I believe The Warrior Diet will create a revolution in peoples
lives a renaissance of the spirit of raw living. It covers all
aspects of lifewith a clearly defined diet that I find to be as
e ffective for women as it is for men.
Harvey Diamond, authorof world
b e s t s e l l e r Fit For Life
Rare in books about foods, there is wisdom in the pages of T h e
Warrior Diet ...Ori knows the techniques, but he shows you a
possibilitya platform for living your life as wellThe Wa r r i o r
Diet is a book that talks to all of youthe whole person hidden
inside.
Udo Erasmus, a u t h o r of Fats That
Heal, Fats That Kill
O
K-
Are you still confused about what, how and when to eat? Despite the diet books
you have read and the programs you have tried, do you still find yourself lacking
in energ y, carrying excess body fat, and feeling physically run-down? Sexually,
do you feel a shadow of your former self?
The problem, according to Ori Hofmekler, is that we have lost touch with the
natural wisdom of our instinctual drives. We have become the slaves of our own
creature comforts
scavenger/victims rather than predator/victors. When to comes to informed-choice,
we lack any real sense of personal freedom. The result: ill-advised eating and
lifestyle habits that leave us vulnerable to all manner of diseasenot to mention
obesity and sub-par performance.
The Wa rrior Diet presents a brilliant and far-reaching solution to our nutritional
woes, based on a return to the primal power of our natural instincts.
The first step is to break the chains of our current eating habits. Drawing on a
combination of ancient history and modern science, The Wa rrior Diet proves that
humans are at their
e n e rgetic, physical, mental and passionate best when they undereat during the
day and overeat at night. Once you master this essential eating cycle, a new life
of explosive vigor and vitality will be yours for the taking.
Unlike so many dietary gurus, Ori Hofmekler has personally followed his diet
for over twenty-five years and is a perfect model of the Wa rrior Diets s u c c e s s
the man is a human dynamo.
Not just a diet, but a whole way of life, the Wa rrior Diet encourages us to seize
back the pleasures of being alivefrom the most refined to the wild and raw. T h e
Wa rrior Diet is
practical, tested, and based in commonsense. Expect results!
The Wa rrior Diet covers all the bases. As an added bonus,
discover delicious Warrior Recipes, a special Warrior Workout, and a line of
Warrior Supplementsdesigned to give you every advantage in the transformation
of your life from average to exceptional.

Ori Hofmekler is a modern Renaissance man whose life has
been driven by two passions: art and sports. Hofmeklers
formative experience as a young man with the Israeli Special
Forces, prompted a lifetimes interest in diets and fitness regimes
that would optimize his physical and mental performance.
After the army, Ori attended the Bezalel Academy of Art and
the Hebrew University, where he studied art and philosophy and
received a degree in Human Sciences.
Aworld-renowned painter, best known for his
controversial political satire, Oris work has been
featured in magazines worldwide, including Time, Newsweek,

