The Maker’s Diet - A Combination of Health and Faith

kt_333: the great thing about this diet (maker’s) is that you get yourself off of all those processed foods. so many chemicals and sugars and crap are in those foods that our culture has come to depend on, it’s gross! i feel a whole lot better eating more whole grains and fresh foods and it isn’t as hard as i though it might be to eat this way.

E.Finley: Been thinking about getting a pedometer to keep track of my steps, wondering how well they work and what brand might be best, thanks.

jean: Speaking of religion i have always wondered: does communion bread have carbs? If so how many? They are such slim wafers i can’t imagine it is much, but you never know.

H.Paul: just don’t have time to cook or exercise think this type of program is way too much work for me. i just want to keep things simple.

Suzette: It was really nice to get rid of all of the processed foods from my cupboards. The Maker’s Diet has taught me that eating pure whole foods is the only way to stay healthy. And if you’re healthy, you will be naturally trim. THat’s just the way it works. SOmeone had mentioned something about keeping it simple….well to me, this is simple. It’s the most simple thing ever: eat healthily, you will reach a healthy weight.

Michaela: His story really is pretty amazing, even though I normally shy away from anything that mentions any type of religion. The Maker’s Diet is a healthy plan, one that anyone can benefit from, no matter what you believe. If you believe in your health, i think it works. Love it.

Tessa: WHat i really like about the Maker’s Diet is that everything is pure and natural, the way it’s supposed to be. I am not an especially religious person, but I i DO value fresh, natural foods that are good for me. It just makes sense. I am actually trying the diet right now and it’s not as hard as i thought it would be.

Lauryn: Thumbs up, this book makes a lot of sense. Not sure when I will try the diet but It’s definitely a possibility.

Geraldine: Well i don’t think there is any shame in acknowledging that you believe in God, I can proudly say that i do/ You really can’t argue with eating top quality food that has not been processed and loaded with unhealthy chemicals. I have been feeling pretty good since doing the diet. d

Doris: I was a little skeptical at first, I just don’t like to be preached to. But, I actually must say it not like they’re trying to get you to go to church or anything. It’s more about going to back to the Earth, the source of all our food before we got into mass production and factories. Before our country got fat. Really makes a lot of sense to me.

Peggy: I really like all of the recipes that are available in the Maker’s Diet…there are literally hundreds. It’s cool that you don’t have to compromise your passion for cooking!

Bonnie: The Maker’s Diet not only teaches you good nutritional habits, but it also fosters a positive, life-affirming attitude, which is what I read saved Jordan Rubin’s life. I believe that positive thinking has a very powerful effect and that we can change our lives and our health by embracing a positive attitude. I have maintained my diet from the Maker’s diet, and I feel that I will continue to do so.

jeri: not sure religion and diets should be sold together?

Seth: Looking at the Makers diet was inspirational I must say. Thumb up.

Blaine: Well I had some mixed feelings about the Maker’s Diet when I first heard about it but likewise I think now after having read it that it just encourage people to adopt healthy lifestyle and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that idea as far as i am concern.

Audrey: I initially was wary of the “religious” angle of the Maker’s Diet, but I quickly realized that all it really meant was to eat the way nature (or God or whoever you like) intended. Like taking stuff in their purest forms from the earth, that’s all.

Heather: This is a very nice diet book bcs there is so much guidance & recipes and structure. I need that. The Maker’s diet has given me the tools i need to lose the weight whenever I am ready to diet, I know what i need to do.

Anonymous: Lots of information on Mr. Rubin and his products can be found here: http://www.makersdiet.com/offer

Bailey: Whatever you do, I’ve heard don’t do the Wu-Yi SOurce. I guess just sicking to the recipes in the book sounds like it would be good enough.

Monica: Which ones better for a fat burner SLIM10 or Nuphedrine?

Charlotte: I like the Shopping list you get with the Maker’s Diet bcs it stops me from buying bad stuff. Alot of the times i go to the grocery store after work & i am hungry. Its good to have a list to keep me on track.

