This weight loss diet puts a biblical spin on dropping the pounds. The Maker's Diet is a holistic diet that encompasses spiritual, mental, physical and emotional health. Using his own amazing recovery as proof, Rubin attempts to illustrate how this weight loss diet can help you lose weight and improve your health dramatically.
This holistic 40-day plan is divided into several different phases. Once you complete all the phases, you can begin to follow the maintenance program. Each phase follows God's dietary laws, as listed in the Bible. For example, " Eat any fish with fins and scales but avoid fish or water creatures without them." (Lev. 11:9-10). Rubin attempts to persuade dieters to eat fresh and natural foods, as opposed to processed foods and fast foods. However, this weight loss diet also includes a ton of additional supplements and specialty food items that might be expensive difficult to find.
This is an intriguing diet, solid in the foundation that it educates the reader about the importance of eating natural and unprocessed food. However, the focus on spiritual wellbeing and religion is what makes this diet a bit questionable. If you want to fast and pray, that's fine. But is religion really something that should be converted into a marketing ploy?
