The Warrior Diet is a controversial diet created by former Penthouse (magazine) editor and former Israeli Special Forces soldier Ori Hofmekler and marketed by Dragon Door. He created it based upon his own personal experiences, expanded upon by his opinions of how warriors ate (namely the Romans, similar to Spartan Health, though others are referred to), why their methods were effective, how these methods can be adapted to the modern age, and reasons he thinks these methods are more effective than the more scientific and common methods of dieting.
The diet has a daily feeding cycle of "undereating" during the day and "overeating" at night. He has based this upon his perception of how warriors used to eat, grazing lightly throughout the day and gorging themselves at night. The "Undereating Phase" supposedly maximizes the sympathetic nervous system's (SNS) fight or flight reaction to stress, thereby promoting alertness resulting in energy generation and ultimately fat burning.
I got this off the internet. This doesn't really sound like a low carb woe to me but then I haven't read the book either.
