The warrior diet ...

What's everyone's opinion on this? Is it healthy? Realistic?

Nope

All I've heard is the title and I'm already suspicious. I'm not into trendy diets or crash diets, though.

Nope. Eat in a deficit, add a little exercise. You'll be golden:)

Another Paleo version with intermittent fasting during the day and feeding window ending about 2 hours before bed. Working out is in a fasted state. Emphasis on unprocessed foods, carb cycling and carbs to be eaten at the end of meal to level out blood sugars. It relies on the premise that it works in sync with the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

Dear Zod.....so many rules.....which would be difficult to incorporate into daily life I would think. The exercise looks to be a combo. of HIIT and 'fatigued' training....ie. keep on going even when you are tired.

The other thing is I wouldn't trust anyone's diet advice if their background comes from writing for Penthouse magazine for a start. The citation at the end of Wiki did say this this the diet is NOT designed for weight loss but rather building stamina, dropping BF and something else (damn memory)....it is not designed to have calorie counts rather relying on your own internal message that you are "Full".....this could be a problem for some.

I would encourage you to do more research before committing to such an extreme....

And I'm sure that everyday warriors would follow all those rules, too.

It never ceases to amaze me what people will do to themselves in the name of trendy.

Nothing particularly wrong with it, some things about it pretty good, but most people will have a difficult time adhering to it.

If you want to try, go for it!

^^^^So true snickers.....I wish I could think up some of these diets.....Promise people easy, fast weight loss and you have an immediate large broad audience with their ears aflapping.

So sick of my FB feeds coming up with "friends of friends offering to shave of my love handles" with no pain involved eating "REAL" food (didn't know there was another kind) all the while taking the supplements in 3 easy steps....Blah.

Some of the main rules seem to be:
1. Eat mainly in the evening - very few calories during the day. I suppose there's no harm in this if you don't have any medical issues that would argue against it, but I don't see any real benefit to it, either. This is supposed to trigger a stress response which, somehow, is supposed to be a good thing.
2. Avoiding certain combinations of foods - no nuts and fruits or grains and fruits together, for instance. Why? I do not know. Maybe our ancient ancestors were unable to find fruit and nut trees growing next to each other.
3. Buy organic because conventional produce and dairy are hormone-disrupting . Frankly, this alone tells me that the guy selling this diet has no science.
4. Avoid foods wrapped or bottled in plastic. I'm wondering how you can do this without milking your own cow and raising your own meat. Apparently the food gets contaminated by touching the wrapping.

Will it hurt you? Probably not if you have no issues with eating one large meal a day in the evening. But there's nothing about it that really recommends itself to health or weight loss. If you just want to eat most of your food at night, go for it.
