I'd like to know from someone who follows the Warrior diet
while
also being involved in physical exercises of any kind, how on
earth
can you follow this diet ?!
The eating approach I follow, which is the same as DZ, works well for
me. I'm very happy with my body composition. I have grown very
slowly
leaner and more muscular as the years have worn on. I maintain my
bodyweight by simply getting on the scale every morning - if I'm
gaining
weight, I eat less, and if I'm too light, I eat more.
It's not that simple. How do you eat more?
Do you just add a meal per night or do you just add foods to your
meal?
The second case is not always possible because there's a limit on the
amount of food your stomach can hold in one sitting, so you can't just
say "I will eat more food tonight" because your stomach won't allow
you
too
I do cycle my WD-style eating - I'm what you'd call a social eater,
and
on the weekends, I typically have a nice, big, carbohydrate-filled
brunch one or both days with my wife and kids, and just generally eat
whatever I want. During the week I eat less during the day, fewer
carbs
overall, and fewer total calories per day. Typically my weight is
highest on Monday mornings and lowest on Friday or Saturday but the
difference isn't much, maybe 3 lbs. or so.
One thing I don't think gets mentioned enough in connection with this
style of eating - the body's dependence on regular feedings can, like
just about anything else about our bodies, be trained. Most people
who
try WD style eating and fail do so for the same reasons a new weight
lifter might fail - too much change too soon. I took my good old
time
about getting used to eating this way and looking back now, I'm glad
I
did.
How do you train your body by eating more in a sitting?
Simple, you stretch the stomach and I know this is not an healthy
thing
to do just like getting the stomach atrophy is not healthy either
I'm 51 years old, 153 lbs. this morning, 5' 8" tall, and deadlifted
364
lbs. in competition in the 148 lb. weight class and raw division of
the
AAU just last year, which is just shy of 2.5 times bodyweight, an
accomplishment I'm very proud of, even if John Hanson thinks it's no
big
deal. :)
How many calories do you consume daily?
So far I've seen a low caloric consumption linked to WD but what about
2500/3000 calories daily, how could someone consume so many calorie in
a single sitting at night?
Again, it's not a matter of will power, hunger, shortage of daily
calories to me is a simple matter of bulk and size, no stomach can
bear
the amount of food necessary to get 2500/3000 calories in a sitting
OK, Davide, here's a food day in the life of a Freides and the exercise
as well - no clue about calories except for the protein bar:
11am - after working at my desk for a couple of hours, walked to
Starbucks with my somewhat overweight, definitely out of shape
82-year-old mother and had a medium vanilla latte with whipped cream.
Worked out at around noon. I'm in a back-off week so it was pretty
easy:
One-arm kb mil press: 70 lb. kettlebell, 2 singles each side
One-arm kb windmill, 53 lb. kettlebell, 5 reps each side
Two 25 lb. kb overhead squats x 4 reps, 5 reps (brutal exercise I'm just
starting out on, which is why the light weights),
DL: 275 (75% 1RM) x 4 on 2 inch platform, 275 x 4 on 3 inch platform.
One-arm kb swings, 53 lbs, 14 rep each side.
Remember, back-off week - took a few days off around the past weekend,
light/easy weights the last few days, will up the volume starting on the
weekend or next week. http://www.kbnj.com/log.htm for my full training
log for anyone bored with life, er, uh, interested in my training. :)
4pm - had one of those MetRX big protein bars - about 400 total
calories, 25-30 gr protein, 50 gr carb, if memory serves. Who says
they're only for bodybuilders? :) Also 16 oz of iced green tea (made at
home, brought with). Had been on job site since 2:00pm.
6pm - was still at a job site and knew I wouldn't be home for dinner, so
I took it with me. Two large, soft, whole-wheat tortillas rolled up
with sliced ham, lettuce, mayo. Figure another 25-30 gr of protein,
unknown carbs and fat.
Taught at YMCA lifeguard class from 8:00 to 9:30pm.
10pm - two organic (small) bananas in a bowl, a decent amount of
semi-sweet chocolate chips, microwave until the chocolate melts and the
bananas are cooked.
Lots of water throughout the day - a guess would be 3 liters. Also the
usual small pile of vitamins in the morning, a few more on the way home
in the car.
My protein target is one gram per kilogram of bodyweight, so 65-70 grams
per day, and I think I got about that.
