Resumen del Editor

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An original, distinctive, and highly satisfying diet plan, The Warrior Diet is meant especially for those who pursue an active lifestyle." (Midwest Book Review)

Don't be a yoyo diet sheeple

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The narrator is well pronou6and has good rhythm. The content of the book is inspirational. It gives such a great reference to the "original" ways of eating, and how our bodies were designed to be nourished. It cuts through all the "smart science" way of modern day diets that isolate nutrients in an attempt to trick the body into being lean. NOT HERE! This book explains how to speak the same food language as your body and help it find it's correct form.

Read this immediately and cut through modern day diet noise.

My personal Bible

Life changing... no. Life enhancing! I absolutely agree and consider the science and philosophy behind Ori's Warrior Diet the true way human beings are meant to live.
Remember our ancestors. Who survived successfully and healthily for tens of thousands of years by living this way. After all we have only had access to super markets and fast food for under 100 years.

Thank you to Ori and all those who made this book possible.

Listen to your instincts!

I have been with Audible about two years, I decided to listen to this book even though it was released in 2013. It was because of the reviews I decided to give this book a whirl. I was pleasantly surprised and liked the book more than I thought I would- because I have listened to many many health books. I liked his simplicity and his common sense.

Good book, repetitive info

I feel that this book has good information, however, he keeps repeating the same thing over the chapters. Basically eat healthy micromeals during the day and eat a big healthy meal at night and make sure to exercise. He takes almost two hours to read you exercise routines at the end!! i think the info in this book could be conveyed in under three hours.

Yes, I Am Ready...

I admit to having no clue if the teachings in this book are scientific or not. I also admit that there *might* a hair too much machismo rantings strewn about. And, I do not care. Loved the book, and practicing the diet. ...best way to find out, for me!

pdf companion?

Good book, but where is the pdf companion? Can and should form part of any lifestyle cycle.

Great Book

We all should incorporate this lifestyle there is only tremendous benefits than disadvantages just do it!

informative and interesting

I found this book very informative and really enjoyed the historical aspect. I definitely feel better eating in the way he suggests.

Okay philosophy, troubling facts

I found the warrior diet to be a confusing mix of pseudo-human philosophical ideas and a mixture of unverified nutritional information. It seems the author is more concerned with actualizing some primitive idea of the “warrior“. He seems to use this term very lightly applying it across culture and human experience in an unspecified timeframe. Needless to say it romanticizes some idealistic point in human history. A golden age of warriors which is undefined and seems to include a variety of classical agrarian cultures. Concepts such as toughness, nourished, fighting, pure, lean, strong or functional- Seem to be used liberally. I think the warrior diet is less of a diet based on scientific nutritional analysis and more of an idealistic/romanticized state that the author wishes human beings to occupy.
Although the warrior diet states some alluring concepts, which I personally find to be empowering -As a practicing nutritional therapist I find his nutritional information to be scattered at best. a combination of hard nutritional facts mixed in with pseudoscientific fad diet derived theories such as “acidic foods” or “blood type” diets. What perplexes me even more is how these “warriors” and all seem to agree with these concepts unilaterally across time and space. Statements such as “Warriors agree on this “ Seem to play into this fiction. The author Promotes personal development, Self inquiry and intuitive eating: all concepts that I find to be very helpful therapeutically. Not all of his nutritional information is off-base, in fact I like his multidisciplinary approach. But most, if not all of this is personal opinion. He starts most hard statements with “in my opinion ““I believe ““I think that”, This preface tends to bode particularly confusing in nutritional discussions. Especially for people who are struggling with real health problems, are overweight, or I’ve had a long difficult health journey.

The author claims ideas as facts when they are mostly personal preference. justified by a variety of different nutritional sources and historical generalizations. The author professes in the first few lines of his book that he is “naturally lean and athletic” showing how little he has dealt with serious health disorders- in sum, very little personal experience.
If you’re looking for a fun diet experiment or to simply hear someone’s opinion around integrating modern life styles with an antiquated idea of warrior life. In this book is for you. I also recommend this book for anyone who overly thinks and is heavily severe on their own diet journeys. Especially someone who jumps from one fad diet to the next. There are some liberating principles here that shouldn’t be wholesale ignored. But please treat this as food for thought ...if you’re looking for a very sound scientific and grounded discussion on applied nutritional contacts I think you should look somewhere else. This book may offer freedom for one person, and the next person offer utter confusion.
