Diet: Day 8- Morning

"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.

Day 8- Morning

I went to the Y this morning, did a heavy bag/speed bag workout. Then I did some body weight exercises (pull up's/push up's/tricep dips). I'm noticing that in the morning I don't really have that "fogy" feeling anymore, I'm pretty alert once I wake up. This might be due to the complete absence of caffeine in my diet. Today I have some banana's, and I'm going to try to eat that broccoli, I'm never in the mood for it when lunch time comes around.
