Anyone with any info or even a theological reflection on the diet Hallelujah Diet? I am Jewish so I keep Kosher as well!!! Wow Kosher and Atkins is hard work i am a hero:)

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure everything vegan is also kosher (though I'm a vegetarian and not Jewish, so you may want to check that yourself).

The Hallelujah diet seems pretty healthy, but is intended to be used with a certain brand of supplements. I would say skip the supplements (like Barley Max, etc.) and just follow the rest of the diet.

The Hallelujah Diet also claims to heal and reverse diseases... that sounds like a marketing ploy to me. Please don't stop seeing a doctor (if you already do) if you decide to follow this diet.

You might also be interested in the Macrobiotic Diet. The only meat consumed is fish (few times a week), and if you cut that out, it is completely vegan.

If you're trying to become a vegetarian, I would start slow. Cut out a little bit at a time. I found it helpful to stop eating beef one week, then the next week I stopped eating chicken... etc. until I didn't eat any meat at all. Most importantly, do some research on vegetarian/veganism. You need to know how to keep a healthy, balanced diet so you don't need supplements... or you could have an unbalanced diet and take the supplements (B12, iron, etc.)... your choice.

Good luck with your diet.

P.S. A Kosher Atkins Diet... you are a hero.

First, here's the website to Hallelujah Acres: www.hacres.com

I am on the diet and my blood pressure has dropped (which is good), my weight has dropped and I just generally feel good, which hasn't happened in a long time.

As far as the theological background.....if you look in the Bible, the first diet was plant based, not meat based. The people on the plant based diet lived longer than after God gave permission for people to eat meat. After they were given permission to eat meat their life expectancy kept going down generation after generation. Made me kind of wonder about the meat in our diet......

I'm Christian. Not just somebody who does Christmas and Easter, but one who not only believes, but tries to live the faith. (My faith is what lead me to become vegan,but that's a different story.) It is my limted understanding that kosher foods are also vegan. I read that in either VegNews (the one time I flipped through an issue) or on-line on a veg site. From reading labels, that seems to be true. If I'm wrong, please correct me. If I'm right, please confirm my speculations. Thank you.

Over the summer, I had to take my husband to the ER. What he thoght was wrong, wasn't and he's fine. (However, we both decided that it was God giving him a kick in the butt and my husband has since made some changes in his eating habits. He and I now basically eat the same things.) Anyway, there, I got a copy of "Back to the Garden" subtitle: Teaching Health from a Biblical Perspective. It's from Halleujah Acres. I only read it once, but from what I recall, it does seem to be very Biblical. I just pulled the magazine out from an old backpack that got pushed under my desk when we moved here a couple of months ago. (We moved a month before our first child was born. For the past six weeks she's been my top concern, even though we still have boxes in the living room.) Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to see how Biblical it is. I had actually forgotten about it until your question. When I nurse my daughter again in about an hour, I'll flip through the magazine again. Or, if I'msitting at the comptuer, I'll look at the website, www.hacres.com

However, some of the stuff did seem to be about selling stuff, so maybe with a grain of salt.

When my daughter was in her first couple of weeks of life, I found some interesting articles on Christian vegetarianism and veganism. Because I couldn't climb stairs but twice a day, I spent the first two weeks in our bedroom (where our daughter's crib is). My husband lent me his laptop and the articles are likely still in the history. I might be able to look them up today, as I'll basically be gone the rest of the weekend.

Anyway, I hope I've been of some help.
