The Hallelujah Diet Explained

The Hallelujah Diet is a menu of 85% raw, uncooked, and unprocessed plant-based food, and 15% cooked, plant-based food.

Why Plant-based Foods?

The design of the human body is not like that of carnivorous mammals; our digestive tract was not designed to properly digest and dispose of meat. Carnivorous mammals have a relatively short and straight digestive tract that eliminates meat waste efficiently.
Herbivores and humans have a much longer digestive tract that includes many bends and pockets. Because our stomach acid is not designed to completely break down meat (as it does with plant based foods), undigested meat can get trapped in these bends and pockets. Here it can putrefy for days, delaying elimination and thus causing toxicity—a key component of disease creation.
As detailed in The Hallelujah Diet book, food has the amazing power to both create and destroy health. The dense, living nutrients found in a diet of primarily raw, plant-based foods and their juices are the ingredients needed to meet and satisfy your cells’ nutritional needs, restore damaged cells and rebuild whole-body health that will last a lifetime.

Where is the Evidence?

The Hallelujah Diet is based on the physical nourishment as intended from our Provider in Genesis 1:29: “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat [food].”
As commonly recommended by health professionals, The Hallelujah Diet includes eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking more water, eating less saturated fats and hydrogenated oils, consuming more fiber, getting more exercise and alleviating stress; The Hallelujah Diet® is supported by research studies that validate its foundation as a means toward eliminating sickness.
As shown in the thousands of testimonials we’ve received, the Hallelujah Diet has helped relieve the symptoms of acid reflux, obesity, cancer and more.
Below is a basic guideline of foods eaten on The Hallelujah Diet. For more information, see the Typical Day and Foods to Avoid pages.

The 85% Raw Portion

This portion of The Hallelujah Diet is composed exclusively of the garden foods God instructs man to eat (Genesis 1:29). The dense living nutrients found in raw foods and their juices produce abundant energy and vibrant health while satisfying our cells’ nutritional needs, controlling hunger efficiently.

  • Beverages: Freshly extracted vegetable juices, BarleyMax, CarrotJuiceMax, BeetMax, and remineralized distilled water
  • Dairy Alternatives: Fresh almond milk, creamy banana milk, as well as frozen banana, strawberry, or blueberry “fruit creams”
  • Fruit: All fresh, as well as unsulphured organic dried fruit (limit fruit to no more than 15% of daily food intake)
  • Grains: Soaked oats, raw muesli, dehydrated granola, dehydrated crackers
  • Beans: Green beans, peas, sprouted garbanzos, sprouted lentils, and sprouted mung beans
  • Nuts & Seeds: Raw almonds, sunflower seeds, macadamia nuts, walnuts, raw almond butter or tahini (consume sparingly)
  • Oils and Fats: Extra virgin olive oil, Udo’s Oil, flaxseed oil (the oil of choice for people with cancer, except men with prostate cancer, who may be better served meeting the essential fat needs through freshly ground flaxseed), and avocados
  • Seasonings: Fresh or dehydrated herbs, garlic, sweet onions, parsley, and salt-free seasonings
  • Sweets: Fruit smoothies, raw fruit pies with nut/date crusts, date-nut squares, etc.
  • Vegetables: All raw vegetables

The 15% Cooked Portion

Cooked foods follow the raw salad at lunch or evening meals and can prove beneficial for those trying to maintain body weight.

The Hallelujah Diet Explained


 
Hallelujah means 'God being praised'. Why are you twisting scriptures and teaching wrong things in the name of God?

  • God ate CALF (Gen 18:8)
  • Jesus Christ ate LAMB (Matt 14:12)
  • Jesus Christ ate FISH (John 21:13)
But you haven't mentioned CALF, LAMB and FISH - not even once.

Prov 3:5-8 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.

Are you teaching that your food is based on Scriptures to keep us healthy when Scripture really is saying something else? You quoted Genesis 1:29. But why haven't you quoted Genesis 9:3?

Please don't twist scriptures.
 
Yeah, I was looking over this diet article and as that old commercial with the old lady used to say, "Where's the beef?"

In all fairness, I think AKJVReader was just quoting an article, which is where I directed my comment, but the article mentions health professionals, which everyone here knows how I feel about them and their errors.

AS for pockets in the Intestines, no problem if you are a person like me. As a matter of fact, that's one reason I don't do excessive running due to that runner's D. But there are some people, and especially leaning a tad more toward women, who boast they don't go for a whole week! I can't even begin to imagine how they do it being that sluggish and yet they move their body like crazy. I'd be in dire pain! :lol
 
It certainly is most likely that vegetables are more healthier then meat.
As you showed it Genesis 1:29 how people were eating vegetables back, but please remember these 2 things:
1. After Noah and his family came off the ark God not only put a promise of a rainbow but that mankind now has permission to eat the meat of animals.
Further scriptures show how we are to go about this such as do not eat the animal
with his blood as it is alive..
Genesis 9:4
But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.NKJV

2. A person may choose whether they want to eat meat or vegetables in their nutritional diet. But never say that it is a law to not either eat meat or vegetables.
1 Timothy 4

The Great Apostasy

1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5 for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. NKJV
 
Here's a couple of thoughts...

First of all, if folks want to follow a completely vegetarian diet...more power to 'em! :thumbsup

Secondly, there's a fallacy of logic to this premise:

The design of the human body is not like that of carnivorous mammals; our digestive tract was not designed to properly digest and dispose of meat. Carnivorous mammals have a relatively short and straight digestive tract that eliminates meat waste efficiently.
Herbivores and humans have a much longer digestive tract that includes many bends and pockets.....

....The Hallelujah Diet is based on the physical nourishment as intended from our Provider in Genesis 1:29: “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat [food]
The glaring fallacy here is that the God that created the digestive tracts of cows as well as the digestive tracts of cheetahs and the digestive tracts Adam and Eve.

....And God gave ALL of them the plants to eat as would be obvious when one reads the rest of the sentence: "...and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for foodâ€; and it was so." (Genesis 1:30)

Also, I would like to see some actual scientific proof that meat "putrefies" in our digestive tracts...little "facts" like these that are thrown out there without support make me a little suspect...from what I've learned about nutrition...which includes a college level class in the subject...the breakdown of meat begins in the stomach, which breaks the protein down to the molecular level and the small intestines finish the job of breaking the protein molecules down to amino acids, which are then absorbed by the body.

Secondly, it's my understanding that true herbavores...animals that eat only vegetables, no meat of any kind, have either chambered tummies for partial digestion or regurgitation (chew the cud)...(like cows), eat their own poo (like rabbits) or they must eat almost continually in order to gain enough nutrition out of the strictly plant based diet they eat...(like horses). Another thing about horses and other non-ruminative herbivores is that their cecum is quite large and filled with bacterias that aid in digestion.

Third and last...I'm always a little suspect of folks that push a "natural" diet, or in this case "God's diet"...and key to the success is the monthly supplemental support for only $74.95! If the diet alone is so wonderful...why the need for the expensive supplements?

All that said....again, if one believes that one will have better health and energy eating a wholly vegetarian diet...up to and including the $75.00 per month supplements...go for it!

For me and my fam...well, paying $2.95 for one (1) granola bar is a little to much of a stretch for my food budget.
