I have been on the diet for almost 3 mo. I am taking the barley green, fiberblend also the oil. I am now down to 100 lbs. I was taking the oil weekly and now I am kicking it up to Tablespoon a day. I have MS, my doctor does not 100% approve of this diet. I am off of all medication except one for leg cramps. The doctor warned me of watching for to much weight loss. What can yu tell me to do, the diet has helped my physical condition so much, I can't bear to think of going back to before. Linda L | ||

A number of folks have found that adding some (or more) cooked food to the Hallelujah Diet will help them to gain weight. Whole grain (minimally processed) breads & pasta, brown rice, baked potatoe, cooked veggies. When raising pigs a diet of raw potatoes will not produce weight gain regardless of how much they eat. Cook those same potatoes and the pigs will gain plenty of weight. Cooked food also seems to slow the bodies healing process so balance is the key. | ||

Hello Amber! My name is Monica Brown and I started the Hallelujah Diet (modified a little because I didn't own a juicer at first) when my baby was 11 months old. I am still nursing him and the diet is going fantastic. I have definitely experienced detoxification and I believe the baby has, as well. We both coughed up a lot of mucous. I coughed mucous for about six weeks. Ugh! I have never coughed up mucous until the detox. ( : I'm glad to be rid of all of that! I'm still seeing changes in my weight and my skin. My energy level has been almost boundless in the last three weeks. Yes! I highly recommend making the diet change while breastfeeding. Just make sure you keep plenty of fluids going. ( : I think you will find the quality of food that you will be eating on the diet to be superior to traditional foods. You will most likely experience periods of detoxifying, so if you can, rest and remember to eat a little extra if you feel your milk supply needs a boost. I like to keep bananas on hand for the extra boost. I love smoothies and will occasionally end my day with one. . .I do this even if I don't feel especially hungry because I want to guard against having a low milk supply. ( : I posted some information below that may be useful to you. Feel free to send me an email. I am glad to help! Happy, healthy eating! Monica Hallelujah Acres Program for Babies and Children by Rhonda Malkmus Birth Through 24 Months Mother's breast milk is God's plan for nourishing infants and is always preferred. It should be the primary source of nourishment for the child for at least 18 to 24 months. Human breast milk contains all the nutrients a baby needs including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hormones, enzymes, essential fatty acids, carbohydrates and immune system factors. Expressed milk can be refrigerated up to 24 hours. If breastfeeding is not an option, raw goat's milk is an acceptable substitute. Goat's milk is similar to human breast milk in composition. However, goat's milk should be diluted 50-50 with distilled water as the protein content is slightly higher than that in mother's milk. Goat's milk keeps about four days in the refrigerator. If neither of the above are available, well-strained raw almond milk, diluted Barleygreen and/or well strained, diluted carrot juice may be used. Birth until the Front Teeth Begin to Appear As early as one or two months, raw, freshly-extracted carrot juice, diluted with one part carrot juice to 3 parts distilled water can be introduced in small quantities (1/4 tsp.) at first, and then slowly increased. Juices need to be well-strained through a very fine stainless steel strainer. By age 6 months, serving amount can be increased to as much as 4 ounces. Barleygreen (1/4 tsp) diluted in distilled water, can also be introduced, along with the carrot juice. As the child grows and develops, the amount of Barleygreen can gradually be increased. If the child develops loose stools, the juices may be too strong and should be diluted with more distilled water. For best assimilation, schedule the juices at least 30 minutes before breastfeeding or two hours after. Remember mother's milk is still the primary food and it is important to note that if large volumes of juices are given, the child may not wish to nurse as often, which will eventually decrease mother's milk supply and short-change the child's nutritional intake. Cow's milk and soy products are not recommended. Babies cannot digest them and often develop allergic reactions. After Front Teeth Begin To Appear Breast feeding, carrot juice and Barleygreen should still be the main sources of food! Children are, however, born with God-given instincts and they will let you know when it is time to add some solid foods. If a child is not satisfied with breast milk alone, if the baby cries after feeding for no apparent reason, or if the child begins to chew on mother's breast, it is a signal that fresh (organic when possible) ripe fruit, can now be added. It is important to remember, however, that solid foods introduced too early will decrease the babies desire to nurse. When introducing babies to solid food, it is vitally important to teach them to take small bites and chew (masticate) their food well. As a child begins to chew, fresh fruit helps develop brain and neurological systems. Offer small (1/4 tsp.) portions once a day of raw apple sauce. Or you may mash freshly prepared, very ripe bananas. Mashed peaches, pears, papaya and avocados are also excellent choices. It is important to remember that when introducing a baby to one of these fruits, only one kind should be introduced at a time. No other new food should then be introduced for at least a week to allow the child's system a chance to adapt. These fruits can be grated or pureed in your Champion or Green Power juicer. Over a period of months, work up to as much as 40 percent raw fruits. Mother's milk should continue to be the largest percentage of nutritional intake. Note: When a child is cutting teeth, dry whole grain toast may be given for them to "chew" on. Never leave children unattended while