Simple Outline

By Adam Mundorf

My View on Diet and Nutrition

I've had my struggles with food throughout the years, from body dysmorphia in my teens to binge eating in my adulthood.  Regardless, I have some ideas that I have found make sense and work well for me when I apply them.  I'm a huge proponent of the Warrior Diet style of eating created by Ori Hofmekler.  During the day you keep calories minimal or carefully applied.  At night, you eat to your hearts content.  I feel that this style of eating is much more intuitive and conducive to a healthy life.  We've all had that large lunch in the middle of the day that leaves you feeling more tired and unproductive.  The Warrior Diet aims to avoid that.  During the day you keep it light and at night when you're relaxing after a long day lived, you eat to your hearts content during rest.  In the next session I'll lay it all out.

Simple Outline

• Day-time
• Water
• Little Caffeine
• Fruit
• Vegetables
• Light Protein
• Night-time
• Post Workout
• Whey Protein Concentrate in Whole Milk with 5 grams of Creatine with fruit
• Piece of fruit without the protein shake, if I didn't workout.
• Large Salad
• Steamed Vegetables
• Protein Source
• Meat
• Eggs
• Pizza 
• Carb or Fat Source
• Rice
• I only use rice after days where I eat eggs.
• Intuition
• It's important to realize that the Warrior Diet style of eating is based on intuition and personal feeling.  You're not a robot and you need to keep your eating style flexible depending on circumstances.  Use your head.
• Some days you might just drink water during the day.  Other days you might have some fruit and light protein snacks.  Other days, you might have to fast for a day or two.  It's all good, stay flexible.
• Hypertrophy
• If you're looking to gain muscle and want to change this dietary process, here are a couple ideas for you :
• Add in a small pre-workout snack of protein with a bit of fruit.
• Maybe a glass of milk with a banana or something of the sort.
• Pulse feed some light protein meals throughout the day, every 3 to 4 hours.
• Milk with some fruit.
• A salad with a handful of nuts.
• Yogurt with Fruit
• Supplements
• Multi-Vitamin before Bed
• Whey Protein Concentrate
• Creatine

When to 'Cheat' LOL

I hate that word cheating.  I feel that taking every major holiday off to eat whatever you want AND take a break from exercise.  Don't be that weirdo who brings Tupperware to Christmas dinner, just enjoy the day.

My Personal Schedule for Protein Sources

• Monday
• Eggs
• Tuesday
• Pizza
• Wednesday
• Eggs
• Thursday
• Pizza
• Friday
• Eggs
• Saturday
• Pizza
• Sunday
• Eggs

I feel the above schedule is simple to follow and gives me a nice variety of protein sources, so I don't get too much of one thing. 

Thanks for Reading.