In my quest for a lean, muscular body, I have seen practically every diet
and suffered through most of them. It is also my business to help others
with their fat loss programs. I am supremely skeptical of any eating plan or
diet book that cant tell me how and why it works in simple language. Ori
H o f m e k l e rs The Wa rrior Diet does just this, with a logical, readable
approach that provides grounding for his claims and never asks the reader to
take a leap of faith. The Wa rrior Diet can be a very valuable weapon in the
personal arsenal of any woman.
DC Maxwell, 2-time Wo m e n s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion,
C o - O w n e r, Maxercise Sports/Fitness Training Centerand Relson
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy East
The credo that has served me well in my life and that which I tell my
patients is that I only take advice from those who practice what they preach.
To me, there is nothing more pathetic and laughable than to see the terrible
physical condition of many of the self-proclaimed diet and fitness experts of
t o d a y. Those hypocrites who do not live by their own words are not worth
your time, or mine.
At the other extreme, Ori Hofmekler is the living, breathing example of a
w a r r i o r. There is real strength in the sinews of his muscle. There is wisdom
and power in his words. His passion for living honestly is intense and
reflective of the toil of a tough army life. Yet in a fascinating and true
Spartan way, his physical nature is tempered by an equal reveling in the
love of art, knowledge of the classic poets, and in the drinking of fine wine
with good conversation.
Welcome The Wa rrior Diet into your life and you usher in the honest and
real values of a man who has truly walked the walk. He has treaded the dirt
of the path that lay before you, and is thus a formidable guide to a new
beginning. He is your shepherd of integrity that will lead you out of the
bondage of misinformation. His approach is what I call revolutionarily
de-evolutionary. In other words, your freedom from excess body fat, flat
e n e rgy levels, and poor physical performance begins with unlearning the
modern ways, which have failed you, and forging a new understanding
steeped in the secret traditions of the ancient Roman warrior.
Carlon M. Colker, M.D., F.A.C.N., authorof The Greenwich Diet,
CEO and Medical Dire c t o r, Peak Wellness, Inc.
The Wa rrior Diet certainly defies so-called modern nutritional and
training dogmas. Having met Ori on several occasions, I can certainly attest
that he is the living proof that his system works. He maintains a ripped
muscular body year round despite juggling extreme workloads and family
life. His take on supplementation is refreshing as he promotes an integrated
and timed approach. The Wa rrior Diet is a must read for the nutrition and
training enthusiast who wishes to expand his horizons.
Charles Poliquin, authorof ThePoliquin Principlesand Modern
Trends in Strength Tr a i n i n g, T h re e - Time Olympic Strength Coach
Despite its name, The Wa rrior Diet i s n t about leading a Spartan lifestyle,
although it is about improving quality of life. With a uniquely compelling
approach, the book guides you towards the body you want by re-awakening
primal instinct and biofeedbackthe things that have allowed us to evolve
this far.
I r o n i c a l l y, in a comfortable world of overindulgence, your survival may still
be determined by natural selection. If this is the case, The Wa rrior Diet w i l l
be the only tool youll need.
Brian Batcheldor, Science writer/re s e a rc h e r, National Coach,
British Powerlifting Te a m
"In a era of decadence, where wants and desires are virtually limitless, Ori's
vision recalls an age of warriors, where success meant survival and survival
was the only option. Adiet of the utmost challenge from which users will
reap tremendous benefits."
John Davies, Olympic and professional sports strength/speed coach
Ori Hofmekler has his finger on a deep, ancient and very visceral pulse
one that too many of us have all but forgotten. Part warrior-athlete, part
p h i l o s o p h e r-romantic, Ori not only reminds us what this innate, instinctive
rhythm is all about, he also shows us how to detect and rekindle it in our
own bodies. His program challenges and guides each of us to fully reclaim
for ourselves the strength, sinew, energy and spirit that humans have always
been meant to possess.
P i l a r Gerasimo, Editorin Chief, Experience Life Magazine
"Ori and I became friends and colleagues in 1997 when he so graciously
took me under his wing as a writer for P e n t h o u s e Magazine and Mind and
Muscle Power.
When I received The Wa rrior Diet in the mail I nearly burst with pride. Not
only because my dear friend had finally reached his particular goal of
helping others be the best they can be physically, but because I had a small
role in the creation of the book. Ori enlisted my help in researching topics
such as the benefits of fasting, the perfect protein, and glycogen loading. I
believe in Ori's concepts because I trust him wholeheartedly and because I
helped uncover the scientific data that proves them. I also live by T h e
Wa rrior Diet, although not to the extreme that Ori does. My body
continues to get tighter and more toned in all of the right places...and people
marvel at my eating practices.
Read The Wa rrior Diet with an open mind. Digest the information at your
own pace. Assimilate the knowledge to make it fit into your current
lifestyle. You will be amazed at how much more productive and energ e t i c
you will be. Be a warrior in your own right. Your body will thank you for
i t . "

I can't say I've read many books on flexibility with the wit and clearheaded wisdom I
found in Pavel Tsatsouline's Relax Into Stre t c h. Tsatsouline delivers the how-and-why of
progressive techniques for achieving suppleness, from simple yoga stretching to advance
neuromuscular facilitation, without burying the reader in hocus-pocus or scientific jarg o n .
Tsatsouline's Relax Into Stretch provides an alternative: straightforward and practical
techniques that don't require a lifetime to master.
Fernando Pages Ruiz, Contributing Editor Yoga J ournal
I tell you truly that Relax Into Stre t c h is superb. Stretching has always been associated with
any serious fitness effort and Tsatsouline's approach to this old discipline is fresh and
unique and thought provoking. Best of all, this book combines philosophic insight with
i n - y o u r-face reality as Pavel shares with the reader 'drills' that turn you into what this former
Russian Spetznaz instructor calls ' a flexibility mutant'. This book supplies both the road
map and the methodology. Don't ask to borrow my copy.
Marty Gallagher, Columnist, Wa s h i n g t o n P o s t . c o m
Pavel Tsatsouline's Relax Into Stretch: Instant Flexibility Through Mastering Muscle
Te n s i o n is a superbly illustrated, step-by-step guide to achieve physical flexibility of muscle
groups and sinews. Relax Into Stre t c h is very effective and very highly recommended
reading for men and women of all ages and physical conditions seeking to enhance their
mobility and flexibility as part of an overall exercise regimen.

You have a choice in life. You can
sputter and stumble and creak
your way along in a process of
painful, slow declineor you
can take charge of your health
and become a human dynamo.

performing the right daily
combination of joint mobility
and strength-flexibility exercises.
In Super Joints, Russian fitness expert Pavel
Tsatsouline shows you exactly how to quickly achieve
and maintain peak joint healthand
then use it to improve every aspect of
your physical performance.
Only the foolish would deliberately
ignore the life-saving and life-
enhancing advice Pavel offers in

degeneration and decrepitude? But for an athlete, a
