First of all, let me say this.... I was totally skeptical of this "diet" before I tried it.
This is not really a diet, it's a lifestyle change. a completely new way to look at eating.
My problem is typical, I eat very very healthy, exercise, etc. But in the evening it all goes out the window because I become ravenous and end up scarfing 500 calories of peanut butter on granola bars.
Now, I'm not overweight, in the least. I am a very healthy 5'10'', 150 toned lbs. But the eating thing has been stressing me out for years. I'm constantly counting calories in my head and worrying about late night sneak attack binges.
A few weeks ago, I read about the "Warrior Diet" and I became instantly intrigued.
The thing I found so fascinating, is that is is COMPLETELY contrary to everything I currently adhere to, in regards to when to eat. Interestingly, a few weeks ago I also realized that the majority of society is crazy anyways, and I made a silly mental note to myself to believe the opposite of everything I hear on television.
anyways....
what this diet says is that during the day, you do an "undereating" phase. basically eating only raw low impact foods all day. carrots, apples, plain yogurt, almonds, etc. then around sun down, or whenever you are a few hours from bed, YOU FEAST!!! meaning you save the bulk of your calories for night time.
Now, I know that this sounds crazy, and seemingly counter productive to weight loss,, but let me tell you this, I've been doing this for a little over a week now, and I LOVE IT SOOO MUCH.
What I love about it, is I know that even though I'm kind of hungry during the day, I will get to eat till I"m full at night and not feel bad about it. and the funny thing is I've been UNDER in my calories every day because once I start eating at night, I get so full so fast that I can't eat everything I plan on eating.
Now, please understand that there is a LOT more to this way of life than I'm explaining here, and if you are at all interested I highly recommend googling it and reading the book. it took me a whopping two days to read, and about two days to transition. It was much easier than I thought, mainly because even when I get hungry during the day, Its easy to deal with because I know I'll be eating at night.
But most importantly, I"m happy. and I'm not counting calories all day.
