Hello Everybody,
Through a supervision of a coach:
So, over the last month or so I've been eating three squares a day and I couldn't be happier. This is coming from a guy who followed the Warrior Diet off and on for years at a time. I've never felt stronger, happier and just relaxed. I still kept the foods I ate on the Warrior Diet (pescatarian) but I'm eating with much more freedom. Just waking up, brewing some coffee and toasting some Ezekiel bread has enhanced my life.
I'm not trying to recommend against the Warrior Diet. I just noticed that I took it far too extreme and my personality isn't fit for it. I found myself being afraid to eat and that's not sustainable.
My thought process was that fasting will make me live forever. I know sounds really far fetched but that was my thought process. The more I researched, I realized that no one has a real answer and the longest lived people ate lots of plants and healthy simple food. They are social and got frequent task oriented exercise. Just basic things like gardening. walking and enjoying the sunshine.
It seems so simple but we make it so complicated.
I'm feeling lead to write so here we go :
Forever people have looked for the fountain of youth. Does is exist? What make us think we're capable of finding it? The most powerful men in the world have succumbed to death. They had all of the money and hope in the world to live forever and couldn't do it. Why do we fear death? I mean just look at all of the history around us. Every man and woman eventually dies. Every. Single. One.
Smile in the face of death for there is nothing to fear. It's a rest after a well lived life. What a beautiful thing it is. It's almost like we work for the privilege. When our mission here on Earth is done, we are done. We must go on to whatever follows. Some believe in reincarnation and others believe in heaven and hell. It's such a beautiful thing to look back throughout history and think that we all had the same fate. Kings, presidents, warriors and emperors.
Even they were not immune to the hands of time.
