Warrior diet

So, as many of you know, I have spent the past several years searching for a diet that gets me in shape and energized, with the added benefit of transforming me into a sword-wielding Roman soldier. FINALLY, Ori Hofmekler (Polish for "half of a mekler") has heard my prayers. The basic premise is that you have an undereating phase during the day, in which you snack on raw vegetables, nuts and the babies pillaged from conquered villages, followed by a massive feast at night. This appparently simulates the lifestyle of famous warriors, including Ghengis Khan.

This diet is probably the first to be "based on survival science and anthropological research." So from a scientific perspective, if you follow this diet, there's a pretty good statistical chance you will "survive." I'll put that down as a pro. However, one of the cons that you are required to "increase intake of anti-estrogenic foods and herbs." So there goes my daily snack of birth control pills. I'm a little ambivalent about the detox regiment of "minimizing animal food." I'm not sure if that means not eating cow, or not eating the cud that the cow fed on. I wouldn't be surprised if Roman soldiers did both.

I think I'll give this one a try. Just so you know, if you see me walking around with a Nalgene full of the blood of my vanquished foes.