food is within reach, as they may eat too big of a bite and choke. When Molars Appear Mother's milk is still the primary source of nutrition. As the molars start coming in, vegetables may be slowly introduced in a pureed form to the baby's diet. A blended salad may be made in a blender, Green Power or Champion Juicer with avocado, a small amount of fresh carrot juice or distilled water, fresh greens, and a small amount of fresh, organic apple may be added for sweetness. To add variety, different greens and vegetables may be used, which will provide additional essential nutrients necessary for healthy babies. Finger foods should continue to be soft, such as very ripe peeled fruit or soaked dehydrated fruit cut into a bite-sized piece (one piece is usually sufficient). Organic raisins, dates and figs are very high in sugar, which promotes tooth decay; therefore, use sparingly until a child is old enough to brush and floss their teeth with a little help! Acid fruits such as tomatoes, oranges, grapefruit and other citrus and berries should not be given to children for at least the first 12 to 14 months, and then only sparingly. Large amounts of citrus fruits can actually eat into the enamel that coats their teeth. When All Teeth Are In After all the teeth are in, you can slowly start weaning the child from breast milk; however, it is important to continue carrot juice and Barleygreen. Now that all their teeth are in, cooked foods can slowly be introduced into the child's diet. However, we never want to reach a higher percentage of cooked food vs. raw food in their diet then 25 percent. When a child is being weaned, add new semi-solid foods to the diet. Start with small portions at no more than one meal per day. Add one new food at a time with no other new food being introduced for at least one week. Pureed vegetables at first, later blended or those processed in a food processor, can be used for a more coarse consistency. Serve food at room or warm temperatures never hot or cold. As the child is able to handle new foods, vegetables like sweet potatoes, squash and beets can be added, as well as grains like brown rice, millet, quinoa, barley and oatmeal. Baby foods should never be seasoned with salt, spices, sugar, oil or butter. The cooked portion should never exceed 25 percent of the daily diet. Uncooked grain cereals made in a blender or food processor can be slowly introduced into the diet. To prepare, grind grain in a blender, coffee mill or Vita Mix, place raw cereal in a bowl, add enough distilled water to cover and allow to soak overnight. The next morning, place the raw cereal in a bowl, adding nut or banana milk, distilled water or fruit juice to thin, if necessary, and serve at room temperature. Additional nut milk, banana milk or fruit juice may be added when serving. If a child does not accept a new food, don't force it. Simply wait a few weeks and try it again. Stomach pain after eating indicates the food was not properly chewed or the digestive system is not yet ready to handle this new food. If you notice that food is passing through the system whole, go back to pureeing the baby's food for a few weeks and then try again. Remember, it takes time for a baby's digestive system to develop. Hint: To prevent accidental choking, children should also be taught never to run or play with food in their mouth. After the Age of Weaning A child can be given a modified Hallelujah Diet three meals per day, if required. Gradually include whole grain cereals and breads, almond butter, legumes and whole grain pastas. Food may still need to be cut into small pieces to make the child's transition to whole foods easier. If snacks are given, they should be natural foods (eg. apples, pears, grapes, celery and carrot sticks, etc.) and should contain no added sugar. If the child is not given "junk food," there will be no need to worry about "spoiling a child's appetite." After the age of weaning, a child's diet should include the following: Barleygreen: As the child continues to grow, the vital nutrients found in Barelygreen are essential. Freshly extracted carrot juice: At least two or three servings per day. As the child grows, slowly increase the amount to four to six ounces per serving. Vegetables: Three or more servings a day. At least one of the servings should be raw, dark green, leafy vegetables. Note: Spinach, New Zealand Spinach, Swiss chard, collard greens, beet greens, mustard greens and kale should always be served raw. When cooked, the oxalic acid contained in them is converted to a harmful form that causes the body to lose calcium and can also cause inorganic oxalic acid crystals to form in the kidneys, according to Dr. N.W. Walker. Also, beets are cleansers and should be used sparingly during early childhood. Fruits: Two to four pieces of raw fruit per day. Dehydrated fruits (not preserved with sulphur), preferably soaked in distilled water, may be used sparingly. Select one of the following groups: Legumes, whole grains and starches or nuts and seeds, and provide one or two servings per day. Legumes (anything that grows in a pod): Serving size should be no more than four ounces. Whole Grains and Starches: This category includes whole grain breads and whole grain cereals, except wheat. Serving size should be no more than four ounces. Nuts and seeds: Almonds and sunflower seeds are most preferred. Other nuts and seeds should be used sparingly. Serving size should be no more than one ounce. Only serve water with meals. Fruit, vegetable and green drinks can be given between meals. All juices should be freshly-extracted so all nutrients will be alive. All juices found in containers in your supermarket have been pasteurized (enzymes destroyed) so they will have a long shelf life. Foods to Be Avoided All animal products (flesh foods, dairy products, eggs), white flour, salt, refined sugars, artificial sweeteners and coloring agents, heated oils, cashews and all nuts except almonds. Wheat products should be used sparingly as they are acid-forming and leave an acid rather than the desired alkaline ash. | ||

