Jesus Diet
The latest diet fad (just in time for the upcoming religious holidays no doubt) is turning to Jesus. Literally. Author Dr. Don Colbert has penned the What Would Jesus Eat?: The Ultimate Program for Eating Well, Feeling Great, and Living Longer book, basing it on food references made in the Bible and what was available at that time in history. Dr Colbert reasons that because some people model their morals and principles on Jesus behavior then why shouldn’t they develop their diet on his too?
“If you truly want to follow Jesus in every area of your life, you cannot ignore your eating habits,” Dr Colbert says addressing Christians in the book.
Because Jesus was reported to be Jewish, Dr Colbert inferred that his diet was mainly a Kosher Mediterranean one rich in fish, occasionally lamb, figs, dates, olives, olive oil, whole meal flat bread and naturally red wine. Jesus also often walked between towns which meant that he got his share of exercise too, an important part of the “What Would Jesus Eat?” diet.
But like with most diets, it will be wise to consult with your doctor before following the new book to the tee as Jesus may have had a limited choice when it came to a menu.
