"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 6- Day of rest

Well I got about 9 hours of sleep to help recover from my softball day. This was the worst day of the weekend. I went to my GF's family reunion (which wasn't a problem) but it was right around lunch-time, I had about 3 brats, 1 hamburger, and a hot dog. Then I decided to binge on the junk food... I had a bunch of cookies and brownies and etc. By the time I was done I felt like someone needed to roll me to the car.

I've always had this thing where I eat for pleasure. Not all the time, but every once in a while I'll go "I haven't had a binge in a while, what sounds good?" then I'll go all out. I always regret it when I'm so full it hurts, but for some reason I seem to forget that feeling, then I do it again. I've been doing it on the weekends (I guess to "reward" myself for eating good through the week) But I would like to stop now. That is going to be a focus of this 30 day diet (btw, I didn't have any pop or coffee this weekend :D)
