A Warrior Diet Question?

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 07:06:25 +0000

I was recently researching the warrior’s diet, and it seems to go against everything we’re taught, that eating one meal a day at night will crash your metabolism and make you gain weight while you sleep. I know that you’re supposed to eat small amounts of low to no carb uncooked food, such as cottage cheese, berries, and nuts, and the occasional protein shake after workout, but how does this work? How does it work when it goes against everything ever taught? Also, what foods would people recommend during the under-eating phase?

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 01:04:40 +0000

Hi,
I’m currently training for marathons, and am working very hard. My trainer checked my diet diary the other day and admittedly I have been surviving on ‘rabbit food’ for a while now – which was resulting in no fat loss, but plenty of muscle loss…..
He has recommended more protein and loads of complex carbs….so could someone shed some light on how this day sounds???? I’m a 5 foot 4 inch, 21 year old female, weight is 58kgm body fat% is 18%.
Breakfast:
- 3 slices of cape-seed (wholemeal grain bread with 16 types of grain/seed), 1 with light and natural peanut butter, 2 with jam
21 KILOMETRE RUN (focus on hills, stride length, speed and endurance)
- Post run: 3/4 cup skim milk with 1 scoop of whey protein powder and 1/2 a low carb protein bar an hour later
- Lunch: 2 sandwiches made on cape-seed bread with 85grams of tinned salmon (natural in springwater), with salad.
- Gym workout: 15 min high intensity cardio, 40 mins of weights and abs
- Post workout: 2 slices of cape seed bread with light and natural peanut butter OR 1 large banana and a handful of nuts
- Dinner: Salad with chicken and sweet potato
Many thanks!

I just started working out at the gym. I want to loose about 15 pounds before summer..There are soooo many different diets out there and I dont know which one to follow..I have tried the Atkins and I NEVER want to see another egg or hamburger patty again in my life.. It worked but I hate the food that you have to eat ALL THE TIME. So should I count calories, fat, or carbs? How long per day should I work out so it is effective? Is morning or night better to work out?
I am 29 yrs old

Question About A Low-carb Diet, Would This Work?

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 07:04:29 +0000

I need to lose a lot of weight. Luckily, I love meat. I know carbs are what I should stay away from. How something like this:
Breakfast: 3 or 4 eggs with cheese and ketchup
Lunch: a couple baked pork chops
Dinner: a large barbeque chicken breast
Would this work? I’d still be getting carbs from the ketchup, and cheese and the tiny bit found in other things.
What should I add?

Low Carb Diet Question?

If i do a low carb diet people say i will gain the weight back but i dont think i will if i slowly add back the carbs and make sure i only eat healthy carbs like whole grain breads, brown rice, and fruit. Usually when people say they gained the weight back they said they went back to their regular eating and they gained it all back but if i eat a good amount of calories to maintain my weight in healthy food then i shouldnt have a problem right???? What do you think.
