The Jerusalem Diet

The human body is beautifully and wonderfully designed to thrive on a variety of foods. That's why restrictive diets and trendy eating plans rarely result in long-term success. The Jerusalem Diet, by contrast, offers a remarkably simple and flexible plan that frees readers to relax and enjoy life, working steadily toward their ideal weight without giving up the foods they love. In this hope-filled book, mega-church Pastor Ted Haggard reveals the details of the Jerusalem Diet, so named because, out of personal frustration--"My pants were too tight "--he started practicing this simple eating plan with immediate results during a 1998 trip to Israel. And he shares the dramatic, life-transforming changes others experienced when they, too, adopted this practical, guilt-free approach to healthy eating. Free of gimmicks and radical demands, The Jerusalem Diet requires only a digital scale, a calendar, and a willingness to "lighten up"--physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Readers will learn to manage their weight one day at a time, one pound at a time, without guilt or starvation techniques.
