The warrior diet, made famous by Ori Hofmekler (pictured) is based on a simple principle of only eating one main mail a day, and eating this meal in the evening. That doesn't mean you don't eat anything during rest of the day, it just means that you eat very little during the day.
This goes against traditional diets for people who are training for strength, size, weight loss or whatever. Traditional diets will be based on either 3 meals a day or 5 smaller meals a day. But this warrior diet is quite interesting.
Ori argues that being a little bit hungry during the day keeps you alert, keeps you fresh, while eating too much can make you bloated and lethargic. We've all heard how you shouldn't eat a large meal before going to bed. Personally, I never believed in that, and neither does the warrior diet. The idea is that eating a large meal makes you sleepy right? So doesn't it make sense to eat just before going to bed? Also, the body needs energy to digest that food. If you're not doing anything except sleeping, then the body has a lot of spare energy that it can use to digest the food properly. That's the theory anyway, I'm not saying that's how it is, but it could be, because it sounds logical. I haven't tried this diet, but I may do sometime.
Ori claims that by following this diet you will notice an increase in energy and strength, and will also become leaner without changing your overall calorie intake.
