Why I won't follow the Warrior Diet point by point:

The Warrior Diet - A Sample Day
Upon Awakening:
2 cups water, Vitamin C,
Grape seed extract, Milk Thistle, Probiotics, Warriozyme
Warrior Minerals
, Ginkgo Biloba, etc...
That's a sample from the book, Warrior Diet. I don't believe one should buy any special supplements and by special I mean things like milk thistle and the Warrior Diet products. I don't have anything against these nutritional supplements only that I don't want to spend money or time hunting down a milk thistle dealer. It's hard enough to get good quality food when junkfood is so prevalent around you. I take a multi-vitamin or two every day and I have a a whey protein shake mix that I use after a workout. I get them both from the local GNC. The multi-vitamin is Mega Man Sport and the protein is 100% Whey Protein. I don't have any affiliation with GNC save proximity. That's the only special supplements I use. I'm not going to use any other special supplements that the Warrior Diet recommends and there are many of them. I like Bob's Red Mill cereals, especially the one with flax seed. If it turns out that this method of eating isn't feasible without all the supplements, then it's just not for me. I also don't quite understand the whole supplementation angle of the book. I mean, the author presents his theories in the face of historical diets of the Roman soldiers and the instincts of primitive hunters and then the diet is full of all these supplements that these groups never had. If I can't get what I need from food and minimal supplements, then how good a diet can it be? But, I always tell people to try something for at least 3 weeks before they pass judgement. So that's what I'm going to do, but I'm not buying the extra supplements, period.
