Review
Summary |
The Warrior Diet written and created by Ori Hofmekler with the help of Diana Holtzberg believes weight management can be achieved by taking advantage of both under eating and over eating. Hofmekler is a former member of the Israeli Special Forces and he recommends people forget calorie counting and instead return our bodies to our basic instinctive eating style which is “undereating” during the day and “overeating” at night. This book suggests that breakfast is actually the worst meal of the day to eat and that people should skip it entirely. Instead people should eat one main meal in the evening with only light snacking of fresh fruits, vegetable and small amounts of lean proteins throughout the day. There is a pie chart example of the number of hours a person should and should not eat. It says for 20 hours of the day undereating should occur while for the last 4 hours of the day overeating is allowed. When people follow this plan Hofmekler says it will result in building muscles, burning fat, slow aging and accelerate metabolism. We do not know if there is scientific backing for this perspective which certainly flies in the face of most dieting advice.

Currently this book is sold for $24.99 in hardcover form, a little pricey for a book published in 2001. The site says that there are used and paperback copies of this book also but the prices for these were even more than the hardcover which didn’t make sense. We would suggest shopping around before purchasing.

The website had several great tools for getting a sense of what Hofmekler is talking about. The editorial reviews and customer comments gave great insight to this book and helped us to understand what to expect on this diet. The excerpt from the book was excellent and allowed us to see Hofmekler’s writing style which was friendly and informative. We were actually disappointed when the excerpt ended and were eager to read what else the author had to say. The table of contents shows that the book also contains recipes and exercise routines for people to follow in order to help them slim down.

| Final Thoughts |
|
The Warrior Diet is an interesting way to look at eating and weight loss. The idea of following an eating method that reflects our natural and basic instincts is appealing and seems logical. Hofmekler’s research and beliefs on the different types of eating styles such as predator/hunter instincts vs. scavenger instincts were painfully accurate in today’s world. We think it will make people really have to look at themselves to determine who they are and who they want to be. We would not recommend this book for people who are looking for a way to bulk up and build muscle mass because the author himself says that his method is all about sliming down and getting leaner. If you are seeking a weight loss supplement, be sure and choose a product with ingredients that address both aspects of successful dieting. A proven fat-burner is needed to address excess fat on the arms, belly, hips, thighs and buttocks, and a modern appetite suppressant is needed to control caloric intake and help curb cravings. Effective weight loss happens when both dieting needs are addressed. Add a healthy eating plan, and exercise – and you will have success.
