"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 3- Lunchtime

well, nothing to report here. I had some raspberries and coffee for breakfast, and an orange around 10:30 or so. Now I'm munching on a carrot for lunch, I'm not really hungry, but felt like eating something.

one thing I noticed this morning was during a really boring long meeting I was able to stay fully alert through out the whole thing. Normally when I have a meeting like that I have to fight to stay awake, and my mind is almost "clouded".

On another note, my fellow "warriorer" Splint Chesthair found a really good article about intermittent fasting. check it out here.

Other than that, I still haven't "crashed", felt my blood sugar level go low, been really hungry, or any negative symptoms. I have however been more alert these past few days then before, its like I've been asleep this whole time, and I'm finally awake.

Side note: If you go over to my traineo site, you'll see my weight trend for the last week or so, this week since I've been on the warrior diet my weight change has been accelerated. I'm down to 174.4 lbs
