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.

"Interesting idea, going to try it for a few weeks, see if it does what he says. Will update review when I know."
— Steven (4 out of 5 stars)
An original, distinctive, and highly satisfying diet plan, The Warrior Diet is meant especially for those who pursue an active lifestyle.
— Midwest Book Review" There was some good information, but I didn't like the "fasting" method. If you're eating, than you're not fasting. The book needed more citations and research to support his claims. "
— Alex, 8/27/2013" I've been eating as outlined in this book since before I finished it. "
— Eric, 4/5/2013" If you are to follow this book, I would advise you only follow the diet portion and not the weight training. "
— Michael, 4/2/2013" Not scientifically backed up. Very little good reasoning on the actual topic. "
— Kevin, 3/21/2013" Definitely an interesting approach to eating patterns, and he does make some valid points. For my own personal goals, I follow a much more relaxed IF split, but it was definitely worth browsing through this book. "
