God's Diet : A Short & Simple Way to Eat Naturally, Lose Weight, and Live a Healthier Life

Summary: Great Idea...
Review: This book is so simple to read; it's very thin and it gets to the point. I think the problem with most books is that they "stuff" them with so much difficult to read and difficult to understand information. This leads to not completing the book. The idea is very simple and makes total sense. How do you feel after you eat a meal from a box? Many people on ivillage.com stated (on the board that is non-existent now) that they lost several pounds and feel great. If you don't like the book, then return it. It's definitely worth reading and can be read in a week after work. And, the best part about it is that it is TOTALLY NOT RELIGIOUS! Something us heathens enjoy.

Summary: The ultimate celebrity diet
Review: This well-researched book argues for a regime of healthy eating using fresh produce. I have had serious weight issues myself and I have probably tried every diet there is going. The secret of healthy eating is feeling good about yourself and your body image. For a divine entity of incomprehensible dimensions, infinite mass is what God feels comfortable with, and this comforts me.

Summary: KW's facts are skewed
Review: Unfortunately I have not read this particular book, but I have read related books (ie; "The Hawaii Diet" and "What the Bible has to say about Healthy Living"). The principles are sound, but I am particularly responding to KW's comments about ancestral life spans. While true that biblical accounts back the idea of very long life spans for the first several generations, by the time you get into the 500BC area, life spans were much shorter,thanks to disease, wars, and the general breakdown of God's creation, thanks to the curse. By the middle ages, 40 years of age was quite old, and that's a fact which KW must not have bothered to check out.

Summary: Misinformed
Review: Unfortunately the author is very new to nutrition and health and even a full awareness of the Bible (since it is supposed to be "God's Diet"). First of all, it is rather sad that the emphasis is on weight loss, with very little awareness of the health implications of a wrong diet. If you eat healthy, you will lose weight, but the benefits of good health are so much longer lasting and valuable. Secondly, although Gen. 9:3 in the Bible says we can eat all living things, Leviticus 11 gives a list of "clean and unclean" meats. (Pork are scavenger (garbage can) animals and "bottom feeder" lobster, shrimp, crab, etc. are the ocean scavengers-thus the reason God told us to avoid.) The author may want to look at the list if she ever revises her book. Also, bread and pasta ARE GOOD FOODS - IF THEY ARE MADE WITH THE WHOLE GRAINS - and they are Bible foods. I would recommend she stick to her premise "If God didn't make it, don't eat it" and really research and learn the difference. Many of the permissable foods she lists are man-made and harmful. Try the books "The Word on Health" by Dr. Michael Jacobson; "The Bible Cure" by Reginald Cherry; "What Would Jesus Eat?" by Dr. Don Colbert; and "Eating God's Way" video by Dr. Gordon Tessler. If you enter these titles on Amazon, they will recommend other books along the same line to start you on your road to health and weight loss.

Summary: So Far So Good
Review: Well even if you believe that the processed foods are good for you if you read the rationale behind not eating it, it makes sense. It also works(hence the title diet) after only 3 weeks I lost 10 inches and 6 pounds. The only issue I have is I would like more info and I do not know how to contact the author.
It is very hard because everything that is processed has some kind of sugar, modified food starch or flour in it. But it is easy too because there is no portion control and I have still lost.

Summary: But what about...?
Review: What about the unleavened breads the people of the Old Testament ate and the wine they drank?!?

Bread is from grain and wine is from grapes...both can be either pick from the earth or pulled from a vine!

Moderation is the key in all we do!! Philippians 4:5

I DO like the way they ate in OT times...meat with bitter herbs aka. meats with veggies (Exodus 12:8)yes, very low carbs...but they still had unleavened breads and wine with their meals.(Genesis 27:37)
