I would love for anybody who has success with the warrior diet or any version of this to please post what you did to achieve success. any responses would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I lost 5 pounds on it. I do not recommend it. Fat Fast and Massive Eating -35% have worked better.
Hey I’m not a bodybuilder just a guy who lifts for fun and mental release in his hot dirty garage; so for my goals it has been great so far. But I can see how it could be a mistake for a dedicated BB. I read everything I could find on the net (haven’t read Ori’s MMP articles) and did it pretty much as he suggested in t-mag. I seldom eat during the day- workout around 5pm then eat an hour later. Basic meat chicken or fish with salad w/olive oil, steamed vegis and brown rice or potatoes. I usually have a snack about an hour later like a protein bar or shake and then repeat again a couple hours later. Easy. My goals are to be lean and hard as possible but not sacrifice my strength. I use Pavel’s PTP and lift 3-5 days a week. When I started I used Powerdrive and took glutamine as he mentioned. Currently only use PD when I need a little extra push. I love the mental edge I truly feel the diet gives me- I feel much sharper and never feel drowsy like after a meal. I have been on it 4 months. My early mistakes were snacking during the day which made it much harder and filling up too much on salad and vegis before attacking the meat. I still think you should eat as clean as possible to make this work. If I snack during the day its a piece of roasted chicken or hardboiled eggs. Although my lifts are going great and BF is visibly less, the real benefit is the increased mental accuity and potential longevity effects (real freedom). I don’t assume everything Ori says is true or correct historically or nutritionally but he is definitely onto something here. Sorry for the boring post. If you have a specific idea or question Mark let me know. BTW I hate the name Warrior Diet but it could make a hilarious ad campaign for a supplement line.
Actually, I gave it a try. I may not have followed it to a T, but I did the no food all day, then basically overfed myself at night. I have to admit, it seemed like it was helping me shed some fat at first, but after about a week and a half, I didn’t notice anything else. I quit the diet, not for that reason, but because in the 3 weeks that I tried it, the entire time I felt like I was in a dream. when I would get home from work, I would eat and eat, just like it reccommends. All that food in my stomach made me so tired at night, that I felt completely out of it mentally the entire time I was doing this diet. During the day was alright, but from around 5 until I went to bed, I was zoned out. As soon as i started eating normally again, I was fine.
