Hallelujah Acres Diet/Detox

The Hallelujah Diet is a menu of 85% raw, uncooked, and unprocessed plant-based food, and 15% cooked, plant-based food.
Why Plant-based Foods?
The design of the human body is not like that of carnivorous mammals; our digestive tract was not designed to properly digest and dispose of meat. Carnivorous mammals have a relatively short and straight digestive tract that eliminates meat waste efficiently.

Herbivores and humans have a much longer digestive tract that includes many bends and pockets. Because our stomach acid is not designed to completely break down meat (as it does with plant based foods), undigested meat can get trapped in these bends and pockets. Here it can putrefy for days, delaying elimination and thus causing toxicity—a key component of disease creation.

As detailed in The Hallelujah Diet book, food has the amazing power to both create and destroy health. The dense, living nutrients found in a diet of primarily raw, plant-based foods and their juices are the ingredients needed to meet and satisfy your cells’ nutritional needs, restore damaged cells and rebuild whole-body health that will last a lifetime.

Where is the Evidence?
The Hallelujah Diet is based on the physical nourishment as intended from our Provider in Genesis 1:29: “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat [food].”

As commonly recommended by health professionals, The Hallelujah Diet includes eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking more water, eating less saturated fats and hydrogenated oils, consuming more fiber, getting more exercise and alleviating stress; The Hallelujah Diet® is supported by research studies that validate its foundation as a means toward eliminating sickness.

As shown in the thousands of testimonials we’ve received, the Hallelujah Diet has helped relieve the symptoms of acid reflux, obesity, cancer and more.

Below is a basic guideline of foods eaten on The Hallelujah Diet. For more information, see the Typical Day and Foods to Avoid pages.
