Friday Weigh In – 7/16/10

Sometimes you have to know when to say when. The last 8 or so weeks have been a failed experiment. What should have been a productive time went terribly, horribly, WRONG. I’ll try not to bore you…


One of my major fail points has been reading forums TOO MUCH. There is a ton of good info out there, but it’s info overload. About 3 months ago I found a thread over at Iron Addict’s (IA) board where he was trying a new diet. IA was tweaking a plan called the Warrior Diet. The premise is to under eat/controlled fast for 20 hours, and overeat for 4. If you go to bed at 10 pm, you would eat small, easily digestible protein sources and raw fruits and veggies the next day. Around 6 pm you were allowed to basically eat your day’s worth of calories in one big meal. There are a lot of advantages to this style of eating that I will not elaborate on here, but the point was that everyone doing this diet on his forum was having unreal results from it. Energy levels up, strength up, bodyfat decreasing at a regular rate, etc. It was blowing away every other diet IA had seen before.


I opted to try this style, and it worked for a while. I felt great around the time my son was born in March, but then the greatness of it declined. I didn’t have the energy surges, and bodyfat was the same or maybe increasing slightly. I tried to tighten up my intake, lower calories, etc etc…nothing was working. Point here is that is wasn’t for me.


For years I have been trusting what works for others to work for me. Time to get back to the dietary outline that I know worked for me in the past. I’m taking a week or two off from posting pictures to get myself on track again. It has been frustrating me that this Warrior Diet style of eating hasn’t been working for me like for others. That is fine. I’ll go with what has worked before.
