Chronicles of a Struggling Dieter: How the Warrior Diet Changed My Life I would definitely consider myself to be ‘one of those girls’. I would literally try any diet that promised even the slightest of a weight loss! Ketogenic? No, thank you! The crash was awful. The military diet? Oh, no! Only if you can stomach the taste and texture of cottage cheese and hard-boiled eggs. Cabbage soup anyone? Let’s not get started on the terrible smelling gas associated with this diet. Carb cycling? Somewhere in the middle I forgot if it was a high-carb, low-carb or no-carb day, so I would just reset at high-carb and ended up gaining tons of weight. I have tried everything! Thankfully, however,

That’s what so spectacular about the warrior diet. You don’t have to do a thing! There’s no meal prepping for the week. You can throw that chicken breast and sweet potato you prepared 3 days ago in the trash. No, seriously! Don’t eat it! You don’t have to spend a shit load of money on expensive organic, gluten-free, tasteless foods. You don’t have to spend hours in the gym or more shit loads of money on Rob whose nickname is ‘the fat slayer’ who’s body is actually full of fat underneath the steroids and secretly wishes he had the discipline to try the warrior diet. There are no gimmicks! No protein shakes to purchase! No protein bars to buy! None of that! You’re simply left with your own will to succeed at the end of the day (pun intended). Do you get it? You succeed at the end of the day? That’s when you have your last meal. Yes, that was a lame joke, but please don’t judge the success of this diet on my ability to deliver a …show more content…
I know mind blowing right? You get to eat the calories you didn’t consume for breakfast and lunch for dinner. According to Emily Hodgkin, the warrior diet is not a sustainable way of eating in the long term and can be very difficult to stick to, especially if you live with people who are eating three meals a day. It is possible you may run into issues explaining to family you can only eat a handful of nuts for lunch while they’re scorching down a burger and fries, but it’ll be okay when they see your results. Anyways, you can always have yours for dinner when all your buddies stop eating at 6p and trying to convince themselves their peanut butter, butterscotch, chocolate turtle brownie with cookies n’ cream protein shake tastes anything more than chalk on

The other 70% is how we eat. Anyone can workout for an hour, but how many of us can control what we eat for the other 23-hours in the day? To find how to make healthier choices in the day I went to Hello-Bistro to check out their juice bar.…

    Introduction Benjamin Franklin stated, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure (Ringwall, n.d).” Although Franklin was referring to fire safety, the excerpt is suitable for health prevention.

    I have learned a lot about nutrition so far over the course of this semester. This diet analysis project was probably the thing that I have least looked forward to having to complete. I know my diet is poor, I figured I ate too many bad foods, but I didn 't expect it to be lacking essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in so many different areas. It 's truly amazing to see foods I thought were "complete" and "good" for me, aren 't really, and may actually hinder me in the quest for a truly healthy diet.…

    In my life I've been on tons of diets. I've tried Atkins, Weight Watchers, South Beach, not eating, "cutting back", pills, shakes, juices, powders, bars, and just about anything you can think of. Of course I've also had my thin friends tell me weight loss diets are so easy - just do it! I don't know about you but one thing I don't like is people who have never had a weight problem trying to tell you how to lose weight easily. They think we overweight people have some sort of control problem and that our weight is all our fault!…

    A simple grocery plan for a person could include buying one pound of 93% lean ground turkey, an eight ounce bag of spinach, a few bags of frozen vegetables, a box of strawberries and other fruits, a dozen eggs, steel-cut oats, and a loaf of twelve-grain bread.
