Warrior Diet.

[Avraham]

Anyone do it? I am a week in, properly.

From waking up until 4pm I only eat one piece of fruit, a cup of coffee, numerous cups of water, and a handful of nuts. Between 4pm and 8pm, I eat several large, nutritious meals.

One week in and I am no longer hungry during the day but I feel tired as fk.

Anyone have advice or experience?

Never heard of it but sounds interesting. Like to hear how you've adjusted after a month.

I've never done it, but I do something similar to IF. I didn't plan on it, but I just like eating large meals instead of smaller meals and ended up doing my own pseudo thing.

Anyways, on days I train once, I eat twice. I eat 1/2 my total calories on each meal. Meal 1 is 9 or 10am depending, and Meal 2 is always 6pm

How many large meals can a person possibly consume in a 4 hour time span without feeling extremely bloated?

When do you feel tired? all the time? or in the evenings? Are you in calorie deficit or surplus? and what were you doing before you started the die (calorie wise)

If it just makes you tired, why do it?
A catchy name doesn't make it a good diet.

You don't eat until bloated. You are suppose to eat until you can feel that you are near being full. Rest for about 20-30 minutes and...IF you can eat more, do that again. It doesn't leave me bloated.

I feel tired when I get home from work and kick my shoes off. I never counted calories, even before this diet.

The fatigue is apparently an expected adjustment, per se. Your body will apparently adjust to it.

The closest athlete to who practices this in MMA is Ronda. She follows something quite similar to the Warrior Diet or IF.

Never tried it. The only fad/rogue diets I ever tried were the Slow Carb/4HB diet and the Spartan Health Regimen. Had good success with each of those, Slow Carb was harder to stick to and becomes boring and repetitive. Spartan I've drifted away from but will be switching back to it permanently soon - mainly because I like to eat that way anyway, more than anything else.

Didn't like it. Over time I lost weight and got weaker and weaker in the Weightroom. I think it's got it's beneficial for very sedentary folks.
The whole 'warrior' thing is a total gimmick btw.

Yeah this no more than a name. I know this.

How are you feeling now? any better? ...your bloodsugar must be going crazy

Well that alone would cause most fat people to lose massive amounts of weight.

It's funny, this is nearly exactly what I do as well but it's usually 11:00-11:30 for the first meal. I was trying to push it to midday for a proper 18/6 IF split but always seem to get really hungry around 11:00. Oh well.

I'd much prefer two large meals per day than multiple small ones.
