Body by God
Is the answer to your health concerns from the divine?
BACKGROUND
Sometimes it seems the answer has been right in front of you all along. Dr. Ben Lerner, a chiropractor, offers a plan that he calls the "undiet." Simply put... cutout the man-made foods and start enjoying the natural God-made foods. With natural foods, you don't have to worry about unhealthy fat, additives and chemicals being absorbed by your body.
Body By God outlines a five-part approach that will leave you 40 percent better after the 40 day plan. These include the Nutrition, Exercise, Peace Management, Time Management and The 40-Day Plan.
FOOD & RECIPES
Body By God is a natural solution for meeting your weight loss goal. The plan even comes with a list of commandments dedicated followers should abide by:
- No processed carbs, like pasta and bread, especially after lunch
- Replace carbs between lunch and dinner with green veggies
- No soda, tea or coffee. Replace these with plenty of water and vegetable juice.
The Fat Utilization Rate (F.U.R.), suggested by Dr. Lerner, means you can get away with 15 minutes of exercise each day. Just make sure you do it.
EXERCISE
Encourages at least three 30 minute exercise segments a week. The author stresses the need to schedule it.
EXPENSE
Cost of the book, Body by God: The Owners Manual for Maximized Living.
PRO
- Includes exercise recommendations.
- Includes a stress management component.
CON
- Even though avoiding manmade foods, to say you should never have coffee or a diet soda is unreasonably restrictive.
CONCLUSION
The 40 day reference is almost surely a play on the references to “40 days and 40 nights” in the Bible. It’s a little gimmicky, and maybe even in slightly bad taste. But if you can get past that and not being so hung up on it not including certain things that are also natural, and presumably “by God”, the general principles of avoiding manmade foods has merit.
