a lean, strong body can best be achieved by mimicking the classical warrior mode of cycling-working and eating sparingly (undereating) during the day and filling up at night. Specific elements from the Warrior Diet Nutritional Program (finding ideal fuel foods and food combinations to reduce body fat) to the Controlled Fatigue Training Program (promoting strength, speed, and resilience to fatigue through special drills), literally reshape body and mind. Individual chapters cover warrior meals and recipes; sex drive, potency, and animal magnetism; and personalizing the diet for women.

Featuring forewords by Fit for Life author Harvey Diamond and Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill author Dr. Udo Erasmus, The Warrior Diet shows listeners who are weary of fad diets how to attain enduring vigor, explosive strength, a better appearance, and increased vitality and health.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

I don't believe this method will work long term

What would have made The Warrior Diet better?

The narrator is a tad annoying and the whole principles of the diet are not for long term. Also the concept of eating anything you want at tea time makes it not a workable long term solution and can mess up your metabolism. There are some good tips that can be taken from this book in relation to eating fruit and veg and some good advise on exercise.

What will your next listen be?

Burn the fat and feed the muscle by Tom venuto.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Pretty boring

Good info

Would you listen to The Warrior Diet again? Why?

Yes has a lot of useful information, notes would need to be made

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, so much info is thrown at you best to break it up. Ignore the history section if you just want the cold hard facts what people did in the past has no bearing on the science and scheduling which is what is of interest in this book.

Any additional comments?

This is a good book if you are not new to nutrition and wish to do further reading into dieting. as newbies will be overwhelmed by what is thrown at you, and your more likely say it is INCORRECT as it questions dieting standards which a lot of people will not be able to handle with out further reading or understanding how nutrition is handled by the body. I have tried many diets to hone my strength and conditioning. High protein, High carbs all with success but I just felt it was still unhealthy internally. as all required severe excess and deficit, which will take its toll hormonally. Have been looking into Intermittent fasting for a while and would like to put my body through it to see my reaction. Going to put it through a strength cycle then a conditioning one this year and see my results.

The concept of this diet is well rounded and has been the missing link for me and filled in a lot of gaps in my own knowledge. I can finally link Intermittent fasting with raw food and Palaeolithic eating. Will be interesting.....

Frustrating thing about reference audio books is..

..chapters are not named. 6.5 hours of talking is fine but this is something that I clearly want to refer back to over time, but there is no clue where what I am looking for might be. Somewhere between chapter 1 & 23? Cue lots of moving the slider about to try and get a clue, not knowing if you are ahead or behind the bit you want to hear again. James Smith's "Not a Diet" book was the same, but they quickly fixed it. Not so with the Warrior Diet. I really wish I'd bought the paperback or Kindle version, where flicking backwards and forwards is so much easier.

The most frustrating drawbacks are always the unnecessary ones, and this audiobook could so easily be improved by having chapter headings.

revolutionary

this book takes you back to functionality in its essence and then follows a fantastic plan for both diet and functional performance. it is the most effective and honest book I have found on diet and is written by a man who isn't to be fooled with.
