the warrior diet is just one big meal a day. I think it allows for raw foods earlier in the day like nuts and seeds, but nothing cooked until the one meal. Yeah if I was a better morning person I would have been working out in the morning for awhile now.
I've been reading some interesting new research on fasting actually. THey did a study on muslim rugby players who were fasting for ramadan. So I think they were only able to eat like once a day or once every few days and only after sundown or some shit like that, Traz could probably give specifics here. ANyway, they found that GH, IGF, norpeniferine (sp?) and other powerful hormones shot way up. In fact they say that detecting these hormones in normal individuals is almost impossible but they know it's being made, but when people are fasting so much is being released it's easy to detect. The reason our bodies make these hormones is because it used to be when we hit the fasted state our bodies were telling us to go out and hunt. So the GH is for muscle preservation and the other nuero chemicals are to make our minds sharper and clearer, increasing the connection between the brain and muscles. What I found really interesting is that biologically, when our bodies want us to be at our most athletic.....it shuts testosterone off. The test only comes back on once there is a caloric surplus. Test may actually be kind of an inefficient and overrated muscle builder. Yeah it works in synthetic form but as most of us know here you gotta take alot of it and over time you have to take more and more. It's probalby why shit goes away so fast once you stop. We might be overlooking more useful and more powerful chemicals.
