My favorite diet strategy while I train has been the Warrior Diet. In early 2006, I got started on the Warrior Diet and shortly thereafter, Crossfit. My body comp changed significantly and some health issues cleared up by eating the way Ori teaches.

This time of year, eating sweets is a problem. Ori has an audio clip that you may find to be helpful. There are additional resources and downloads here to help you learn the advantages of a better way of eating and living.

In a nutshell, (he also talks about peanuts). The three Warrior Diet principles are:

1. Eat one main meal at night.
2. Eat low on the food chain.
3. Exercise while undereating.
