Anybody ever try the warrior diet? I’m currently reading the book and I’m intrigued by it. I currently weigh over 300 pounds at 6 foot even. So the need to loose weight is of the utmost priority.

From what I gather it’s eating one big meal a day; usually at night. Then just snacking on healthy foods during the day. Which might actually be beneficial too me because my problem with weight gain is I love to snack on junk food.

Also now that I find myself financially stable I can start buying healthier snack foods like nuts, veggies, jerky, etc... My problem though is going to be avoiding the unhealthy snacks and portion control on the healthy snacks.

So just curious if anyone has tried the Warrior Diet.m???

I haven't done it but I have heard of it along with intermittent fasting. It is known sometimes as OMAD. One meal per day.

For me I don't think IF works. I am overweight but I think it is due to dieting my whole life and suppressing my metabolism -- not insulin. Which is the basis behind all IF.

When I was doing IF I did enjoy the energy surge from not eating and the not being hungry.

Please dont do this. Many of us women have been dieting on and off for most of our adult lives. That is unhealthy too-yo yo dieting isn’t good for your body and may even mess up your metabolism so that its harder to re-loseweight.
There are many reasons why this method is faddish and unwise. It is hard on your body to try to digest one huge meal . If you eat it at night you will be inactive when you sleep with no chance to work any of it off just by doing things. Your blood sugar will be out of whack. At your weight ,you are risking a lot of damage to your health from the get go. The first to hit would be diabetes followed by heart disease, then vascular and kidney problems. So glad you seem really motivated to change.
Sorry, the thing that is going to work best is the gradual approach of eating right and consistent exercising. If you do WeightWatchers online or in person, you will get consistent and regular encouragement from others and learn a healthy way to lose wt.
Another trick is to stay active—no sitting around the house. We’re with you! Hugs!

I did this a couple times when I didn’t feel like eating throughout the day. Both times I ended up with a bad stomachache and I only ate like 1,100 calories. I personally don’t recommend it.

Hello thanks for the advice. I guess I was kind of taken back when the book kept saying eat and train like a ancient warrior
