Summary: Far from perfect, but not bad at all
Comment: I stuck with this diet for 16 months before going back to the "Fit for Life" diet. Ori gives a logical regimen for daily consumption. Basicly during the day you do not eat anything (if you must, you can eat berries or a few other items) and upon the evening can eat many meals as long as they are protein based, and have a high water content. This diet is not far from Diamonds "Fit for Life" which is geared towards living a long healthy life, as opposed to the Warrior diet which is based more on "getting cut" (Lean) and being more alert due to the hunger. On the Warrior Diet I lost close to 14 pounds of fat, however, I also lost close to 12 pounds of muscle. This is a diet strategy for those who want to be lean, and don't mind losing some muscle, and it's not a bad read either.

Summary: Revolutionary and thought provoking, BUT....
Comment: Ori Hofmekler (former editor/publisher of Mind and Muscle Power magazine. Man, I LOVED that magazine!) definitely has alot of guts for writing a diet book such as this, giving controversial advice concerning meal frequency and portion sizes! The main theme is this: undereat or fast during the day, keeping blood sugar levels low and eating only very small amounts of food, like vege/fruit juice, protein, whole fruits/veges. This cycle of the diet (which occurs on a daily basis) serves as the detoxification mode. Your body is cleansing, you are working off fat stores, and brain function/creativity/instinctual drives should be increased positively. Workouts with weights and cardio should be done on an empty stomach, where fat burning is highly increased due to a 'fasted mode'. Then in the evening, you 'overeat' on lean proteins, veges, salad, etc. I highly enjoy Ori's creative ideas and the historical twist he puts in the book regarding ancient warriors and Greeks, and the diet did have some success for me, when I was strict with it. The diet is extremely convenient for students as well, who don't have the time to mess with frequent meals. But, beware, don't think that you can overeat at night on anything you want, Ori is very clear that the overeating faze is for healthy foods only! Also, I don't believe that if your goal is to gain alot of muscle that this particular diet is for you...more for people that are interested in the 'lean' look.

Summary: Started the diet a month ago...........
Comment: I happened to pick up this book at a barnes & noble and have been following basic principles of the diet for about 5 weeks now.....
I have to say that most of the time I seem to be more focused and I have lost inches and look much leaner, though I seem to be about the same on the scale.....I've seen some of the negative reviews and I can only address them by saying that you have to incorporate this diet into a way that works for you. For instance I eat my big meal during the late afternoon insead of the evening as Hofmekler suggests, I don't do his exercises, take his supplements and yes I do agree that he's trying to hawk his own products! I find that his diet will work much better if u do eat a good deal of raw veggies during the undereating phase.
My main problem seem to be that certain things could be explained a little bit better and I seem to be able eat less and less during my "Main" meal. I think that if u follow this diet you will begin to crave more natural foods instinctively though.......
Still I think this is a great diet with wonderful results, I'm eating a lot more healthier, I feel a lot more energy, my mind seems a lot sharper these days, I'm leaner........
I think u have to use it and work it into your life in a natural way, but it's the results from it that will make you want to continue it.
In fact I'm recommending it overwelmingly to all my friends!
