An Energetic, Metabolic, and Spiritual Optimization Protocol for Warriors on The Sacred Ascent
The Warrior’s Intermittent Fasting Protocol is designed to:
Sharpen the body, mind, and spirit.
Enhance metabolic flexibility, mitochondrial efficiency, and energy clarity.
Strengthen discipline, resilience, and mastery over hunger, desire, and impulse.
Realign the Being with the natural rhythm of the Cosmos and the Divine Flow of SpaceTime.
Prepare the Warrior for both peak performance and prolonged periods of scarcity, warfare, pilgrimage, or purification.
This is not just a nutritional protocol—it is a sacred rhythm of alignment with Nature, Purpose, One, and the Way.
Fasting is Freedom: It breaks the chains of addiction to constant consumption and redirects energy to renewal and focus.
Feeding is Fuel: Eating is intentional and sacred—fueling regeneration, growth, service, and power, not indulgence or escapism.
Simplicity is Power: Complexity burdens. Simplicity liberates. The protocol is designed to be clear, efficient, and easily embodied.
Ritual is Alignment: Every fast and feast is consecrated with intention, presence, and prayer.
Adaptation is Essential: The protocol must be tuned to your personal cycle, goals, season, and training level.
16 to 20 hours fasting
4 to 8-hour eating window
Aligned with circadian rhythm, solar light cycles, and natural energetic cycles.
One large or two smaller meals a day within The Fueling Window.
06:00 – 12:00
Morning hydration (spring/mineral water, optionally warm lemon water, Celtic or Himalayan Sea salt, coffee or tea)
Movement, meditation, breathwork, prayer, writing
Elements: cold plunge, dip in river or lake, sauna, sun exposure, etc.
12:00 – 18:00
Deep work, creative contribution, community collaboration, strength training or martial arts
Continue hydration, supplemented with targeted herbal / plant-based infusions as needed or called
18:00 – 22:00 (Feeding Window)
Single large sacred meal, or two small intentional meals
Feast with prayer and gratitude on nutrient-dense, high-vibration whole foods that have been energetically tested for health and coherence
Macronutrients guided by training load:
High protein (wild or regenerative sources)
Moderate healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, coconut, ghee)
Clean carbs ideally from root vegetables, quinoa, rice, fruit if desired
22:00 – 06:00
Rest, integration, dream work
Optional: herbal sleep support, magnesium rubs, gratitude practice, breath or sound ritual
Adequate sleep is essential. Aim for 7-8 hours.
1 Day/Week Extended Fast
24–36 hour water or herbal tea fast
Optional dry fast for advanced practitioners
Conducted on a rest day or in alignment with spiritual work (often Saturday)
1 Day/Week Feast Day (Optional)
Loosen the window for communal meals, celebratory ritual, or soul-nourishing abundance (often Sunday)
Feast without gluttony or lapse in Quality of Being—remain present, reverent, ready, and aware
Seasonal Deep Fast
3 to 7 days, ideally once per 90 day season.
Integrated with detoxification, meditation, and silence
Can include herbal parasite cleanse, colon flushes, or dry fast phases
Anchored around equinoxes, solstices, or initiatory thresholds
Initiatory Deep Fasts 7, 14, 21, up to 40(+) days. These longer initiatory fasts should be undertaken with support and guidance where available
Train Fasted: Light to moderate exercise is done in the fasted state to enhance fat adaptation and sharpen mental clarity.
Break Fast After Training: Feasting post-workout maximizes absorption and rebuilds tissue and vitality.
Electrolyte and Energetic Balance: Add salt, potassium, magnesium, and herbs as necessary during fasted states to maintain hydration, energetic balance, and nerve function.
Use the fasting window to focus awareness inward, strengthen inner flame, and transmute hunger into will, devotion, and intention.
Use the feeding window as sacred ceremony—an opportunity to bless and integrate the abundance of Life on Earth into your Living Temple.
Anchor all stages in breath and prayer. Fasting without consciousness is merely starvation. With consciousness, it becomes alchemy.
In the Lionsberg System, everyone is Sovereign and Free. There is no Law but One. And yet - it is a violation of Our Highest Sacred Intention to knowing engage in practices that Harm Our Selves or Other Selves.
We do not poison Our Selves with things that will make Us sick, weak, and incompetent
We avoid processed foods, seed oils, refined sugars, chemical additives, and every other poison
We do not purchase or consume things that fuel antithetical systems (large corporations, degenerative agriculture practices, extractive economic practices, depletion of Nature, etc.)
We do not engage in mindless distraction eating—TV, social media, or unconscious consumption
We do not feed late at night—violates circadian harmony, digestive rhythms, and sacred dreaming
We do not indulge guilt or shame—only feedback, re-alignment, and continuous improvement