Hello to everyone on the Halelujah diet. My friend Margie (THE GREATEST FRIEND IVE EVER KNOWN) introduced me to the hd about 6 months ago. Ihad my doubts at first but now i am confused. I dont know whats wrong with me , but i think its something very bad. When i was 13 i had a breeze stroke. i was incapable of eating whole foods because my left side of the tongue was numb , along with the rest of my whole left side of my body even my eye couldnt close. Since then i grew up deformed on my breasts. my right breast is a little bit more larger than the other. I will not go to a doctor for the fact that i dont believe doctors know anything much than your sick and youll eventually die or something or the other. Since I got married i have only been suffering with a sad marriage. My husband does not care about me. I have only been married for 9 1/2 years. And its only been stress all the way.I dont know if i may have breast cancer. I pray that i dont . I have three children and i dont want to leave them at a young age. If anyone can help me with tips on how to eat and stick with this diet please do. i will forever be grateful. i have been juicing carrots and drinking the barleygreen. could there be something else that i can do that will help me? I am very new at this and i keep sliding downhill for regular foods please someone help me. | ||

hello everyone! I'm considering starting the hallelujah diet. i htink God has realy put it on my heart. I know someone who has been healed of breat cancer from this diet. The question that i have is, If I buy the garden trio how long does that last? Would i have to buy it every month? Or would anyone reccomend me just getting a juicer instead of buying the powder? | ||

Hi Ashley, the length of time that the Garden Trio (BarleyLife, Just Carrots and Redibeets) will last is, of course, dependent on how much is used. There are about 120 teaspoons (40 tablespoons) in both the the 8.81oz BarleyLife and 14.1oz Just Carrots, and about 60 teaspoons in the 8.8oz Redibeets. Using a rounded tsp of the BarleyLife and Just carrots and 1 tsp of the Redibeets per day the Trio would last two months. With a rounded teaspoon of the BarleyLife and Just Carrots twice a day along with 1 teaspoon of the Redibeets each time one Garden Trio would last about a month. Some use the trio first thing in the morning and just the BarleyLife again before lunch and dinner. If I were personally dealing with a serious disorder I would do as much as 8 tbls BarleyLife and Just Carrots per day and 3 teaspoons of the Redibeets. Or 8 tbls of the BarleyLife and juice enough carrots for 6-8 glasses per day adding a slice or two of beet. Juicing carrots takes about a pound of carrots to make one cup of juice. Carrot prices can vary especially for organic carrots. Most new juicer machines are used between 2 and 6 months before the owner sets it on a shelf for later use. It takes 25-45 minutes to juice 5 pounds of carrots and clean the machine depending on the machine and how fast you are. If you can maintain the schedule then juice the carrots and use the BarleyLife daily. If you know that you won't keep up the juicing schedule then use the full Garden Trio. :o) | ||

I have had high blood sugar levels for about 30 years. I am now taking Metformin to assit in insulin release, also Lipitor and medication for high blood pressure. My concern is the high glycemic of carrot juice. I have a juicer, but will the carrot juice make my blood sugar go up drastically if my insulin level is not able to control it? Thank you. |
