Mr. Hofmekler, It’s sad that you and Ms. Jackson were not allowed to continue to exlain your position and rationale. None the less, you both did very well: ¡Proeliator Invicta!

Why not spend more time getting the theory behind WD tested(i know there is support on various elements of it, some recent, some older). It is not hard to setup a experiment with Warrior Diet vs at least a matched control group. Gaining credibility from “experts” views and anecdotal “transformation” stories is bad science. Good for marketing. I see the fiasco more as a communication/presentation problem. A feeling of being the underdog, not being accepted and a need to prove ones point, being heard. The dynamics of the communication certainly went in that direction, and also this blog entry in my opinion. In a way you get pushed into their game and end up gaining a weaker position. Spending time afterwards to get frustration of the chest does feel better, but does nothing in how WD is perceived. People that endorse it come with support and skeptics keep their view. This is not meant as a flame, just a point of view. I personally am trying WD with ok results (just started ). Coming from a science background i am interested in tested claims and think an important part of getting accepted is doing the hard work yourself. Go beyond success stories to valid claims acquired in controlled test-setting.

It’s expected on a news type program. The purpose is to maintain he “status quo”, not explore new territory to any decent extent. Health professionals have to play the game. Never stand out or separate yourself from your peers. So whether the Warrior Diet is worthwhile or not, they don’t care. It’s too risky to explore. Basically they consider anything “different” or not “establishment” approved as risky and the buyer should beware. The problem is that the “establishment” are the ones that made America the fattest country in the world. Why in hell should we keep listening to them?

As a junior associate at a large CPA firm I worked for a guy who was totally into fitness. His main regime was running about 10-12 miles each morning and doing some weights. He was 20 years my senior and the time I met him he was 50. This was in 1994. His diet was a cup or two of coffee before his 6 am run and a little fruit afterwards. He ate nothing all day until dinner time. He was the most energetic CPA in the office as well as the most fit. He had a 6 pack in his fifties. At night, he loved a big family dinner…wine, a big salad, and lots of food. A true warrior…when I read the Warrior diet I thought of him…It works…people thought he was crazy “starving” himself during the day, but this guy was the highest producing partner in the firm…a CPA warrio

Those “experts” are brainwashed imbeciles! There is no new discovery when it comes to dieting. Ori did the intelligent and logical thing by looking into the past at people who exhibited great health for centuries. We need carbs during the day? Then how come I went on a 6 mile hike, came home, did a light kettlebell workout with nothing to eat during the day, just water. I had a big meal at night and felt great! Carb stretching is real. The Warrior Diet is the diet above all diets. It’s tough watching people suffer because the have been misled.

Yeah those people were very rude to Ori. That fat nutritionist has some nerve to be preaching lies like that about Ori. I have been doing the Warrior Diet for 3 months and it’s totally great. I have had similar people say to me that I am crazy for undereating all day but they are just getting fatter and I am getting leaner. Ori we here are with you and I appreciate your efforts against these calorie counting obsessed wackos out there that give advice that leads to people getting fatter and fatter

I heard about your diet on this show, and was intrigued…their cutting you off didn’t hurt you, in my opinion, only helped, because I wanted to know more! You’re ideas make sooo much sense, and I can’t wait to get the book! Good luck!

Ori, I think your insight into our current food issues is straightforward and no BS. There is just a lot of people out there that have to candy-coat everything and make it sound medically correct (like politically correct, almost). I agree with history, and I believe that even when I was growing up I noticed I had higher energy levels when I barely ate at school. I hope more people can have a chance to see this diet, so keep putting it out there even though there is some resistance. Thanks for what you have done already… I appreciate it deeply.

Earlier today I called into Ori’s show to let him know of the out cry my clients had over the show,as I said on the phone my phone was ringing off the hook. One message I was unable to get across was that all my young athletes that folow the diet not only have they lost weight, and got in great shape. But what’s most important part to me is the fact that they learned how there bodies work.They know what foods work for them and what foods don’t work.This is rewarding as a coach to know that they have learned the hardest part of training, the proper diet to fuel their bodies .
