"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.

Is it Friday yet?

I woke up and my body thought it was friday... took me about five minutes to convince myself that I wouldn't feel any better if I slept for another hour. Apparently the holidays have taken their toll. I'm feeling sore from my workout yesterday morning, since I've got my MMA class tonight I just did some HIIT training on the treadmill for 20 minuts before hitting the weight room. Another reason for running is because doing burpees all the time tend to wear on my shoulders, and by the end of the week I can't lift my hands over my head, so I'm taking it easy in that sense.

I did really well yesterday as far as eating goes. For dinner I had cajun chicken and whole grain pasta. My only regret is while I was waiting for the pasta to cook I polished off half a bag of sun chips (those garden salsa ones :P) while they were whole grain, I could have picked a more nutriant dense snack.
