The Warrior Diet by Ori Hofmekler
- Core idea: Eat like an ancient warrior. Fast or undereat during the day, then eat one large meal at night.
- Daytime: Light, minimal eating—mostly raw fruits, vegetables, small amounts of protein (eggs, yogurt, whey, etc.), and plenty of water, tea, or coffee. The point is to stay in a low-insulin, high-alert state.
- Nighttime: One main feast (4-hour eating window). Focus on whole, unprocessed foods: lean proteins (meat, fish, eggs), vegetables, healthy fats, and some carbs (like potatoes, rice, or grains). Start with veggies, then protein, then carbs if you want.
- Philosophy: Mimics how early humans survived—active and alert while hungry, then eating at night after the “hunt.” Supposed to align with circadian rhythms, improve fat-burning, mental focus, and hormone balance.
- Rules:
- Undereat: small snacks only, don’t trigger digestion-heavy meals during the day.
- Overeat: eat until satisfied in the evening, but avoid junk or processed foods.
- Exercise fits naturally into the day (strength training, short bursts).
- Benefits claimed: fat loss, muscle gain, improved energy, mental clarity, better digestion.
