Lose weight with the Bible Diet
The Bible diet is also known as the Maker's diet. It is a forty-day weight loss reduction program based on teachings from the Books in the The Holy Bible including Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Proverbs, Genesis, Leviticus, Judges, and Isaiah, 1 Corinthians, Habakkuk, Daniel and Luke. The diet is based on the categorization of foods as either being unclean (unholy) or clean (holy) in God's eyes, and the cleaner (holier) you are about what you eat and your eating habits, the better chance you have of losing a great deal of weight.
The Bible Diet categorizes food according to these factors, which are derived from verses in the scriptures of the Holy Bible:
- Whether or not the food grew on a tree, and if it did not, it could be unclean and unholy
- Whether or not the food was grown from a seed and if not, it is unholy
- Whether or not an animal has a cloven hoof in two and chews the cud, and if not it is unholy and should not be eaten
- How the food was raised, killed, cleaned or cooked and if it's raising could be considered to be Kosher
- How a particular animal lived before it was slaughtered as this affects the holiness of the food and whether or not it is clean of hormone disrupting toxins
- Whether or not the food came from a creeping animal, which is one that scuttles or across the ground or is low to the ground or objectionable in some way according to a passage in the bible
- Whether or not a water creature has fins or scales or not because if it walks in the water, like a frog or an alligator, it is unholy, but if it swims, like a fish, it is holy
Frog's legs are not allowed on The Bible Diet.
The diet also prohibits many white starchy foods and also sugar and it also restricts the eating of meat, which is why, beyond the matter of faith in the will of God, it causes weight loss. It also promotes weight loss because it promotes the very healthy practice of eating only organic vegetables, fruits and legumes. The meats approved of in the diet are very high protein, which makes this diet very similar to the Paleo or Atkins diet, which also restrict starchy carbohydrates and sugar and encourage the eating of lean meat together with complex carbohydrates.
This diet is also a Kosher diet, which means you do not eat the blood of an animal and that the animal is killed by a single cut across the throat without causing the animal to die with any suffering. It is unholy to eat an animal that has been killed in a gas chamber, with a blow to the head, a gun shot or electrical current. The fact that these animals were killed while under extreme stress means that the meat is flooded with hormones that once consumed, affect human hormones and thus cause weight gain.
Method 1: By Practicing the Daily Prayer, Purpose and Partial Fast Days
Praying before eating is a daily necessary regimen for weight loss.
Throughout the forty days of the diet, you must adopt the following daily lifestyle regimens to improve your chances of getting to your weight-loss goal.
- 1Be sure to pray and give thanks before each meal. The idea is that consistency in your eating habits helps your body reset itself and heal your damaged metabolism.Make sure you eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same time every day.
Eat a healthy breakfast every day to help reset your metabolism. - 2All that is required is a stroll, but you can go for a swim, bike ride or work out in a gym if you like. This helps you burn off some calories and build lean muscle so that you are expending calories even while at rest.Make sure that you exercise both in the morning and the evening for at least an hour.
Exercising every day is part of the Bible Diet. - 3Personal hygiene is a metaphor for the temple in which resides your soul and connection to your higher power.Cleaning your body and place thoroughly every day is an important part of this diet.
- 4Aside from being mentioned in the Bible, frankincense is also a natural air sterilizer that gets rid of bacteria and viruses and it facilitates weight loss because it balances hormones and puts you in a good mood. This helps prevent cravings and binge eating.Every day you will use frankincense as incense as an offering to the Lord in exchange for fulfilling your weight loss goals.
A jar of pure Frankincense incense. - 5In eight ounces of water, mix two tablespoons of whole food fiber and two tablespoon of blue-green algae in eight to twelve ounces of purified water and drink. Blue-green algae is a source of natural iodine, which supports your immune system. It also has chlorophyll in it, which helps to cleanse your bloodstream of fats and toxins, which in turn causes more efficient cell respiration and weight loss.Every day you will drink a special green super food blend to detoxify your endocrine system and reboot your metabolism.