Laura: It was hard giveing up process food at first but after a while i started getting a taste for the good stuff. It’s fascinating how thing I used to crave are not a must have right now.

naomi: i think the Makers Diet is the way God wants us to eat. Even if your not religious its better to eat natural. I am doing well on this plan and are very grateful i got a chance to read this book. i am going to keep it up.

Mike: The Maker’s Diet has good recipes. I am a terrible cook but i can make these myself so that mostly why I like this plan so far.

Andrea: I thought this diet was going to be hard like going to church or something but it wasn’t. The food taste’s good and they tell you everything you need to do.

Joan: I am currently in the third phase and glad I stuck it out. I did it for health reasons and it definetly cured my strooong cravings for sweets. I can walk by those sweet smelling goodies! I haven’t lost weight, yet, but I can attest I look thinner and better(people comment),probably due to a balancing of insulin, and reduction in inflammation and infection, which I didn’t realize I had until this diet. I feel once my body is done healing and balancing, the weight will come off. I look forward to how much more this diet can do for me and plan on making it a lifetime commitment. I’m thrilled someone actually figured out the answers-information I just never learned, being reared on the SAD. I believe this is God’s diet, he lead me to it.

lynn: Does anyone know where to purchase alpha am cleanse andomega pm cleanse? I am getting ready to get started on the Makers Diet.. I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Biggi: Question: is someone out there with Crohn’s doing the diet, and has found healing?

Tara: Its a bit of a sacrifice in some regards, to follow this diet but I believe the Makers Diet is more about balance than weight loss. I just feel healthier and more in tune with my body’s needs. ITs sad to me how far we;ve strayed in our society, and turned to foods that just arent even natural.

karen: I am on my second week of the Maker’s Diet. A group at our church did it last year and we decided to dedicate ourselves to it again. This diet is not about weight loss but about healthier living. Once you make it pass the first two weeks it gets easier and easier. Before I felt tired when I got home from work everyday. The first week on the diet the tiredness seemed to increase (my body was detoxing) by week two I had a burst of energy the was unbelieveable. If you read his next book it is modified just a little and you do not have to have organic. But with more stores carrying organic brands, the price is coming down. How much is your health worth? This diet was truly worth it to me. I will keep you posted on my progress. But so far, so good!

gayle: Just to be clear, I don’t think the Maker’s Diet pushrd religion on anyone, in fact, I think the name might not quite capture what its all about. This is simply about eating foods that are pure and natural, not ones that are processed and full of preservatives. The recipes are delicious and the meal plan makes sense. Its a nice balance, and the great thing is, healthy foods really are delicious once you get a tatse for them! They’re what our bodies crave. I personally like the that.

mpd: I love this diet, i lost 13 pounds in 5 weeks without exercising yet, I plan to add exercise to my daily routine just I needed to start one thing at a time. Some people have a hard time to buy organic as it’s a little expensive. My point is you do NOT have to buy all organic if you can’t afford it, just wash the fruits and vegetables before using them. The focus is on eathing healthy ( even without organic) and don’t eat proceed foods which are doubled/trippled with conservatives and all kinds of chemicals. I feel better and i don’t crave that much carbs( i loved and was crazy about carbs). Love the program, love the food. – The Makers Diet

dd: Has anyone with eczema tried The Maker’s Diet and noticed much of an improvement in the eczema? Please describe.

dd: Has anyone tried the Blueberry Pecan pancakes. Mine tasted good but were too firm/lumpy. I must have done something wrong. Any suggestions?

Kay McElroy: The perfect Diet Plan! And it makes sense. Who better than God to tell us what’s right for our body–and of course we should consume food in it’s purest form–the way He made it. Thanks so much for telling us about your miracle, Jordan Rubin.

Amy: FANTASTIC BOOK!!! Everyone should read it. – The Makers Diet

Jeff: I followed this diet 4 years ago after being diagnosed with t-cell Lymphoma in the small intestine. It helped me so much and although I actually gained weight using it because it made me healthier. But it’s an ideal way to drop bodyfat while impoving your health and wellness. I’ve been in remission for 3.5 years now.

