"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- overview of the weekend

Well, I made it through the weekend without drinking pop, I have to admit, I really wanted some for a while, but I just stuck to the water, and I'm glad I did. I did however splurge a little bit on the junk food side of things, I had a bag of recess's pieces, Friday night, a hot fudge sunday on saturday night, and a bowl of peanut butter ice cream on Sunday night. While this was about all the junk food I had over the weekend, I still could have gone without having it every night of the weekend, since there is really no value gained from eating sugar, actually more harm is done than good.

I had trouble getting out of bed this morning, so I skipped the Y. I'm thinking about going this evening and doing some running or something... I'm kicking around the idea of training for a 5K. I don't know, we'll see. I still really want to get back into boxing, so I might not focus on the 5K thing after all, since I train with one focus instead of haphazard training.
