Testosterone's Guide to the Warrior Diet

I don't like a lot of complicated instructions. Stuff like that really makes me mad and prevents me from getting involved. So, after analyzing the Warrior Diet, I've put together a simple guide on how to get started. Now, this is my interpretation of the program. It's a little less extreme than Ori's version, so don't blame him if it doesn't work for you. Most of us here agree that if you utilize the following information, you'll have the best chance for success.

The Warrior diet is based upon two extreme phases: overeating and undereating. And you cycle between the two phases each day. Normally, I'd recommend that you take a break from dieting one or two days a week. But I don't think you'll need to do that with the Warrior diet because cycling between the extreme phases keeps your body from adapting to the program. Also, the overeating phase will take care of your desire to binge.

Undereating phase: Breakfast to 7pm

Breakfast

• Neurotransmitter boost — Power Drive, one serving

• Glutamine, ten grams

• Metabolic support — Thermadrol or Ripped Fuel, one capsule

9am

• Glutamine, five grams

Noon

• Protein shake — Two scoops of Grow! mixed with five grams of glutamine

• Metabolic support — Thermadrol or Ripped Fuel, one capsule

3pm

• Protein shake — Two scoops of Grow! mixed with five grams of glutamine

30 minutes before workout

• Neurotransmitter boost — Power Drive, one serving

• Glutamine, five grams

• Metabolic support — Thermadrol or Ripped Fuel, one capsule

Workout: 6pm to 7pm

Overeating phase: 7pm to one hour before bedtime

Dinner 1

• Large lettuce salad with raw, low-glycemic vegetables
• Protein, one to two pounds of lean beef, chicken, fish, etc.
• Steamed vegetables (any kind)
• Brown or wild rice
• Fresh fruit (optional)
• For seasoning, use two to three teaspoons of any good oil (olive, safflower, EFA), spices, lemon juice, tomato sauce, etc.
• Eat until full

Dinner 2 (one hour later)

If you're still hungry, go for it! Eat anything you want. Really! You've tempered the effects of what you're going to eat during the second meal because you ate the right stuff in the first dinner. Be honest with yourself, though; if you're stuffed, don't gorge yourself some more. Try eating whatever you have a pang for, too, like pizza, ice cream, even candy. Of course, if you want to, you can be a wuss and make it nonfat frozen yogurt or stewed tomatoes, poached tofu, etc.

Dinner 3 (one hour later)

Once again, if you're still hungry, be my guest. If you can make it this far, you're a bottomless pit. Repeat the recommendations spelled out for the second dinner, and then pass out. The following day, buy a toga and start wearing sandals, because you're one step away from becoming one of those Romans who eats 'till the point of bursting, vomits it all out, and eats again until the slave chicks can't find any more food.

Bedtime

• Glutamine, ten grams
