The Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle®, once understood, is very simple. We follow a ration of 85% raw and 15% cooked food each day, with the cooked food usually coming only at the end of the evening meal.
The 85% Portion
This is an abundance of God's natural foods, uncooked (raw), and unprocessed. The dense living nutrients found in raw foods and their juices are what meet and satisfy our cells' nutritional needs, so that a person no longer needs to struggle with uncontrollable hunger. These live foods are also what produce abundant energy and vibrant health. The following are items from each category that fit into the 85% portion of each day's food intake:
Beverages: Freshly extracted vegetable juices, BarleyMax®, CarrotJuiceMax™, BeetMax, and distilled water
Dairy Alternatives: Fresh almond milk, creamy banana milk, as well as frozen banana, strawberry, or blueberry "fruit creams"
Fruit: All fresh, as well as unfulphured organic dried fruit (Limit fruit to no more than 15% of daily food intake.)
Grains: Soaked oats, raw muesli, dehydrated granola, dehydrated crackers
Beans: Green beans, peas, sprouted garbanzos, sprouted lentils, and sprouted mung
Nuts and Seeds: Raw almonds, sunflower seeds, macadamia nuts, walnuts, raw almond butter or tahini, and raw ground flaxseed (Consume sparingly.)
Oils and Fats: Extra virgin olive oil, Udo's Choice Perfected Oil Blend, flaxseed oil (The oil of choice for people with cancer, except men with prostate cancer, who may be better served meeting the essential fat needs through freshly ground flaxseed), and avocados
Seasonings: Fresh or dehydrated herbs, garlic, sweet onions, parsley, and salt-free seasonings
Soups: Raw soups
Sweets: Fruit smoothies, raw fruit pies with nut/date crusts, date-nut square, etc.
Vegetables: All raw vegetables
The 15% Portion
The following foods make up the 15% portion of The Hallelujah Diet®. These cooked foods follow the raw salad at the evening meal. This cooked food portion can be very delicious, and actually proves beneficial for those trying to maintain body weight.
Beverages: Caffeine-free herb teas and cereal-based coffee-like beverages, along with bottled organic juices
Beans: Lima, adzuki, black, kidney, navy, pinto, red, and white
Dairy: Non-dairy cheese, rice milk, and organic butter (use sparingly.)
Fruit: Stewed and unsweetened frozen fruits
Grains: Whole-grain cereals, breads, muffins, pasta, brown rice, millet, etc.
Oils: Mayonnaise made from cold-pressed oils
Seasonings: Same as the 85% portion plus unrefined sea salt (use sparingly.)
Soups: Soups made from scratch without fat, dairy, or table salt
Sweeteners: Raw, unfiltered honey, rice syrup, unsulphured molasses, stevia, carob, pure maple syrup, date sugar (Use very sparingly.)
Vegetables: Steamed or wok-cooked fresh or frozen vegetables, baked white or sweet potatoes, squash, etc. While this list at first appears limiting, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of exciting recipes that meet these criteria.
