As an extreme conservative archliberal (no irony, by the way), I think looking to tradition for information on all areas of life is extremely important. Ori Hofmekler has done some real research into how ancient warriors really ate and lived, unlike a lot of products who use the image of the ancient warrior as a theme with no real connection. According to historical sources, not mythology, the endurance of the ancient warrior, from rowing triremes to marching in running with a lot of heavy equipment, to the physical effort involved in having to use a spear for hours at a time was truly incredible and a lot of men managed to get to this level without everybody getting injured and dying from overexertion.
The basic themes of his book The Warrior Diet, and it's excellent companion The Anti-Estrogenic Diet, call on these sources and connects them to modern research. You change not only what you eat, but when you eat, and I know from personal experience that this is a sustainable and enjoyable diet when combined with the correct attitude, I have lost 30lbs on this diet, with no sign of slowing down.
You also receive information on what legendary strength coach Marty Gallagher calls "3rd Way Cardio", a unique combination of strength and endurance that provides you with both more muscle and greater leanness, assuming you are, like I was, an untrained individual.
It is radical, enjoyable, sustainable, and a pretty damn manly way to eat and work out. It has made a severe difference in my physical well being.
