According to Ori Hofmekler, author of The Warrior Diet, "As a hunter/gatherer, the human species has evolved to actively gather, hunt, fight or flee to survive. Nowadays in a world of convenience and plenty, we don't need to gather or hunt for food, rarely do we need to fight or flee. Our inherent survival mechanisms that have kept our species alive for many thousands of years are all but shattered today and rather than actively surviving, we are now passively dying."
In spite of advent science and the ever-growing number of diet programs, prescription drugs, health products and billions of dollars spent annually on health care, we are losing our ability to survive and reproduce. Men's sperm count has dropped by a staggering 20 percent in only one generation. Virtually all women are prone to suffer from hormonal disorders in their lifetime. The rates of obesity, diabetes, sterility and cancer among men and women are at an all time high. This is the first time since the Black Plague during the fifteenth century that the lifespan of a new generation is predictably shortening.
The Warrior Diet is a call for action. Based on survival science and anthropological research, the book proposes a radical yet surprisingly effective solution to our current health crisis. Its premise: eat one main meal per day, avoid chemicals, and exercise properly.
Hofmekler shows how to nourish the body in accordance with its innate circadian clock, carefully distinguishing between a.m. foods and p.m. foods for improved metabolism and increased energy, resulting in a leaner, healthier and stronger body.
Endorsed by health experts and researchers, featured by magazines, medical journals, television and newspapers worldwide, The Warrior Diet breaks new ground in guiding people to restore their ability to manage weight and sustain health in today's world.
Ori Hofmekler is also the author of The Anti-Estrogenic Diet and Maximum Muscle, Minimum Fat. For more information, please see www.warriordiet.com. Ori Hofmekler can be reached at ori@warriordiet.com.
Praise for The Warrior Diet:
"I believe The Warrior Diet will create a revolution in people's lives – a renaissance of the spirit of raw living. It covers all aspects of life…with a clearly defined diet that I find to be as effective for women as it is for men."
-Harvey Diamond, author of New York Times' #1 bestseller Fit For Life
"Rare in books about foods, there is wisdom in the pages of The Warrior Diet…Ori knows the techniques, but he shows you a possibility – a platform for living your life as well…The Warrior Diet is a book that talks to all of you – the whole person hidden inside."
-Udo Erasmus, author of Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill
"In my quest for a lean, muscular body, I have seen practically every diet and suffered through most of them. It is also my business to help others with their fat loss programs. I am supremely skeptical of any eating plan or "diet" book that can't tell me how and why it works in simple language. Hofmekler's The Warrior Diet does just this, with a logical, readable approach that provides grounding for his claims and never asks the reader to take a leap of faith. The Warrior Diet can be a very valuable weapon in the personal arsenal of any woman."
-DC Maxwell, 2-time Women's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion, Co-Owner, Maxercise Sports/Fitness Training Center and Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy East
"The Warrior Diet certainly defies so-called modern nutritional and training dogmas. Having met Ori on several occasions, I can certainly attest that he is the living proof that his system works. He maintains a ripped muscular body year round despite juggling extreme workloads and family life. His take on supplementation is refreshing as he promotes an integrated and timed approach. The Warrior Diet is a must read for the nutrition and training enthusiast who wishes to expand his horizons."
-Charles Poliquin, author of The Poliquin Principles and Modern Trends in
Strength Training, Three-Time Olympic Strength Coach
"Ori Hofmekler has his finger on a deep, ancient and very visceral pulse – one that too many of us have all but forgotten. Part warrior-athlete, part philosopher-romantic, Ori not only reminds us what this innate, instinctive rhythm is all about, he also shows us how to detect and rekindle it in our own bodies. His program challenges and guides each of us to fully reclaim for ourselves the strength, sinew, energy and spirit that humans have always been meant to possess."
