OK, so not His diet, but the one He convicted me to go on.
So, I'm over weight. In April I decided it was about time I brought my weight concerns before the Lord. I expressed how I wished to be healthy in weight because I was a temple to Him and I wished for my temple to Him to be as good as I could possibly make it.
Then, the very next day I decided to watch the 700 Club (I normally do not watch this show). What do I see? I man is showing about his weight lose diet that worked for him. Now I can put two and two together. Here I am asking the Lord to help me lose weight and the very next day I have a feeling that I ought to turn on the 700 Club and right there in front of me is a weight lose program. Well I slept on it and the next morning I felt convicted to try this program. I prayed on it to be sure and sure enough I was.
Anyways the program is basically the Atkin's diet. Very low carb and as much of whatever else you want (my kinda diet!). So I got the book and read it and decided to give it a go.
Sure enough, a little less than 4 months later I had lost over 45 pounds! No joke. I consulted with my doctor and he was surprised. He did some blood work, because he figured my cholesterol would be WAY UP HERE, but I have normal levels. Not only have I lost 45 pounds, but I lost like 6+ inches around my waist and I feel loads better, both physically and mentally.
So I am still over weight, but the Lord told me to stop and to take a fast and I did. When I finished I had dropped 5 more pounds, and have kept it off (amazingly). I have reverted almost all the way back to my previous eating with no weight gain or waist gain, and it has been two months.
Anyways, the Lord told me to start back up again, so here I am. Been back on it for the last few days (since Monday).
The specifics of the diet is really simple. No more than 4 carbs in a serving and no more than 20 carbs in a day. It sounds bad, but I did tell my doctor about it and he said it sounded like it would work and that it was completely healthy for someone like me (since I got more than enough carbs hanging around as it is!). Besides the carb restriction I can eat anything else that I want in any quantity that I want, and of course I refrain from gluttony.
For me it is not so hard to stay on it. I got the Lord keeping me strong and that is tied with the fact that I cannot eat most carb products anyways, since they have milk in them. The only thing I really cut was bread and the occasional sweet. But who needs sweets when you got bacon? :D
Anyways, with another lose I suspect I will be well in the normal zone, weight wise.

Did this work out for you in the long run?