Gladys: This may accually work I’m looking forward to it

Larry: Doing well- and feeling good too. Impressive how food affect our mood and energy level.

Jenya: The diet is great, but the supplements are way too expensive

Kathryn Olsen: Its been a struggle-and a learning process- to eat this way however – I do feel somehow more balanced and , pure, from the Maker’s diet, than the way I was eating before. I hope i can keep the habit of eating this way.

Jess: My husband and I are in phase 2 of The Maker’s diet. I have a bunch of hormonal imbalances that I am hoping will get balanced. I am already feeling better and more energetic than I was just a few weeks ago. My husband and I have both lost some weight. Strangely enough I hardly had any pain with my last period. I have had pain most of my life and it had gotten to the point of nausea and needing pain medication. I am excited to see how I feel the next time around. I highly recommend The Maker’s diet. It isn’t the easiest thing to do when you are used to eating a certain way…and have 4 young children to care for…but I think it is much harder to care for my children feeling the way I did. Looking forward to the future. Also wondering if anyone has found any help through this diet with their hypothyroidism?

Ebony: Great diet! I changed how I eat because of this book! 6 years and going strong!

venus: I AM HALFWAY THROUGH THE BOOK AND SO FASCINATED BY THE ACCURACY OF THE SCRIPTURES AND HOW RELEVANT IT IS EVEN IN AGES TO COME. I SAW AND CONTINUE TO SEE HOW GOD’S WAYS IS FOREVER PERFECT THEREFORE WE CAN TRUST OUR LIFE IN IT. I’VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH MULTIPLE HEALTH ISSUES MYSELF THAT ALL OF MY DOCTORS SO FAR HAS NO DEFINITE CURE OR ANSWER. I’VE BEEN SEEKING FOR A SURE REMEDY FOR HEALING WHICH I BELIEVE CAN BE FOUND IN THE PAGES OF GOD’S BOOK. IT WAS SLOW AND HARD WORK UNTIL THE MAKER’S DIET SUMMARIZED IT FOR ME. AS I AM STILL FINISHING THE BOOK I AM DETERMINED TO FOLLOW THE MAKER’S DIET STARTING THIS YEAR AND HOPEFUL TO INFLUENCE MY WHOLE FAMILY TO A HEALTHFUL AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

Tracy: Regarding the comment about eczema….I have suffered from eczema since I was born and am now 37 yrs old. It is almost gone now. I had it head to toe with open sores everywhere. I will say that a yeast overload in my body probably caused it (my mother was addicted to sugar before she had me…she finally admitted she drank 2 liters of coke all by herself each and every day on top of multiple cakes and sweets)….I tried the Maker’s Diet a few years ago and couldn’t do it. The sugar cravings were horrendous! I felt like I was dying. But I read and read so much and discovered my liver was probably in overload from all the yeast. So I started taking milk thistle (a natural herb). Within one week my eczema cleared up over 50%….99% gone in 4 weeks. It comes and goes in small patches and I know it is because I was still eating the SAD way (Standard American Diet). So I joined the Weston Price Foundation and am now embarking on the Maker’s Diet again with the help of local farmers providing the necessary raw foods you can’t get in stores. My husband and children are going through this too as we all have serious sugar addiction and yeast problems to various extents. Today is Day 2….so far we are having a lot of symptoms but we are perservering. We know this is a life-long change and there is no going back. My kids cried over never having fast food again, but hopefully in a few weeks they will feel better and understand this all more. For those who may be skeptical of all this raw milk and organic food thing….let me assure you that the F*A and US*A do NOT have your best interests at heart. Only their own financial interests. As an RN with my Bachelor’s degree I have studied health and nutrition to a great extent. What the Maker’s Diet and Weston Price Foundation attest to is more scientifically sound than all the other scietific reports you read about constantly (that are mostly funded by the F*A!). All I can say is we are on a new journey here….and it is a very positive one!!
