"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.

New tact

this blog has untill now been soly for my warrior diet progress. Since my trial period of 30 days is up, I will start journaling my over-all fitness progress. I have no intention of stopping the warrior diet, the only thing I would like to know anymore has to do with bloodwork, and what the long term effects (6 months or more) of this eating pattern are.

Most likely I'll start talking about my powerlifting progress, because that is about the only thing I'm doing for fitness right now. I have a lot to learn yet, and will probably post my revolations. I am also very interested in natural nutrition, so I may do some studys with certian supliments to see for myself if they do in fact improve the quality of life. This blog is not something I'm writing to help other people (if you find it usefull, more power to you) but just a journal for myself. I don't expect people to go through each post and read everything I write, with that in mind, my thoughts might be a little bit scattered at times.

My goal right now is not to build muscle, but strength. I would like to keep my bulk down below 200 lbs and be able to deadlift 3x my body weight. and have a decent bench too. my goals change with time, so I'll keep this updated as much as possible.

im still sick (cold) so right now I feel like crap. give me a few days to beat this thing then I'll feel like singing the praises of the warrior diet.
