The Warrior Diet won't help you lose 5 pounds a week, but it will do something I think you'll like better. You should be either maintaining weight, but gaining muscle and losing fat, or you lose about 2 pounds a week with a general improvement in health and well-being. Depends on if you are training and your diet in the Overeating phase. If I knew what you were doing, I could give you a more specific answer. What's a typical week for you in terms of activity?
