the protein power diet

The Warrior Diet is a controversial diet created by former Penthouse (magazine) editor and former Israeli Special Forces soldier Ori Hofmekler and marketed by Dragon Door. He created it based upon his own personal experiences, expanded upon by his opinions of how warriors ate (namely the Romans, similar to Spartan Health, though others are referred to), why their methods were effective, how these methods can be adapted to the modern age, and reasons he thinks these methods are more effective than the more scientific and common methods of dieting.

The diet has a daily feeding cycle of "undereating" during the day and "overeating" at night. He has based this upon his perception of how warriors used to eat, grazing lightly throughout the day and gorging themselves at night. Protein Science Skimmers. The "Undereating Phase" supposedly maximizes the sympathetic nervous system's (SNS) fight or flight reaction to stress, thereby promoting alertness resulting in energy generation and ultimately fat burning.

The emphasis on the evening meals and semi-fasting throughout the day, does not use calorie counting or any form of mathematics or calculations to the body at all. Hofmekler rejects science continually throughout the book, despite relying on it in other instances to back up certain theories of his. This is a rather controversial means, as you can't pick and choose science. Diet based on higher protein/lower carbohydrate approach to losing weight and lowering cholesterol and blood pressure.
