The Warrior Diet may seem self-explanatory, but I would argue that not only is it more than a diet, it is a beneficial way of life . The Warrior Diet began when an Israeli special forces man decided that the standard way of eating wasn't working for him, a modern-day warrior (Hofmekler). This man's name was Ori Hofmekler (Hofmekler). During his special forces training, Ori realized that the standard three meals a day would not fit into his busy schedule (Hofmekler). He only started eating in the evening before going to sleep, because that was when he had time to eat (Hofmekler). At first, this routine was strange and seemed to have negative effects on his performance, but as he continued, he found that his energy and alertness had increased and he was sleeping soundly (Hofmekler). He was curious as to why this contributed to his overall well-being and so he began to conduct research (Hofmekler). He discovered that he was not the first to come up with this idea and that ancient warriors had been following this same lifestyle for ages (Hofmekler). It was at this point that Ori called this lifestyle the “warrior diet” (Hofmekler). Rather than a counterfeit version of this warrior lifestyle, it was an update (Hofmekler). Ori added ideology to the old way of life. The ideology that the warrior regime became was based on many presuppositions and the most interesting are those that I will address in this article. These presuppositions are that physical fitness is the key to well-being in any area of ​​life (Hofmekler). This implies that whatever the goal, fitness is the means to the end. The next assumption is that preparing the body to handle excessive stress will help it function under "normal" ... middle of paper ... life in which you excel.
