Six weeks into it and loving it!
It feels good to be hungry...and I know that tonight I feast. This is a great way to eat! I feel very sharp mentally, and have good energy. I don't agree with him regarding his philosophical explanations for things, but when he sticks to the science he seems to be right on, and it's working. I've only lost a few pounds, but that's in line with my goal, losing fat and gaining muscle and strength. (I lift weights 3 - 4 times a week and supplement with protein powder, glutamine and creatine.) I'm aiming at 10 percent body fat...I believe I will achieve this.
A diet that makes sense and is easy to follow
The problem with most diets is that they based exclusion of certain types of food or food groups. Modern nutritionists and modern society has forgot the single most important part of your dietary health, which is allowing your body time to convert the fat in your body into energy. This was my natural instinct when I was skinny little boy, but after over a decade of forced constant feeding, by the time I was in my teens I became overweight with virtually no muscle mass and was constantly getting sick. I even got in trouble with the teacher in elementary school one time for trying to skip lunch. Ofcourse now I'm skinnier, faster, stronger, and healthier, but I'm still striving to reach my ideal fitness level. You can eat the most healthy food we want, but there is no way you can burn off all the excess body fat without allowing your body time to detoxify itself, unless you follow the fitness routine of a professional athlete. Don't get it wrong, this is not a starve yourself during the day, binge on cheeseburgers at night diet. During the day you just eat raw uncooked veggies and fruits(try avoid the fruits with heavy sugar like grapes and water melon) and drink water while at night eating as much as you want of any and all food groups, preferably organic food. I've only been on this diet on and off for a few days, so I can't accurately tell you the results. But I can say that I feel better about myself on days that I practiced the diet then on days that I didn't.
A diet that Works !!! What more do you want ??
This diet has worked wonders for me. I would not be so impressed if I had not already have been working out hard and "watching what I ate" for 6 months.
So basicaly the easy first 10 to 15 pounds were already long gone.
I lost 10 pounds the first week and 2 continue to loose 3 pounds a week.
Don't let the "fasting" hype scare you away.
Basicaly it involves a few basic principles.
1 breakfast isn't the most important meal of the day.
2 recognize the difference between being hungry and just wanting to eat something
3 you can and should chow down and go to sleep on a full stomach.
Overall I highly reccomend it !!!
Hey, it works
I have not yet really studied this book in all the detail the author supplies. I'm just doing 'the basics' and find myself easily losing weight. The 'overeating' phase is my favorite . What the author says about dieting is certainly true for me, a month or two and I no longer have any interest in the program. This method seems one that is no real hardship, awareness of one's blood chemistry and adjusting during the day to bring weight loss is a piece of cake, especially after the first week or so. I am two months into it and see no reason I will go back to the old daytime carbs and sugar that seems to be The American Way.
Try The Fast 5 Diet book instead
Constant irrational hunger? Never full? Even when you restrict calories, does the fat cling to you for weeks? Have you failed over and over?
This book works. And you feel fully alive.
But it's full of hype and quasi history and fluff. This book is more motivational than informational. A better book is The Fast-5 Diet. It'll take you two hours to read. Then buy the Warrior Diet book for motivation and inspiration.
