I’m on Week 3 and just a quick update.

Make sure to prepare for the diet on a weekly basis. Like plan out your undereating phase. I’m on an erratic schedule this week so didn’t have time to get a fruit from street vendors every morning and I’m eating shittily.

Ended up having to subsist on (varying degrees everyday):
- Extra Joss
- Coconut juice (newly cracked and really good though not easy to get too. about 15 minute walk from where i work and have to get it before 10am)
- Coffee
- Water
- 2 pieces of crackers (did this 2 days as I can’t get my hands on anything else)

I’m hitting the grocery tomorrow for some apples, pineapple and maybe some berries for my undereating the next five or six days.

Werd!

I did Ori Hofmekler’s Warrior Diet for the better part of the last two weeks. I said better part because I skipped a total of 3 days in between the controlled fasting days.

Physical Results so far:
- no significant weight loss, just normal flip-flopping (i lose and gain 1 or 2 lbs each week, strangely enough)

Plus things:
- the claim about you being more alert and focused was 100% true. The catch is it became true for me around the fourth day. The second day, I had the nastiest headache which went away as soon as I had two bites at dinner.

How difficult is it:
- after the first two days it was pretty easy actually. I got easily used to eating one apple, a slice at a time, from the morning to 7pm. Since most fruits aren’t always cheap and easy to come by, I alternated only between one apple or half a small pineapple for my undereating phase.

Difficulties:
- Something I noticed is around 1pm, my mouth begins to have a bad taste, like a craving of sorts. At these times, I would either drink a couple of sips of fruit juice or take a small bite-slice of pineapple and eat it then the bad taste will go away, only to come back in around 10 minutes. The second week, I solved this by having two gulps of Coca Cola. Mouth craving was gone the rest of the day. However, sodas and sugar-based junkfood are (the only) things forbidden in the diet so it was cheating. This week, I am solving it by taking a glass of Extra Joss instead (It’s an Indonesian powedred energy drink.) We’ll see how that goes.

Overeating:
- You really do appreciate the food you eat at night after the period of undereating in the day. My problem is I get anxious and I think I end up eating too much. On the days I undereat, I end up eating about 3 medium-sized meals a night. For some reason, I get worried that if I don’t eat before I sleep, I won’t make it through the undereating phase in the morning. So basically, I haven’t tried having a normal dinner while on the diet. I plan to this week.

I last did the diet yesterday, Monday. I skipped today because I got zero sleep again. I should get back to diet tomorrow. Will post further results.
