Has anybody here ever read or even practice the warrior diet? I have had enormous success following the warrior diet, I'm almost down to 5% bodyfat, and I only practice the warrior diet 2-3 times per week. In case you unfamiliar with the warrior diet, it is by Ori Hofmeckler, an ex Israeli Special Forces, and it is based on a phase of undereating, followed by a phase of overeating. This may sound ludicrous to most people who are used to eating every 2-3 hours, and I was extremely skeptical the first time I read it, but after actually implementing it into my life, all of the claims Ori made in the book have been accurate. While I am in the undereating state(which is supposed to last 16-18 hours including the time you are asleep) I feel more alert and energetic. I consume light protein and veggies during the undereating phase, but no meals, and I also work out during this time as well. I plan my workouts so that way I go straight form the undereating phase into the overeating phase(works great for timing your post workout recovery). And I still eat very good during the overeating phase, but I eat an enormous amount, anywhere form 3000-6000 calories. I start with leafy, fibous vegetables, move onto lean protein and good fats, and finish with complex carbs.

Like I said, I cycle the warrior diet with the typical frequent feeding routine about everyday, but with the results I've been having, I think I might permanently follow the warrior diet. As mentioned my body fat is lower than it has ever been, yet I've retained all of my muscle mass and strength, I really couldn't be happier with the results.

I just wanted to know if anyone else here has ever tried the warrior diet and/or had similar results? I'd also be happy to help anyone get started on it if they are interested, and I know it sounds extreme, I was quite dubious at first myself, but once you try it, you will probably never go back. Heres a link to the website if you are interested:
 
That sounds interesting. I had read somewhere in the past that an sudden increase in caloric intake was naturally "anabolic". That book suggested alternating periods of under-eating with periods of over eating, but I recall they recommended 1 or 2 week periods, which seemed too long to me.

I noticed Ori has 2 books: "The Warrior Diet" published in 2007 and Maximum Muscle, Minimum Fat: The Secret Science Behind Physical Transformation published in 2008. Which one is better to read?
 
Yes Ori has a couple of book outs now, also the anti-estrogenic diet, but the warrior diet is by far his most successful. The book actually recommends you follow the warrior diet as a lifestyle, so that you never actually go off of it. It has been working incredibly for me and I'm thinking about following it daily as opposed to every other day, you should definitely give it a shot if you have any interest at all, I'm sure you'd be happy with the results! Just make sure you read the book thoroughly before starting because there are a lot of important details in there, especially about how to eat during the overeating phase. Heres the link again if you're interested:
 
I should also note that ori's controlled fatigue training methods are also very effective, but even if you are not going to implement the warrior diet, it is still worth a read, just because of all the interesting concepts and philosophies that Ori presents
 
Israel is not exactly the cornerstone of nutrition or fitness. When you are ready, I recommend something based on more scientific research like the SEALS program.
 
I'm familiar with the SEALS program, and I believe Ori was in the SEALS as well. Im not claiming that Israel is the cornerstone of health and fitness because they certainly arent, but I am crediting Ori for establishing this diet, which has brought a lot of success to me and many others
 
If you want to know about the warrior diet or any other diet, google has always been around. There is no need for people to be posting affiliate links and spamming the whole site.
 
This isn't about informing people about the warrior diet, if you read the original post its about inquiring if others have had success with it and to what extent. Take your disingenuous assertions elsewhere
 
Since I've been on the warrior diet, my body fat percentage has been dropping, yet I have not lost any muscle mass, and have even gained strength. The concepts behind this are that a sudden increase in calories(following specific eating guidelines) following a controlled fast, puts you into an incredibly anabolic state for putting on muscle, but not body fat. The other factor to consider is that eating only one meal a day makes your body utilize protein and other macro and micro nutrients much more efficiently, meaning that you get more bang for you buck per gram of protein you consume.
