The Warrior Diet

Switch on Your Biological Powerhouse for High Energy, Explosive Strength, and a Leaner, Harder Body

By: Ori Hofmekler

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

Along with the many benefits of leisure-class living comes obesity and its attendant ailments. In The Warrior Diet, Ori Hofmekler looks not forward but backward for a solution - to the primal habits of early cultures such as nomads and hunter-gatherers, the Greeks, and the Romans. Based on survival science, this book proposes not ordinary dietary changes but rather a radical yet surprisingly simple lifestyle overhaul.

Drawing on both scientific studies and historical data, Hofmekler argues that robust health and a lean, strong body can best be achieved by mimicking the classical warrior mode of cycling-working and eating sparingly (undereating) during the day and filling up at night. Specific elements from the Warrior Diet Nutritional Program (finding ideal fuel foods and food combinations to reduce body fat) to the Controlled Fatigue Training Program (promoting strength, speed, and resilience to fatigue through special drills), literally reshape body and mind. Individual chapters cover warrior meals and recipes; sex drive, potency, and animal magnetism; and personalizing the diet for women.

Featuring forewords by Fit for Life author Harvey Diamond and Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill author Dr. Udo Erasmus, The Warrior Diet shows listeners who are weary of fad diets how to attain enduring vigor, explosive strength, a better appearance, and increased vitality and health.

Critic reviews

"An original, distinctive, and highly satisfying diet plan, The Warrior Diet is meant especially for those who pursue an active lifestyle." (Midwest Book Review)

Don't be a yoyo diet sheeple

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The narrator is well pronou6and has good rhythm. The content of the book is inspirational. It gives such a great reference to the "original" ways of eating, and how our bodies were designed to be nourished. It cuts through all the "smart science" way of modern day diets that isolate nutrients in an attempt to trick the body into being lean. NOT HERE! This book explains how to speak the same food language as your body and help it find it's correct form.

Read this immediately and cut through modern day diet noise.

My personal Bible

Life changing... no. Life enhancing! I absolutely agree and consider the science and philosophy behind Ori's Warrior Diet the true way human beings are meant to live.
Remember our ancestors. Who survived successfully and healthily for tens of thousands of years by living this way. After all we have only had access to super markets and fast food for under 100 years.

Thank you to Ori and all those who made this book possible.

Listen to your instincts!

I have been with Audible about two years, I decided to listen to this book even though it was released in 2013. It was because of the reviews I decided to give this book a whirl. I was pleasantly surprised and liked the book more than I thought I would- because I have listened to many many health books. I liked his simplicity and his common sense.

Good book, repetitive info

I feel that this book has good information, however, he keeps repeating the same thing over the chapters. Basically eat healthy micromeals during the day and eat a big healthy meal at night and make sure to exercise. He takes almost two hours to read you exercise routines at the end!! i think the info in this book could be conveyed in under three hours.

very practical an 17 years later very useful

nice book. keto friendly with a twist.. i like a lot tjhis book in fact
