Do you want to lose weight? Has your current diet plan failed to work? Want to get rid of
that bit of flab that just doesn’t want to go away? If you answered yes to at least one of
these questions, I have a great diet plan for you. It is known as the Warrior Diet plan, and
was designed by Ori Hofmekler in 2001.

Unlike the conventional diet plans, the warrior diet plan requires you to under eat during
the day and have a feast at night. It is based on the principle that in ancient times the
warriors would exercise on an empty stomach and eat very less during the day and eat
their kill at night.

This eating and exercising routine kept the warriors well-toned and fit. True, it will take
some time to adjust to this new eating habit, but this diet plan really works. And in this
article, I will show you how to make this diet plan work for you. So, let’s start right away!

Many women complain about not losing weight even after following a nutritionally
balanced diet plan. And that’s because everybody responds differently to different diet
and exercise plans. The Warrior diet plan works by giving your body the time to burn the
calories by using the concept of intermittent fasting. This diet lets you deplete energy
levels in the day.
Hofmekler says nutritional stress is more vital than exercise. When you combine both

and eat the right food, it leads to weight loss and fitness. Also, during the fasting phase,
(https://www.stylecraze.com/?ref=nav)
you need to keep yourself active and hydrated to prevent fat accumulation and aid fat
mobilization. In fact, the warrior diet was created by keeping the ancient warriors in
mind.

Warriors would eat very little in the morning, exercise on an empty stomach, and have a
feast at night. This balance of fasting and exercising kept them active and fit, and they
did not have an inch of extra body fat.

Keep Yourself Hydrated

The first and most important guideline is to drink more than just 8 glasses of water per
day. You can have 9-10 glasses of water during your fasting phase. Make sure to drink
filtered water. You can also fortify your water with nutrients by adding cucumber, mint,
lemon, cinnamon etc. Drinking water will help you feel full and also keep your body
functions running.

Eat Protein-Rich Foods

In the warrior diet, you are allowed to eat a substantial protein-rich dinner. This helps to
reduce the carb intake and helps to rebuild the worn out muscles. You can also have
protein powder with milk to give your body an extra dose of protein.

Eat One Main Meal

Unlike the conventional diet plans, the warrior diet requires the dieters to eat one main
meal, which is dinner. For breakfast and lunch, the dieters are allowed to have low-
calorie foods such as eggs, yogurt, legumes, veggies, and fruits.

Learn To Control Hunger

We all know that eating every 3-4 hours will help in weight loss. But warrior diet doesn’t
advocate that. Like the warriors in the middle of a battle or hunt, you should train your
brain to endure hunger. When you do this for a few days your body will eventually learn
to stay away from food during the fasting phase.

Avoid Processed Foods

Any kind of processed food is not allowed when you are on the Warrior diet. Processed
foods contain higher amounts of sugar, salt, artificial flavors, colors, food preservatives,
and taste enhancers. These are very harmful to your health. You should buy natural
produce from a local grocery store. If you are eating out or ordering from a restaurant,
avoid fried chicken, sausages, burgers, pizza, fries, and even ketchup.

Exercise To Get Quick Results

Warriors spent a lot of time either fighting or hunting, which helped them expend a lot
of energy. So, if you are on the Warrior diet, you should exercise regularly to expend the
energy and get back in shape. You can do a mix of cardio, strength training, weights,
and yoga to keep the workout routine fun and engaging.
So, now that you have the guidelines, let’s take a look at the warrior diet meal plan.

MEALS WHAT TO EAT

Early Morning (7:00- 7:45 Warm water with 1 tablespoon honey and juice of ½ a lime

a.m)

Breakfast (8:30 – 9:00 a.m) Options:

milk

2 pita breads + kidney bean chili + grilled veggies + 1 small piece of dark chocolate + 1 cup

buttermilk

Pasta + 1 small portion of tiramisu + 1 cup warm milk

Broccoli, carrot, and potato casserole + 2 tablespoons fruit custard

Why This Works

You are technically allowed to eat three times a day in this diet plan. Starting your day
with a glass of warm water, lime juice, and honey is a great way to flush the toxins out,
improve bowel movement, and boost immunity. Breakfast will typically contain a good
source of protein (https://www.stylecraze.com/articles/top-25-protein-rich-foods-you-
should-include-in-your-diet/), healthy fat, and dietary fiber. Lunch should be a bare
minimum, but nutritious. Fruits and veggies contain a good amount of vitamins,
minerals, dietary fiber, and complex carbs. Yogurt is rich in good gut bacteria that aid
digestion. For dinner, have a good portion of protein, complex carbs, and dessert to
reward yourself and to keep your taste buds alive.

Here is a food substitute list if you are allergic to any foods listed in the diet chart or are
a picky eater.

Initially, it would be tough to control your hunger and stick to the diet plan. But, by the
end of the third day, you will lose a lot of water weight, which will instantly make you
look slimmer. You will feel less bloated and more active. Regular exercise will also help
to mobilize the fat and build lean muscle mass. Therefore, your body fat percentage will
go down. Mind it, when you build muscle and lose fat, your weight may not go down
drastically but your body fat percentage will. And, that’s what you should aim for. Don’t
worry, you will not look muscular like men, you would look slim and toned. This means
that you will not have the aftermaths of quick weight loss such as flappy arms, loose
skin, and loss of lean muscle mass. You will look and feel great and would want to
continue being on this diet.
The Warrior plan seems to do everything right. But are there any risks involved? Let’s find

Risk Factors
While the theory of undereating followed by a phase of indulging in foods may work, it
may not be suitable for every individual. People with certain physical conditions may
develop health complications after intermittent fasting. Women who are pregnant or
lactating may develop various health problems, and they should seek medical advice
before following it. Owing to lifestyle and job needs, adhering to the diet may not be
possible for many people.

That said, the Warrior diet is definitely a diet that has worked for many people. It is a
valid and fitter option as compared to other quick weight loss diets. You will lose weight
quickly, but without harming your health in this diet plan. So, try this new diet plan today
