QuestionHello Geof!
I was wondering how much food do you eat a day? Do you eat 1,2 or 3 pound a meat a day and how often? How long do you fast for usally. Do you eat only at night or fast 2 or 3 days and eat a massive meal. Do you follow the warrior diet?
Thanks
AnswerIt depends. I never stick to a fixed schedule, simply because I don't believe in rigid rules, I'll just eat until I feel full, but not overly full. Sometimes I'll eat one pound of meat a day, sometimes three, sometimes I'll fast. Generally speaking, though, I usually have two full fast-days every fortnight or so, though that can be just one day or three days, depending on circumstances. I know that, for best results, I should be doing Intermittent Fasting, which involves eating one large meal a day, usually in the evening, then fasting the whole of the next day, and then endlessly repeating that cycle, but I simply don't have enough discipline to carry it through on a constant basis.
I do make a point of eating just one major meal within a couple of hours or so. I dislike eating throughout the day, as I tend to feel sluggish and less alert if my body's spending its resources on constant digestion.
I don't usually have the time to eat in the mornings, due to work, so that's partly why I stick to one major raw meal at night or early evening. I tend to eat less at the daily evening meal during weekdays, and a lot during weekends, which is when I have more time.
As for the warrior diet, I don't really agree with it. The idea behind the Warrior Diet is to eat a little, usually fruit, in the mornings as well as the evening meal, but I found that I actually was more sluggish when I did that, than when I just had the one meal a day in the evening. Obviously, as I follow a raw, palaeolithic diet I don't approve of the actual foods recommended by the Warrior Diet, and especially frown upon the endless artificial supplements that the Warrior Diet author recommends.
