Product Description
From Amazon
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
From Publishers Weekly
After the goose has been gobbled and the cookies consumed, Americans' thoughts turn toward their ever-expanding waistlines. 'Tis the season for diet books, especially in the Christian market. Thomas Nelson, capitalizing on the What Would Jesus Do? phenomenon, presents What Would Jesus Eat?: The Ultimate Program for Eating Well, Feeling Great, and Living Longer. Author Don Colbert, a family physician, urges readers to examine and emulate Jesus' simple diet. The nutritional information, overall, is quite sound: Colbert encourages the consumption of fish, the use of olive oil in cooking and an exercise regimen of daily walking. He discusses the "hidden dangers" of pork, condemns refined white flour and warns against the excessive consumption of red meat. This "all-natural diet from biblical times" promises readers fitness and longevity. Although it should be recalled that longevity was not exactly a hallmark of many biblical characters after the early chapters of Genesis, this is a solid addition to the Christian diet shelves.

Really Makes You Think,
By Jennifer Bilbrey (Hendersonville, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What Would Jesus Eat?: The Ultimate Program for Eating Well, Feeling Great, and Living Longer (Hardcover)
This book is en excellent source if you are looking to change your life. Part of the book re-hashes what is said in the Bible concerning diet, particularly Leviticus. The author does a great job at explaining what is meant by Levitical law and making it make sense. Warning: It will really make you reconsider your diet and your lifestyle, so if you're not ready for that, then avoid this book! If you ARE looking for a change, this is the perfect book. BUY it.

Okay,
This review is from: What Would Jesus Eat?: The Ultimate Program for Eating Well, Feeling Great, and Living Longer (Hardcover)
Having struggled with a weight problem for years now, I was overjoyed to see a book that would help me manage my weight the Lord's way. However, at times this book merely seemed to be cashing in on the What Would Jesus Do? phenomenon without actually caring about the reader. I must admit that I did lose 30 pounds while on this diet, but this may have been due to the fact that I was only allowed to eat fish and loaves of bread rather than to divine inspiration.

Listen to your body!,

This review is from: What Would Jesus Eat?: The Ultimate Program for Eating Well, Feeling Great, and Living Longer (Hardcover)
I won't buy this book, so my review is based only on a newpaper article that tells me enough to know that this diet is wrong for me. Having rigidly adhered to some very "healthy" diets and ended up endangering my health, I would caution readers that there is no one-size-fits-all diet out there. It took me years to discover that I require relatively high amounts of protein and fat, as explained in The Metabolic Typing Diet, by William Wolcott. Try copying Jesus' diet for a while and see how you feel. If the answer is fantastic, wonderful! But if not, don't make my mistake, be open to the idea that God may intend something different for you.
