Dear editors, in the last issue of your magazine I read an intriguing article about the “Warrior Diet”. However, this diet plan involves late, almost overnight workouts. Well, what should I do if, due to my work schedule, I can only train early in the morning?
Yes, as we have already stated, the Warrior Diet is designed to optimize your hormonal metabolism. Eating carbohydrates throughout the day. oddly enough, it negatively affects the functioning of the central nervous system. Every time. When you take carbohydrates, the speed at which nerve signals travel along the nerve “wires” decreases. As a result, drowsiness sets in and muscle tone decreases. According to the Warrior Diet, you only eat protein and fat during the day. Thanks to this, your nervous system begins to work extremely efficiently. The ability for mental concentration increases, muscle strength increases. Moreover, the process only gains momentum during the day, and therefore the training should be “pushed” until late in the evening. Thanks to this, your training will be incredibly intense. Well, after training, you should sit down at the kitchen table and load yourself with the entire required amount of carbohydrates, without making a distinction between “good” and “bad” calories. In fact, you can eat everything!
The body responds to a massive load of carbohydrates with an amazingly powerful secretion of anabolic hormones. They will help you absorb all the food you eat without leaving any residue and ensure excellent recovery!
As a result, those who adopt the Warrior Diet lose subcutaneous fat and gain muscle mass surprisingly quickly.
If you train in the morning, then your diet requires serious modification. If your goal is to add muscle mass, then one cup of coffee is all you need when you wake up. Science has shown that our muscles are most sensitive to anabolic signals in the morning. If you want to lose weight, then you will need 10 g of MCT fats or natural coconut oil plus 20 g of whey protein.
After your workout, you should take very few carbohydrates to help you regain your strength. We are talking about 2-3 bananas or 30-40 g of carbohydrate concentrate . At the same time, you need to take 40-60 g of whey hydrolyzate , casein or a mixture of both types of proteins. You should add 5 g of creatine and leucine to your protein shake.
The hydrolyzate promotes the secretion of the “dangerous” hormone insulin, but after training it is not able to accumulate subcutaneous fat. Insulin will act as a transport hormone and help the penetration of carbohydrates, amino acids , leucine and creatine into muscle cells.
Further, it is advisable to take carbohydrates in minimal quantities, or even not at all. In any case, you are allowed to eat no more than 30 g of carbohydrates until the evening. But after 18-19 hours you can start eating to your heart’s content. Moreover, there are no prohibitions! You can order pizza, hamburgers and fried potatoes…
Overnight, your body will “grind” all carbohydrates and fats without leaving a trace. You will get up in the morning full of strength and energy, and will be able to do a shock workout!
