"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- Workout and Meal

well, I went to the gym after work.

I'm trying Ori's controlled fatigue training plan.

HIIT on the treadmill for 10 min. run 11mph for 30 sec, and jog 6mph for 90 sec.

Leg extensions (2 sets)

calf extensions (2 sets)

one legged calf raises (2 sets for each leg)

2 different types of squats (2 sets each)

and some lunges (2 set)

safe to say my legs were burning ^_^

for my ab work I did some hanging leg raises, hanging leg extentions, a couple sets of crunches on the bench, some reverse crunches, and back for some more hanging leg extentions.

Now my abs and legs are killing me ^_^

I ate dinner at my girlfriend's house, she had eggs, and hash browns. I brought over a saled to eat before my meal, and some oatmeal for after. even though I ate two helpings of eggs I was still hungry, so I ran over to sub-way to grab a six inch pizza sub ^_^ after eating all that I still wasn't stuffed, just satisfied. Oh, and she had some homemade donuts ^_^ I had one, it didn't affect the way I felt (they are small, about the size of a donut hole)

I was tired after dinner, but not the kind of tired you get from eating, it was more like my body was tired from the workout. I need to incorporate post-workout meals into my diet.

On another note I've been losing weight like crazy. I'm down to 173.6lbs today, and about 12.5 percent body fat as best as i can tell with my stupid plastic calipers. (don't buy plastic calipers ^_-)
