Diet: Day 20- The Machine

"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 20- The Machine

Today was a long day. I started by eating a banana and a couple cups of coffee. We made it out to the resort at about 9:30, and snowboarded for about 4 hours. I ate a orange for lunch and had half of one of those G2 gatorades. I should have gone with a vitamin water instead... oh well. was feeling pretty good until about 1 or 1:15ish and I just had an energy crash. I don't know if I needed more fruit, or if the gatorade caused me to crash... it only had 7 grams of sugar, I guess it was corn syrup, go figure.

we went to bob even's for dinner and I had my usual sausage and cheese omolet, and a chery cobler for desert. good stuff :D
