Raw food and Christianity are staples of the Hallelujah Diet
It seems everyone these days come up with new premises for a 'diet'. Here's another one to add to the list: The Hallelujah Diet. The diet consists of strictly plant-based raw food -- that and a lot of praying -- all in an attempt to take dieters back to the heyday of when man (and woman) first lived in the Garden of Eden. No word on whether apples are forbidden.Ok, I shouldn't joke -- the people following this way of life are completely serious, and have embarked on the journey to help with a multitude of health problems, including MS, cancer and obesity. The lac of meat is made up for in vegetable proteins and vitamins. Vegan diets, as we know, have been shown to have amazing health benefits, with or without prayer. I'm not religious but I say kudos to the diets followers for taking their health seriously enough to embark on a path of both physical and spiritual wellness.

Vegan diets are also found to be insanely unhealthy in the long run. Something about humans being omnivores....but i guess thats just to scientific. Plus, Besides soy and maybe quinoia, there are no complete vegitable protiens and soy has been linked with a number of ailments in the recent past. Just an FYI

The previous poster does not know. I have been vegan ish (99% vegan) for about 21 years. It is NOT hard to get your protein, you do not waste away, I have lots of muscle and doing well. I have just turned 40, dance 5.50 hours a week with 20 year olds, walk my dogs twice a day and generally look and act much younger than my peers.
Oh, I had toe surgery and the doctor had to saw thru a bone. He said to me twice "My God, your bones are so hard"! He said many of his clients have porous bones. I don't eat ANY dairy. I get my calcium from vegetable sources. No osteoporosis here.
As long as you eat enough building vegetable foods...potatos, beans, tofu, nuts, whole grains you are fine. And no, I do not rely on soy...I can do fine with or without it.
