In What Would Jesus Eat? The Ultimate Program for Eating Well, Feeling Great, and Living Longer, Don Colbert, M.D. makes a compelling case for Christians to use the blueprint of this appetizing spin on traditional faith-based diet books to develop a healthier lifestyle using foods available today. "If you truly want to follow Jesus in every area of your life, you cannot ignore your eating habits," postulates Colbert. He examines America's alarming addiction to fast food, explores Old Testament Jewish dietary laws, and takes a comprehensive look at foods mentioned in the Bible, from herbs to bread to meat. To this information Colbert adds a healthy serving of Scripture references, mixes in a few anecdotes, and finishes the book with an easy-to-follow weekly eating guide. Colbert also tackles the subject of drinking red wine as part of a healthy lifestyle, something often ignored in Christian-based health books. Readers looking for spiritual reasons to make dietary changes will discover excellent justification here to take the plunge. --Cindy Crosby

I once saw a book in the window of a religious bookstore, and it was called something like "THE CATHOLIC IDEAL" and showed a picture on the cover of the Pope playing soccer, in pope regalia. Freaked me out a little to be honest.

This is brilliant! Now if we could only get weight loss, Jesus, and porn into a single product, we'd be rich.

We know what Jesus ate, because it says so in the Bible: dates, fish (probably carp and perch), bread, wine

John the Baptist had a more proto-hippy diet: locusts and wild honey.

They probably had awesome food in the part of the world back then: olive oil, chick-peas, flat bread, goat, melon and grapes, fish, wine, etc. (I know the oldest beer recipe from Iraq is about 4,000 years old.)

Now we have ARBY's!! God hates us all.

Jesus had access to limes, right? The 12 Disciples didn't suffer from scurvey, did they?

kingfish kuribo's shoe (kingfish 2.0), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 19:59 (twenty years ago)

I don't know if they had limes... maybe. Citrus is originally from Asia but it could have made it there by then. However, they might very well have had pomegranates and maybe apricots? Onions?

andy --, Tuesday, 17 January 2006 20:09 (twenty years ago)

i could definitely use more chick peas in my diet. yum. i think they had pomegranates, not sure about apricots.

btw, does it strike anyone else as funny that this book about a jesus-inspired diet markets itself as a way to achieve a long life?

Maria (Maria), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 20:24 (twenty years ago)

Well, hey, the dude lives forever!

Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 20:29 (twenty years ago)

i had to change from "jesus-based diet" to "jesus-inspired diet" in my last post to avoid humorous ambiguity, but in that case, i guess a jesus based diet does get you closer to living forever than a jesus inspired diet :)

Maria (Maria), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 20:34 (twenty years ago)

Well, if you believe in that stuff, you're on a Jesus-based diet every time you go to the service. His flesh and blood, remember?

they stored it in clay jars, then made delicious mud pies from the dirt. one of jesus's lesser-known miracle teachings.

Then the preliminary course was served in very elegant style. For all were now at table except Trimalchio, for whom the first place was reserved, by a reversal of ordinary usage. Among the other hors d'oeuvres stood a little ass of Corinthian bronze with a packsaddle holding olives, white olives on one side, black on the other. The animal was flanked right and left by silver dishes, on the rim of which Trimalchio's name was engraved and the weight. On arches built up in the form of miniature bridges were dormice seasoned with honey and poppy-seed. There were sausages, too, smoking hot on a silver grill, and underneath (to imitate coals) Syrian plums and pomegranate seeds.

# In The Weigh Down Diet, Gwen Shamblinadvises readers to stick within "God's perfect boundaries of hunger and fullness" if they want to shed a pound or two.

# He argues that, in Biblical times, people who ate a raw diet lived an average of 912 years, although concedes he lacks the science to prove it.

# That, says Mr Rubin - who describes himself as "a biblical health coach" - means eating yoghurt derived from raw, fermented milk rather than the pasteurised, low-fat, flavoured variety.

man, this site is the gift that keeps on giving:

No more dieting...period. Really. From the day you begin a Weigh Down seminar, you will never again count a single calorie or fat gram, you will never again examine the contents list on a box, you will never again consult a food-exchange list or menu planning card, you will never again do your shopping in the dietetic food aisle of the grocery store, and you will never again step onto a treadmill to work off the candy bar you ate. There is no gimmick to Weigh Down. We will never approach you to buy our foods or our pills or our exercise equipment...because we don’t have any!

Typical diets have not worked because everyone is using man-made rules instead of God’s rules. God has never asked anyone to eat food off of a list, count fat exchanges, or take an appetite suppressant! Weigh Down doesn’t have any of those things. What we DO have is a future-a future to be filled and fulfilled. Hunger will be filled and appetites will be under control, given to God.

We fully believe that dieting - making the food behave by changing the ingredients or forcing yourself to temporarily follow strict man-made rules - only aggravate the problem of overweight. How many times have you tried "one more diet," only to again gain back all the weight you lost and maybe more? Think about it: the more diets fail, the better off the diet industry is!


later:


Many people ask, "What does God have to do with weight loss?" Our answer is: EVERYTHING!

He created your body to work wonderfully, with intricate systems and an ability to maintain itself. However, the more that mankind thinks it knows better, the more weight it gains. God did not dictate the Basic Four Food Groups or command that we eat according to food exchanges and fat-gram content. He did provide boundaries for our eating - hunger and fullness. He created the digestive system to create a growling stomach when the blood sugar level drops to a certain point to alert you to the fact that the body is ready for fueling.

Unfortunately, this foundational cue to the body has been ignored for so long that most people don’t even know what it feels like and think it is a bad thing to even find out! Aside from the damage to the body that overeating creates (after all, the body is His Temple), God is broken hearted over the fact that so many of His children have learned to run to the food instead of to Him for comfort, companionship, and acceptance.

there are a whole slew of "christian" to-do/advice-type books, and not just for cooking and weight-loss. for example, there are books re "christian" investing, christian how-to-get-out-of-debt, etc. i can't speak to the usefulness of the former, but as to the latter -- i browsed through it in a bookstore recently, and it's very sensible and totally above-board (e.g., pay off high debts before putting money in low-interest savings; put some money in 401(k)s if there's an employer match; Roth IRAs; etc.). this advice was mixed with some biblical verses about the values of thrift, the evils of debt, etc.

as long as these books aren't ripping anyone off, i don't see the harm.
