The warrior diet is a type of diet where you can eat in cycles extended periods of little food consumption. It simply shows that you can eat less with various frequencies of diet. Some health experts believe that fasting is extreme and unnecessary for your health. This form of diet was created by Ori Hofmeklar in 2001 who was a former member of the Israeli Special Forces. He transitioned himself to the field of nutrition and fitness to help people who need help with their diet and fitness.
During ancient times, the warriors used to eat less during the daytime as they used to fight and used to do heavy physical work. They used to feast at night to consume the necessary nutrient. Ori believed that the warrior diet plan is very effective and it has the power to improve the way we look, the way perform and the way we eat. But Ori always opined that the diet he made is completely based on his thought process and no scientific and medical process involved in it.
