The rules of the warrior diet:

- In the second phase, you need to eat the same food in the 20 hour window, but you will have to include animal protein, cooed veggies and a few nuts in the 4 hour window.

- The third phase is where you can cycle between the periods of high carb and high protein intake in the 4 hour window while keeping the same food for the 20 hour window.

Once you finish these three phases, you can start from the beginning and then stick to this very pattern. You are also supposed to incorporate some strength exercises to see great weight loss results.

- Eat healthy and nutritious food during the 4 hour window.
- Don't indulge in strenuous exercises.
- Binge on some nuts if you feel loss of energy after fasting.
- Don't forget to keep stress away when you try to lose weight.
