I am not doing the Warrior Diet, but something that shares the fasting aspect along with strict limitations on carbohydrate amount and quality. I eat two meals a day, about 6 hours apart, with no snacking in between. See "Fast Five" diet for more explanation. During the work week, I get all my eating in between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Again, no snacking or grazing between meals or after. On the weekend, because I enjoy sharing the evening meal with my husband, I push the "breakfast" back to 4 pm with a high-protein snack, then have dinner around 6. On the weekends I am allowing myself a very small after dinner whiskey as well. And every morning I have one cup of black coffee on rising.
This routine has had very quick, very obvious, benefits for digestion and weight loss. I broke a two-year stall and complete resolved the IBS symptoms that had returned after years of successful low carbing. Right now I am having minimal carbs, in order to burn as much fat as possible, but I have seen this work almost as well while including small servings of oatmeal or corn. (I try to avoid wheat fructans, NOT gluten.)
Right now, I am combining this IF approach with many of Dr. Eades's principles from his new 6 Week Cure for the Middle Age Middle. See the Protein Power threads for more on that one.
