Listen to your instincts!

I have been with Audible about two years, I decided to listen to this book even though it was released in 2013. It was because of the reviews I decided to give this book a whirl. I was pleasantly surprised and liked the book more than I thought I would- because I have listened to many many health books. I liked his simplicity and his common sense.

Don't be a yoyo diet sheeple

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The narrator is well pronou6and has good rhythm. The content of the book is inspirational. It gives such a great reference to the "original" ways of eating, and how our bodies were designed to be nourished. It cuts through all the "smart science" way of modern day diets that isolate nutrients in an attempt to trick the body into being lean. NOT HERE! This book explains how to speak the same food language as your body and help it find it's correct form.

Read this immediately and cut through modern day diet noise.

Okay philosophy, troubling facts

I found the warrior diet to be a confusing mix of pseudo-human philosophical ideas and a mixture of unverified nutritional information. It seems the author is more concerned with actualizing some primitive idea of the “warrior“. He seems to use this term very lightly applying it across culture and human experience in an unspecified timeframe. Needless to say it romanticizes some idealistic point in human history. A golden age of warriors which is undefined and seems to include a variety of classical agrarian cultures. Concepts such as toughness, nourished, fighting, pure, lean, strong or functional- Seem to be used liberally. I think the warrior diet is less of a diet based on scientific nutritional analysis and more of an idealistic/romanticized state that the author wishes human beings to occupy.
Although the warrior diet states some alluring concepts, which I personally find to be empowering -As a practicing nutritional therapist I find his nutritional information to be scattered at best. a combination of hard nutritional facts mixed in with pseudoscientific fad diet derived theories such as “acidic foods” or “blood type” diets. What perplexes me even more is how these “warriors” and all seem to agree with these concepts unilaterally across time and space. Statements such as “Warriors agree on this “ Seem to play into this fiction. The author Promotes personal development, Self inquiry and intuitive eating: all concepts that I find to be very helpful therapeutically. Not all of his nutritional information is off-base, in fact I like his multidisciplinary approach. But most, if not all of this is personal opinion. He starts most hard statements with “in my opinion ““I believe ““I think that”, This preface tends to bode particularly confusing in nutritional discussions. Especially for people who are struggling with real health problems, are overweight, or I’ve had a long difficult health journey.

The author claims ideas as facts when they are mostly personal preference. justified by a variety of different nutritional sources and historical generalizations. The author professes in the first few lines of his book that he is “naturally lean and athletic” showing how little he has dealt with serious health disorders- in sum, very little personal experience.
If you’re looking for a fun diet experiment or to simply hear someone’s opinion around integrating modern life styles with an antiquated idea of warrior life. In this book is for you. I also recommend this book for anyone who overly thinks and is heavily severe on their own diet journeys. Especially someone who jumps from one fad diet to the next. There are some liberating principles here that shouldn’t be wholesale ignored. But please treat this as food for thought ...if you’re looking for a very sound scientific and grounded discussion on applied nutritional contacts I think you should look somewhere else. This book may offer freedom for one person, and the next person offer utter confusion.

A life changer

My appreciation for food has revolutionized. For the animal, for the farmer, for the preparation and cooking. I mostly liked the nutrition and hormone function portions of the book. The history lessons were interesting, and I suppose necessary since you base your diet off of these ancient warriors.

The workout portion I could have done without but I can see how it would help a sedentary.

It has changed my life in less than a week. I had a work meeting two days ago in which I did the majority of the speaking while everyone else ... well.. stuffed their faces with taco rice. Ironic in so many ways!

READ IT. APPLY IT.

This book will change your life.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, without hesitation. I have been practicing the Warrior Diet for over a year now and it delivers on everything Ori Hofmekler promises it will.

What other book might you compare The Warrior Diet to and why?

The Anti-Estrogen Diet. It is also by Ori Hofmekler and is a good supplementary and complementary read to The Warrior Diet.

What about R. C. Bray’s performance did you like?

His voice is clear and distinct.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It helped to free me from the bonds of the scavenger lifestyle most of us have been directed towards for the better part of our lives. It made me feel liberated.

Any additional comments?

Buy this book and make an effort to stick to its regimen, it will change your life.

My personal Bible

Life changing... no. Life enhancing! I absolutely agree and consider the science and philosophy behind Ori's Warrior Diet the true way human beings are meant to live.
Remember our ancestors. Who survived successfully and healthily for tens of thousands of years by living this way. After all we have only had access to super markets and fast food for under 100 years.

Thank you to Ori and all those who made this book possible.

it's ok

personally I thought this book was just okay. it's a bit too macho and a lot geared towards men I think women could definitely get something out of it but it's definitely geared toward the masculine. I'm not the biggest fan of his diet plan I do more of a intermittent fast and don't exactly agree with all of his eating recommendations but that is just my personal opinion overall I think this diet plan would work for people trying to lose weight detox and get fit. although I think that your diet and what you're eating should be a bone personal preference because every diet doesn't work with everybody.
