Is the Warrior diet obsolete?

[Galoot]

I personally believe the "Paleo Diet" to be nothing more than latest flavor of the month. It is simply a high protein, low carb diet throwing the body into a state of ketosis causing it to burn fat. Healthy? Latest ideas? You be the Judge

100% agree.

Try different approaches and see what you like...today.

A year (or maybe two or three) from now though, your thinking about it will have changed...again.

Nothing wrong with that. It's the nature of things.

Clarity on points.

1. My diet evolves. I offer nutritional suggestions, but I state overtly that I do not offer dietary advice. My opinion will be different in two years.
2. I have NEVER promoted a product that I did not believe in. I've read your snide remarks several times, Gilestro, and although I do understand that English may not be your first language, you are being offensive when you imply that I would sell something that I do not believe in.
3. I have never promoted white flour at any time, especially Gluten. That is a crazy, unfounded accusation.
4. I have offered PRIMAL not PALEO recommendations. They're different. I've applied Paleo to determine its effectiveness for me, and it doesn't optimize for me. I do eat some legumes such as peanuts, live grains such as quinoa, and gluten-free oatmeal. Primal regards eating close to the Earth - whole, fresh, raw(est)/rare(st), organic, free-range/wild, local, unprocessed, short shelf life. I'm the man who coined the comment, "longer its shelf life, shorter yours." I avoid pig, organs, and bones, so I'm out of the "paleo" purity.
5. Diet, as I have ALWAYS written, is individualized, requires that you get your physician's approval, and get your bloodwork to confirm mineral deficiencies if any.
6. It is NOT the "Warrior Diet" which is something completely different, and a book from a different author. Page ONE of my booklet stated it was NOT A DIET AT ALL, but a nutritional transition plan.
7. Lastly, there is not "Grand Unified Theory" on my programs, because they're programs. If you want to learn how they "all fit together" then train up for and go to an instructor certification. My programs are not the system. They're representatives of the system, sufficient unto themselves. I appreciate feedback from my customers but ease up on telling people how you think I ought to have run my company, published my books and produced my videos over the years. This didn't happen as some grandiose business plan. It evolved organically over the years as I continue to grow and study. And will continue to do so.
Enjoy the programs, or not. But I have received EIGHT personal complaints about you on this forum in the past two weeks. That's a new record. Give it a rest, and go spend more time training, or going for a walk in the woods. It'll clear all of that noise.

...... eating close to the Earth - whole, fresh, raw(est)/rare(st), organic, free-range/wild, local, unprocessed, short shelf life.....

Diet,.... is individualized, requires that you get your physician's approval, and get your bloodwork.....

....continue to grow and study.

These are important points. Obtaining your bloodwork is an essential first step in the formulation of any dietary plan. As with the setting of any goal, if we don't recognize where we are how can we map where we are going? A person with a long history of the SAD diet will likely have issues another person eating cleanly his/her's entire life does not. These two folks may require radically different nutritional strategies to get them where they want to be.

I would add one step to Coach Sonnon's post. While a physician's advice is always welcome, Docs are not necessarily well trained, or trained at all, in nutritional science. It may be in your best interest to consult with a nutritionist.

After the bloodwork

I'm a little confused about some of the principles in the Tacfit Diet plan - and, well some other ideas aswell.
What is the 'magic' of the diet for the Tacfit programs? is it the amount of calories, the meal timing, the macro ratios? Or some combination?
Is the goal of the "transition" to become fat adapted?

Also, this may combine some of the low carb principles, but I've heard of only stimulating the insulin response AFTER exercise to deliver nutrients to muscles etc? (thats a very basic assumption, please correct me if I'm wrong)
What about low fat, high carb meals post workout?
Ideally, I would like to follow the 4-day-diet + 'lifestyle' verbatim to garner the best results from the programs but some if contradicts the research i've done elsewhere. Am I being a tad pedantic about all this?
IS it best to follow the diet program strictly, permanently?
