Is this legit, a joke or spam?
What diet requirements do Christians have to need a diet plan specifically for them?

Lol....I have no words0

As an atheist, will I burn more calories, though?0

I'm j/k, but really, why does it have to be exclusively for Christians? Do you have to drink holy water? I'm confused.0

No, you'll just burn, heathen.

Diet plan for Christians
Step 1 eat what you like, follow anyone else's diet plan.
Step 2 eat fish on Friday, no other meat.
Step 3 no working out on Sunday.
That about it? Or have I missed something

Will I at least burn enough to not have to use the furnace this winter? I would like to keep my family warm0 -
Guys, this is no joke. Out of curiosity, I just looked it up online. All I got was a Spam loaded website where you have to pay for classes in order to use their weight loss program. I didn't got much further than to look at the registration because experience has taught me a few things:
- Any diet will work if I eat at a calorie deficit.
- To lose weight I do not have to follow any special diet program, I just have to eat at a calorie deficit.
My suggestion is to not do this special diet. Eat the food you love at a calorie deficit, and you will lose weight.0 -

Oh, yeah. OP - don't go wasting your money. It sounds like just a pocket lining sham to raise money by appealing to a niche group. Eat at a deficit. You don't need to follow a special diet.0 -
Ok, for all those people that don't know, there are a few diets based on the Bible. Just like we have diets based on what we think neanderthals ate, people have diets based on what the Bible says about food.
For example, in the old testament it states there are unclean foods - Leviticus 11:1-23 and Deuteronomy 14:3-21 and some Christians feel that unclean foods are still unclean.
However, as a Christian, I see no reason to follow any of these diet plan books that are supposedly based on the Bible. If you want to get healthy eating a varied diet with reasonable portions with ~0.8g/kg protein, ~30% fat, and the rest carbs is perfectly fine.
If I understand the reviews, that is essentially what the the diet is. I don't see the point in buying the book. I mean, if you need a food devotional to set you straight, then I guess it is a good book. If you are looking for how to lose weight, MFP provides everything you need and you'd probably be better off buying a regular devotional or just reading the Bible.0 -
What is christian about it? If it's as painful as sitting through church, count me out.0

Keeping kosher is different than someone hawking a diet based on the bible.0 -

Actually, it's not a diet plan based on anything mentioned in the Bible. It's praying to lose weight.

So, how many of you would be surprised that I play EDM (among a variety of other genres) at my church?0

Isn't your desire to overeat really spiritual hunger?0

...sounds like...a party.0 -
Based on a very quick Google - it's praying to lose weight, nothing more, nothing less. I suppose it'd work just as well as anything Dr. Oz shucks.0

That was one example, I'm not defending this book as good or not (it probably is bad), but kosher is based on the Bible, or if you want to argue, the Old testament is based on Judaism, I really don't care which way you want to view it.
There are other diets based on the Bible, like the Maker's Diet. I'm not a fan of that diet either.0 -

Why would that be surprising or otherwise to anyone?

I didn't think you were supposed to drink that. Maybe Next time I'll take a re-used aquafina bottle and dunk it in there.0 -
No Noah jokes?
No eating two/seven types of meat with each meal?

Isn't the Maker's Diet pretty much just doubleplus kosher? That's how I understood it.

It's also a fitness plan...
And on the Seventh Day, we rested. And it was good. And lo, but he ate all the food and it was good. And he called it rest day and lifted nothing heavy.0 -

I used to drink it as a kid, you know, when you get the tiny bottles of holy water? My friend in high school used to take the little bottles from his mom's church and fill them with vodka.0 -
Y'all are making this WAY too hard - seriously, you just PRAY. That's it. Just pray. And it happens. Magically. That's it. After you pay for the book and S&H&tithing to be charged to your cc each month as seed money.-1
