Just recently I wrote about the Paleo ‘Caveman’ diet and why it shouldn’t be confused with The Warrior Diet… here’s the one simple reason why The Warrior Diet will fail for most people…
The Warrior Diet requires far to much discipline for the average person. Essentially you eat nothing all day then pig out in the evening.
This is simply out of the question for most people who can’t go longer than a few hours without eating food.
That said, there will still be people who know that long term there is no way they will have the discipline to stick to this way of eating… but they’ll still try it.
Then what they’ll do is pile on even more weight then ever before when they go back to eating their old ways.
Ori Hofmekler’s is an ex Israeli Special Forces Op who idealizes the ancient warriors of the mediterrian, and middle east. His fasting during the day pig out at night lifestyle is like a quasi religious experience for him. He really gets off on it.
If you are this type of person then I’ve no doubt that you could get off on The Warrior Diet and Lifestyle too.
I don’t trust people who idealize and worship the spartan type warrior as some kind of noble with a mystic higher cause. These types of ideas and beliefs are the foundations to what makes human beings the most sadistic and violent animal to ever live on the planet.

They were probably the most physically fit as well. Why can’t we just take nutrition tips from them and leave the whole conquer the world with force part out.
Also, I am on the warrior diet, and find it a much easier lifestyle.
When one eats 3-6 meals a day like suggested by most mainstream media and nutritionists, it is much harder to make the right food choices, especially if you are a busy person.
I am pretty busy. So, I take a couple fruits with me to work, drink plenty of water during the day. When I get home at night, I am able to cook a very healthy “feast” so to speak.
I have been steadily losing weight, and I fell much better as a whole.
Anyone who is skeptical to this diet, should really read the second edition book.
This is not an advertisement, but really to understand how the diet works scientifically, you need to read the book to get all the little fine details that Ori has researched.
Also, you can goto ihealthtube.com and search for “Ori Hofmekler”, and watch any of the videos.
He is not just an ex-israeli soldier, he is also an artist, and very smart person.
WTF? You are retarded. The warrior diet is awesome. If you don’t have discipline you should get some it’s not hard to train yourself.
I’m a personal trainer who spend most of my day on my feet training people for long hours a day. I’ve been doing the Anti-Estrogenic diet which is Ori’s other book. Same principle as the Warrior Diet but balancing out our hormones. I really enjoy and stand by this diet and have been doing for over a year now. Clearly it’s not for everyone, as I found out by trying to put my clients on it. Those who stick with it love it, look and feel great!
It´s the worst diet to follow, because you have no discipline? Is that your point? If so, that´s poor. Also, ther is no real “fasting over the day” because you eat 6 small meals. And why should it be wrong, to pursue a lean, athlete body like romans and spartans did? Do you have to follow their whole ideology? No. You are a thinking human being aren´t you? Sorry, but that was a very poor critique of yours.
@Silva, read the post properly. I said it’s a poor diet because it requires far too much discipline for most people. That point is entirely valid. Most people don’t have the required discipline.
Most people who try this diet will fail because they lack the personal discipline and then feel bad about themselves. That’s what makes it a bad diet. It’s completely unrealistic for the vast majority of the population. It’s a classic set up for a yo-yo diet.
If it works for you and you have the discipline. Great. You will be part of the small percentage of the population who gets good results with this diet. But advocating this diet for the average person is a mistake.
