Q: What foods are on the Spartan Diet? 

A: The Spartan Diet emphasizes food quality, and categorically rejects industrial food. (We go into detail about exactly what industrial food is in the book.) Because the highest-quality foods are unavailable as prepared foods in most restaurants and grocery stores, most Spartan Diet foods are made from scratch at home. In the book, we'll show you where to buy these foods, and how to prepare them for maximum deliciousness and health.  

Q: Why is it called "The Spartan Diet"?

A: There are three reasons why we call our diet "The Spartan Diet." First, the diet is based at its core on the diet of the classical-era Sparta. Key elements of this diet included olive oil as the primary fat source, wine as the sole alcoholic beverage, and fermented ancient grain as the primary grain. The ancient Spartans favored wild game over domesticated, goat-milk cheese and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. ur Spartan Diet includes foods from all over the world, but the "original Spartan diet" is it's foundation. 

Second, the ancient Spartans are our best historic example of a wealthy society that managed to eat frugally and well, without descending into unhealthy foods and lifestyles.

And third, the Spartans provide many other examples involving self-development, fitness, preparedness and others that are worth following.
