Week 7

Weigh, and you should be noticing a marked reduction if you've moved from unhealthy to healthy in the past 6 weeks.

Scriptures  for this week:
II Corinthians 1:3-5; Numbers 9:8; II Chronicles 20:15,17

This is an ongoing lifestyle to bring you to a healthy weight, not skinny, but healthy and to maintain the proper nutrition for your body, giving glory and honor to G-d.  Continue weighing weekly on the same day of the week.  Once you have reached your healthy weight, keep in mind underweight is no healthier than overweight.  "Moderation in all things."  Simply maintain.  Learn that each opportunity to choose is an opportunity to experience I Corinthians 10:31.  If you can't ask G-d to bless it to the nourishment of your body . . . DON'T EAT IT!

Week 6

Weigh

I Corinthians 10:13, 31; Philippians 4:6-9; Galatians 3:1-3

New priorities!  Food is just simply not a priority in the presence of G-d.  We can fill and sustain our spirit on the Bread of Life, rather gorge our flesh on garbage . . . especially in times of trials or celebrations . . .  Gorging on garbage doesn't even sound like a viable option, does it?

Week 5

Weigh

Call it what it is and confess it.  We need G-d's help to overcome this.  Rationalization is not repentance.
Proverbs 23:21; Titus 1:10-16

We must align ourselves and our attitude with what The Word says, not continue to do what we define as right, allowable, or acceptable.  Our self-determination and trendy methods got us to this undesirable and unhealthy point!

Romans 13:14; Philippians 3:19-21

This was my toughest week, so I needed and YHWH supplied more Scriptures.

Week 4

Weigh

Scriptures to read before the meals.  Read one before each meal or read them all every time, but the point is to fill our spirit before filling our body.

Romans 12:1-2, Philippians 4:13, I Corinthians 6:19-20

Diet is really a matter between you and G-d.  Don't allow it to continue to come BETWEEN you and G-d.  Address areas of difficulty for lifestyle changes.

Week 3

Weigh

Really give G-d control.  Submission in the area of food.

Mealtime Scriptures:  II Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2: 20,21; I corinthians 9:27

Our spiritual health is reflected in our physical health.  Beyond just asking our Creator to bless your meal, ask Messiah if He would eat what's on your plate, then remind yourself of Galatians 2:20.  Messiah's now the one living in your body . . .

Week 2

Weigh.

Assess our habits and let G-d get us organized

I Corinthians 6:12-13; 10:23.  I recommend reading the Scriptures at meal time.

Dairy can be exchanged with protein or fat.

5 servings of vegetables, 4 servings of grains, 3 servings of protein, 2 servings of dairy,
3 servings of fruit, 2 servings of fat
Grapes and/or dried fruit can now be added as a fruit serving, according to calorie and portion control.
**Grapes are among the highest calorie fruit.
* A serving of protein is lean meat about the size of a deck of cards.

Continue drinking 64 oz. of Water

Balanced Diet

Week 1

Don't procrastinate, don't set a specific date.  This change of diet doesn't have to begin on a Sunday or Monday or first of the month, it can begin right now!

This information is valuable, for body, mind, and spirit.  Everyone who has participated in this has lost 14-21 pounds in the 7 week program, and for those who continued in diligence, continued to achieve further weight loss and greater energy.

In this program, weigh only weekly.  Once a week is all!  Measurements are optional . . .

Begin every morning with Psalm 141:3

At some point of each day of this first week, read Daniel 1:12-15 and Matthew 6:33

For the first three days, vegetables and 64 oz. of water.  Beverages that are derived from plants are included, but no sugar or artificial sweeteners.  Black coffee, unsweetened teas, and herbal beverages are acceptable, but they are not included in the 64 oz. of water.  NO soda pop!

I recommend the Vegetable Stew in this week's section of Delectably Kosher.  Three days worth can be made at once and stays good in the refrigerator and is ready at a moments notice.  I also suggest this, because it takes food and preparation out of the main focus for the first few days.  Even with the soup, all "unstarchy" vegetables are allowed with no portion limits, but no toppings other than spices, salt and pepper.



First three days, no meat, cheese, or dairy.  Men who have physical labor jobs may need to add 1 portion of lean meat.

Day 4:  Add baked yam with 1 Tablespoon butter (1 Fat)

Day 5:  Add 1 fruit (rec: banana)  NO grapes or dried fruit at this time

Day 6:  Add 1 more fruit, 1 starchy vegetable (potato or corn)  and CHOICE of 1 fat or 1 meat.

Day 7:  Add 1 Protein and 2 Grains

By the end of first week:
5 servings of vegetables, 2 servings of fruit, 2 grains, 2 protein, 2 fats

Balanced Diet

*  Remember:  starchy vegetables are counted as grains - i.e. 1 medium potato = bread serving
    Once you have completed the 7 week program;  free snacks will always include celery, cucumbers, lettuce, radishes, and kale.
