"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.

In with the allergies out with the cold

Its safe to say my cold is gone, I knocked it out with "Airborne" and "Zicam". I think I took enough vitamins to cure cancer. but yeah, the day I was over my cold my allergies kicked in. Now I'm taking an "Airborne" formula for seasonal relief. Can't really say if its working or not yet, since I've just started taking it. I went out and bought a multivitamin/mineral... this thing stinks to high heaven, and I swear, its got to be a horse pill, the thing is huge! anyways I'm not going to be doing the "protein" bar and "mineral" water in the morning anymore (more like candy bar, and juice)

I'm comfortable with the eating pattern, now I'm working on my following the diet a little more closely. Its a continues improvement project.

Tonight I'm going to load up on cheese and nuts, and maybe a chicken salad. I want to get back down around 167 lbs again. I've been eating kind of crapy lately. (im up to 170.6, so its not like i've gained 10 lbs for falling off the wagon, I even had a beer last night after I'd eaten my easter meal, and a early "breakfast" dinner. I didn't notice any impact in my weight, so i think the occasional alchoholic beverage isn't going to hurt anything)
