"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 19

Finally! It's Friday... I must say, working out five mornings and two nights Monday through Friday does take it's toll on me by the end of the week. I had a good hard class last night, woke up feeling sore all over, but because I had a banana with some peanut butter before going to bed I wasn't completely exhausted when I woke up. I had another banana before I went to the gym this morning, so that gave me enough gas to make it through my workout. I weighed myself this morning, and I was at 166 lbs, that's a few lbs lower than when I started, I'm definitely starting to see a change in my shape though, so I'm not too worried about my weight. I'm in the last 11 day stretch of my 30 days so there won't be as much to post, but I'll take a picture when I'm done and throw it up there with my other two, that way I'll be able to see how my body has changed over the year.
