Publisher's Summary

Along with the many benefits of leisure-class living comes obesity and its attendant ailments. In The Warrior Diet, Ori Hofmekler looks not forward but backward for a solution - to the primal habits of early cultures such as nomads and hunter-gatherers, the Greeks, and the Romans. Based on survival science, this book proposes not ordinary dietary changes but rather a radical yet surprisingly simple lifestyle overhaul.

Drawing on both scientific studies and historical data, Hofmekler argues that robust health and a lean, strong body can best be achieved by mimicking the classical warrior mode of cycling-working and eating sparingly (undereating) during the day and filling up at night. Specific elements from the Warrior Diet Nutritional Program (finding ideal fuel foods and food combinations to reduce body fat) to the Controlled Fatigue Training Program (promoting strength, speed, and resilience to fatigue through special drills), literally reshape body and mind. Individual chapters cover warrior meals and recipes; sex drive, potency, and animal magnetism; and personalizing the diet for women.

Featuring forewords by Fit for Life author Harvey Diamond and Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill author Dr. Udo Erasmus, The Warrior Diet shows listeners who are weary of fad diets how to attain enduring vigor, explosive strength, a better appearance, and increased vitality and health.

A trailblazing book

Twenty years ago Ori was more or less the first person to popularize what today is called intermittent fasting, or what he called at the time "undereating" during the daytime before "feasting" in the evening.

Since then he and others have refined the concept and related health ideas quite a bit (today in 2018 he's far less keen on meat, for example), but if you're a student of the history of IF and the ketogenic diet, this book is essential reading/listening about this extremely beneficial health movement of the 21st century.

The narrator does an excellent job, with writing that can get a little bombastic at times (think Nietzsche writing a diet and exercise book...) but it's all good fun, with lots of anecdotal stories and observations, as a lot of the scientific studies on IF hadn't been carried out yet when the book was written.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
