"What does a warrior eat?". That may sound a bit silly in this time and age, but the question still applies. Nowadays when people think "warrior" they probably think of athletic icons, people they see on television, the gym rat who is always at the gym, and a whole slew of other images of "warrior" that bombard us each and every day. While it may be true that those people are at the peak of athletic excellence, they are often the most un-healthy people out there. Between all the chemicals they put into their bodies, and the nutritionally shallow foods most of them eat, they are really not the ones we should look to for a model of how a warrior eats.

A warrior only eats things that are natural, whole, and nutrient dense. Lots of fruits and vegetables, plenty of plant based fats and protein, moderate amounts of lean animal protein, and water. In short, a warrior only eats things that will help him to be more healthy, and not things that will passively kill him.

This page of my blog is dedicated to articles reviewing diet books, warrior worthy food ideas, and my ideas on diet.

Day 10

Well, today my co-worker's want me to go out to lunch with them. We're going to Chipotle.

I never decided I was going to do the diet non-stop for 30 days or anything, but im not sure what I'm going to do. Honestly, I don't want to eat because I know I'm going to work out after work today... I think I'm just going to go with a salad or something. The funny thing is... I don't feel bad about deviating from my diet, but I just don't want to. I like feeling good I guess.
Edit:
Well it turns out I never went out to lunch... so I just had a banana for breakfast and one for lunch. I was feeling nauseous around 2ish and realized that I hadn't had any water since my coffee in the morning. So I grabbed a water and was feeling better in a little bit.
My workout after work was intense... I'm reading Ori's other book called "max muscle min fat" and he explains the difference between "fast twitch" and "slow twitch" muscles. I decided to incorperate both aspects into my workout.
First I started with bicep curls, my set conisted of:
5 reps as fast as I could with a really heavy weight, then imedieatly do another 5 reps with a lighter weight really slowly.
I did the same thing with triceps. My whole workout was:
run 1/2 mile
Biceps 2 super-sets
Triceps 2 super-sets
Biceps 2 super-sets
Triceps 2 super-sets
Abwork
and about 3 wind-sprints (for about 100 meters on the track is a straigt-away, then I jog around the curvy section for my next sprint)
For dinner I had spagetti and breadsticks.
2 helpings of spagetti
4 breadsticks
