Re: Warrior diet for weight loss
Sounds good. But remember that Ori Hofmekler says in his book that the ideal time to undereat is during the day because when you are undereating this is when you will have the most energy. So if you want to you can try and have your meal a bit later in the afternoon.
Scientists have continually proven century after century that fasting is a natural miracle for radiant and youthful health. Just do a google search or check out some nutritional journals.
In April of this year (2007) the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition conducted and completed studies and experiments on humans (not mice, which they did in 2004) for intermittent fasting. They would fast all day and eat all of their meals between 5PM and 9PM.

"A controlled trial of reduced meal frequency without caloric restriction in healthy, normal-weight, middle-aged adults." [Exactly like the Warrior Diet]
This is scientific evidence that intermittent fasting is a healthy way of eating despite all of the brainwashing that we need to eat three to six meals a day.
I have been on the Warrior Diet every day for almost 2 years. I eat my main meal between 6PM and 10:30PM (depending on when I get home from work, sometimes I get home after 10PM). I am very lean and healthy. I have youthful looking skin. I eat plenty of healthy foods at night and supplement vitamin C during the day and omega-3 fish oil. I drink lots of water during the day.
I went to the doctors last year and my blood glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure etc were all perfectly normal.
And no I have not put on any weight, so the "starvation mode" theory can go out the window right now.
It really is a shame that many people believe anything they hear or read without really checking out the proofs for themselves.
