Warrior Diet

[Guest guest]

Heidi,

Would you mind telling me how you made the switch to one meal a day? I think

I would like to try this way of eating, but I'm not much into being a martyr

either. I seem to be able to two meals a day, but one seems impossible.

My suggestion would be to familarize yourself with the basic principles

of the warrior diet. You will find these two links of help:

After that, ask away!

In a word: gradually! Actually I went cold-turkey but it

wasn't a great idea. Remember that uncooked food is ok ...

so when you get hungry, eat fruit or salad, and a bit

of meat when you need it (I used jerky, or lox, to keep

in the spirit of " not working at cooking " during the day).

Basically just avoid starches and sugar during the

day, which isn't too hard. Right now I have a grapefruit

for breakfast and a salad for lunch ... it's " undereating "

not " fasting " . But my blood sugar swings stabilized, and

I CAN skip those meals without great hardship ... but since

I tend not to do fruit or salad for dinner, it's good to

get those foods in me, and they don't slow me down. Plus

we eat lunch together, and it hurts people's feelings if

I don't eat.

Ori based his thoughts somewhat on the Romans, who

felt one should eat raw food ( " crudites " ) during the

day and have a feast at night. It's not a bad way to

live for multiple reasons. I did find I had to do

a little tweaking to make the weight loss happen,

but the weight I've lost has all been fat, not muscle,

which is nice, and it doesn't come back when I pig

out for a week when I have guests or whatever.

Actually it is fasting, as the term is properly understood. It just

isn't *liquid* fasting (either juice or water) which is a particular

kind of fasting, but does not encompass the whole of fasting.

Of course if one wants to do that in the underating phase, they can, but

it certainly isn't required or necessary.

I have always noticed that if I have a large meal, I don't really

want breakfast, so that part was easy for me. However, what I

noticed then was around lunchtime, I tried to keep my eating to a

minimum so had a little bit of food here and there, and found myself

grazing throughout the day, which I figured was not going to achieve

the desired effect of the warrior diet. So I decided to eat a large

salad for lunch with dressing, with some berries or coconut for

afters, and that would keep me going until dinner time. Sometimes

I'll have some lean protein if I am very hungry. I find that even at

lunch I have to eat until full or I just graze through the day, or

buy a chocolate bar!

This is now working well for me and on my wedding day a week ago, i

was at my lowest weight ever (50.9kg) thanks to this diet. I am full

of energy, my skin is great (although that is probably the Primal

Defense) and I get to indulge my huge appetite!

>This sounds interesting.I soooo cannot afford to buy another book right now,

could someone please fill me in on this??

The details are at www.warriordiet.com. I started the diet way before

I got the book. It's simple:

1. During the day, eat raw fruits and vegies, and a little meat,

if you need it. But no sugars or starches.

2. Eat most of your food during a 4 hour window in

the evening. Allow your appetite to guide you, but

for losing weight, it's good to first, eat a nice

salad. Then your protein and vegies. Last, your

starches.

3. While one the WD you are supposed to not eat sugar,

and avoid processed food ... but hey, you are probably already

doing that.

I find I lose weight better if I limit

sugar (desserts once in awhile, but not often)

and nuts (I can eat a LOT of nuts). Also I

use coconut oil instead of other fats for frying,

which is good for weight loss.

It's better not to start this cold-turkey ... it

takes a couple of weeks for the body to adapt.

I DID start cold-turkey and the first two days

were horrid.

Like others have said, one size doesn't fit all!

Christie's had great results going very low carb,

as have others. For me though, I like the freedom

of not cooking so much, and it's easier for me

to travel now, and my gut works better (I think it

likes having a break from digesting food). My family

has more or less started following this too.

I should say that I DON'T starve during the day

though ... it is " controlled undereating " ... I have

a grapefruit for breakfast, and typically a big

salad for lunch, and maybe a banana or apple somewhere

along the way. Nor do I eat dinner in one big meal,

I snack all evening sometimes. But my appetite just

isn't as big as it used to be.

Also, I haven't lost weight as quickly on this as

I have on other diets. It's been very gradual. I haven't

lost muscle mass though, it's all fat, so it SEEMS like

I've lost more.

hi robin,

Schwarzbein is very similar to what i did for 3 years on

radiantrecovery.com and i lost a little weight and felt great. 3 meals a

day with protein, fats, a small carb, and veggies. no sugar, alcohol,

white flour. tho she says you MUST go off caffeine (not negotiable) and

i still struggle with that.

for how long have you been doing schwartzbein? how much have you lost?

did you find it difficult at all?

thanks.

laura

So far, Schwarzbein seems to work best for me.

,

I have started reducing my caffeine by adding a little decafe coffee to my

regular coffee each day. I'm now using more decafe than regular coffee. I'm

hoping after I'm no longer using regular coffee, I can reduce the amount I

drink. This is the only caffeine I drink other than a cup or two of tea per

week. All I can say is that I love my coffee so don't know if I'll ever be able

to give it up entirely.
