"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 9- Fasting

I am hungry today... I had a banana for breakfast since I've decided to go off of the water fast for a day or so to see how it affects my weight. I think I'm going to get a large chili, baked potato, and an iced tea from Wendy's tonight. After dinner I'll eat nuts until I'm full. I'm going to see if my weight changes at all after having almost no carbs (except for the potato of course)

I'll put some pictures up once I get a chance to take them, but I still have plenty of stubborn fat to lose, so I don't think I've reached the point where my muscle is increasing at a rate that the scale doesn't show any weight change (per my body fat % readings).

Just an observation, it seems like if you break a water fast with fruit or w/e you actually have more hunger than if you just knuckle up and go without eating. I don't know if this hunger pain means your metabolism is going faster, or if your insulin is spiking and your metabolism is actually slowing down.

must look into this and find out.
