Harvey Diamond, author of New York Times' #1 bestseller "Fit For Life":

I believe the Warrior Diet will create a revolution in people's lives - a renaissance of the spirit of raw living. It covers all aspects of life.with a clearly defined diet that I find to be as effective for women as it is for men.

Udo Erasmus, author of "Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill":

Rare in books about foods, there is wisdom in the pages of the Warrior Diet.Ori knows the techniques, but he shows you a possibility - a platform for living your life as well.The Warrior Diet is a book that talks to all of you - the whole person hidden inside.

DC Maxwell, 2-time Women's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion, Co-Owner, Maxercise Sports/Fitness Training Center and Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy East:

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 can't tell me how and why it works in simple language. Ori Hofmekler's The Warrior 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 Warrior Diet can be a very valuable weapon in the personal arsenal of any woman.

Sifu John R. Salgado, World Champion Chinese Wrestling and Taiji Push Hands:

The information in The Warrior Diet will help you achieve the next level in training for the 21st century. It is the physical training along with the diet that will make a lasting impact on your life. I am deeply grateful for Ori's advice and the friendship we have established over the years.

Charles Poliquin, author of "The Poliquin Principles" and "Modern Trends in Strength Training", Three-Time Olympic Strength Coach:

The Warrior 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 Warrior Diet is a must read for the nutrition and training enthusiast who wishes to expand his horizons.

Brian Batcheldor, Science writer/researcher, National Coach, British Powerlifting Team:

Despite its name, The Warrior Diet isn'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 biofeedback - the things that have allowed us to evolve this far. Ironically, in a comfortable world of overindulgence, your survival may still be determined by natural selection. If this is the case, The Warrior Diet will be the only tool you'll need.

Pilar Gerasimo, Editor in Chief, "Experience Life Magazine":

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 philosopher-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.

Stephen Maxwell, Ms., 2-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion, Co-Owner, Maxercise Sports/Fitness Training Center and Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy East:

I think of myself as a modern-day warrior, businessman, family man and competitive athlete. In the 2 years that I have been following The Warrior Diet, I have enjoyed the predators' advantage of freedom from the necessity of frequent feedings. I also benefit from the competitive edge of being a fat burning machine. My 12-year-old son, who is also a competitive athlete, has naturally gravitated towards The Warrior Diet. He is growing up lean, strong and healthy, unlike many of his peers, many of whom, even in this land of plenty, are overweight and frequently sick. Thank you, Ori, for writing The Warrior Diet.

Mike Mahler, Aggressive Strength Kettlebell Trainer (www.mikemahler.com):

The author of the Warrior Diet, [Ori Hofmekler], has out done himself and has put out my favorite nutrition book, [The Anti-Estrogenic Diet], on building muscle, burning fat, and clearing excess estrogens. If you have high estrogen levels forget about getting lean and ripped. Forget about feeling strong and powerful as a man should. Forget about looking like a man and have fun with your "bitch tits" and estrogen bloated gut. Be a man and take charge of your life. We live in an estrogenic world both literally and metaphorically and we all need to fight back. This book covers how to modify your diet to become an estrogen obliterator! He addresses the Warrior Diet and provides tips for just about anyone on how to modify the undereating/overeating concept to be at your best. There is something for every man and woman in this book. Get it today or have fun with all of the estrogens in your life. This will be on my site (www.mikemahler.com) today and in my newsletter!

Dr. Daniel Kuhn, Psychiatrist, Founder of The Kuhn Center – Integrative NeuroPsychiatric Services of New York (www.kuhncenter.com):

I strongly support The Anti-Estrogenic Diet, which provides simple guidelines on how to reach an optimal hormonal balance that revitalizes and protects the organism.

Dr. Scott Treadway, Treadway Corp., World Renowned Botanical Expert & Asst. Director, NOSG:

After reading The Anti-Estrogenic Diet by Ori Hofmekler I realized how vitally important and timely this information is for all of us.

Ori has presented us with a simple, but unique way to understand how easily we can experience more daily energy, balance, and better general health by becoming aware and following through on a few simple truths about the foods we choose to eat.

In this day of rampant obesity, toxic foods, environmental pollution and skyrocketing diabetes along with many other diseases all related to bad food choices; it is wonderful to finally see a clearly stated and simple answer to the problem. As Ori points out, there is a profound link between estrogenic foods such as soy and other commonly accepted foods including specific product ingredients that contain, chemicals, additives, and toxins which all impact our health every day. We must learn to avoid these toxic foods and become aware of the estrogenic impact that synthetics of any kind can have on our diet and our lifestyle or we risk our own health and the health of our children and all the generations to come.

The Anti-Estrogenic Diet is a must read for anyone who cares about their own health, the health of their family and the health of our global community.
