The Bible diet

Hi everyone I hope everyone is enjoying today. I have a bit of a problem my doctor told me to lose weight to be healthy and I understand that. My problem is finding a diet that I can stick to for longer than a week. Then I talk to my priest and he suggested I follow the Bible diet. If I eat for my faith then I'll be more inclined to do it. Does anyone know specifically what the Catholic Church tells us to eat? I know not to eat meat on Fridays during Lent but I don't know what else to eat and I've tried looking up in books and online any advice would be appreciated.

I wouldn't know about the Catholic diet but as far as diets go and losing weight it's actually not as complicated as people think. If you want to lose wight just try to stay away from carbs and fatty foods eat more fruits and veggies and drink as much water as you can because the more water you drink the more your body flushes out carbs and fats juice is a good substitute for drinks don't drink soda not even diet soda. It's pretty basic but works great if you do it right the issue is lots of people want a quick fix and don't put in the effort to do it. Of course without exercise of some kind even with the best diet you won't lose that much

Ask the priest, maybe he can help since he suggested it.

I think you've been had! Itallian monks used to complement German monks devotion devotion to the faith because they drank beer instead of wine, really!

Just eat real food including lot's of veggies and some fruit daily.

I have good news for you! Listen closely, and keep this in mind...

"It is scientifically impossible to not lose weight."

You have seen people starving in Africa. You have also seen people so big they can't get out of bed. What is the difference between the two? Calories. I feel bad for both who have extremely dangerous calorie counts. I'm not saying to take it too far, but that you should find your personal magic number. Here's what you do...

Take a day to eat the way you normally do, but write down every calorie every time you eat that day- this is your normal calorie intake. The next day weigh yourself right when you get out of bed, after using the restroom, and before taking in any calories or water. Write down your weight, and eat one hundred less calories on day two. Repeat on day three the instructions for day two. Then the same for day four etc- until the first day that you notice that you weigh one pound less- this is your personal magic number of calories to eat in a day in order to lose weight. One little baby step down- not extreme or dangerous.

Another thing that is dangerous is to abstain from certain types of foods your body needs. Your body does not ever need soda pop, fried foods, or tons of sugar. But it does need calcium, protein, vitamins, and minerals- many of which are depleted by following certain diet fads. What you need to consider is calorie count and natural foods- chicken, milk, dark green veggies, colorful veggies, and whole grains. Drink smoothies instead of juice, which is really sugar water filled with chemicals.

If you follow this, weightless and health are guaranteed.

Don't listen to the Catholic church, about anything. The bible itself calls them 'things taught by demons'. "They order people to not marry (priests) and to abstain from certain foods (the only 'lent' in the bible is like "he lent me his coat".

In Leviticus 11 it tells of the Bible diet for Jews.
Unclean are scavengers, predators, fish with skin not scales which are bottom feeders sucking mud to eat dead things, fish with external shell (Lobsters, clams, shrimp) which are the ocean's filters and no rabbit.

I agrees with Blain, without any exercise your diet is doomed to failure. Exercise is a good way to discipline your body. The benefit of exercise is not really the number of calories spent but rather the reaction of the metabolism including less appetite.

what will you do after a diet? many people diet and then gain it all back again

research healthy eating habits and maybe try to understand why you have eaten enough to gain weight

there is no quick fix for poor eating habits but if want to loose 10 lbs up front quick, you could follow the South Beach Diet or even a Paleo diet. both of those will take off some lbs up front quickly

however, what you really want to do, is cultivate eating healthy without starving yourself

you don't have to be any religion to loose weight

you should also do some exercise along with your trying to improve how you eat

exercise is tatamount to keeping a healthy lifestyle.....walking, biking, swimming...or weights, pilates..whatever you find you like to do. even 3 x's a week will really help!

hope you meet your goals
