Diet: Day 1- Rules

"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 1- Rules

1. I'm only eating fruits and vegetables through the day
2. I'm not having any dessert (candy, brownies, cookies, pop, etc..)
3. I'm allowed to drink coffee this month
4. Eat a big meal for dinner
5. Exercise every day
6. Eat 1 serving of superfood at least 3 times a week

I had my first shake this morning. It was 30 grams of protein powder, frozen berries, flax seed oil, and organic whole milk with DHT added. All in all, pretty tasty :D

This morning I had a light workout, since I was kind of feeling sick from too much junk food last night. That will be the last time I feel like that for 30 days at least ;)
