Maker's Diet Excerpt: Here's an excerpt from the Maker's Diet regarding the religious implications:

Summary of the Maker's Diet Jordan Rubin says the kosher laws are still morally binding, no more outdated and legalistic than the 10 Commandments

By Jordan S. Rubin

1. The foods approved by God as recorded in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 superceded “the Genesis Diet” found in the first chapter of the Bible. God declared, “These are the animals which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth” (Lev. 11:2). Abraham, Moses, Jacob, and Jesus ate biblically clean meats. We aren’t in the Garden of Eden, so we all need animal protein. The Bible is specific as to the type: a. The meat of animals with a cloven or split hoof that also chew the cud (Lev. 11:3) can be eaten. This includes cows, goats, sheep, oxen, deer, buffalo, and so forth. b. Avoid animals, such as the camel, that chew the cud but do not have cloven or split hooves (Lev. 11:4). This includes, but is not limited to, horses, rats, skunks, dogs, cats, squirrels, and possums. c. Do not eat swine (pigs). They have divided hooves, but they do not chew the cud. These are unclean animals (Lev. 11:7–8). In fact, pigs are so unclean that God warns us not to even touch the body, meat, or carcass of a pig. The Hebrew words used to describe “unclean meats” can be translated as “foul, polluted, and putrid.”* The same terms were used to describe “human waste” and other disgusting substances.

2. Eat any fish with fins and scales but avoid fish or water creatures without them (Lev. 11:9–10). Those to avoid include smooth-skinned species such as catfish or eel and hard-shelled crustaceans such as crab, lobster, or clams.

3. Birds that live primarily on insects, grubs, or grains are considered clean, but avoid birds or fowl that eat flesh (whether caught live or carrion). They are unclean. (See the extensive list in Leviticus 11:13–19.)

Foreword

Dr. Jordan Rubin is on a mission from God to change the health of this nation. When I was first presented with the manuscript for this book, I couldn't put it down. I had been praying for over a year that God would show me a health plan that was based on the Bible and proven by science. The Maker's Diet is just that.

Jordan's journey from sickness to health is a true testament to the handiwork of a loving and compassionate God. God took Jordan through the valley, delivered him and positioned him to affect the lives of millions. His one and only focus is to help deliver people from the bondage of sickness and disease.

Our nation's health is at an all time low. I am constantly asked to pray for people who are suffering terribly from cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and so many other diseases. People that I love have lost their lives and many productive years to debilitating illnesses. Could they have been spared had they followed the principles of The Maker's Diet?

I have personally been following The Maker's Diet and have noticed an immediate improvement in my own health. I have never felt better in my life. To my surprise, the food is absolutely wonderful. In fact, Jordan, his wife Nicki and I have enjoyed some of the most delicious and healthy meals I have ever eaten. I believe that making my health a priority will allow me to fulfill my mission to preach the gospel to all the ends of the earth.

One thing that separates The Maker's Diet from all the other health programs I've read about and tried is its truly holistic approach to health. The Maker's Diet incorporates the four pillars of health which are physical, spiritual, mental and emotional. The physical health plan incorporates diet and nutrition, exercise, hygiene and body therapies and the importance of living in a healthy environment. The message of spiritual health is very clear. Each of us needs to find purpose in our life. We were all created for a reason. We were created to accomplish great things. Our connection with the Creator and His supreme purpose for our lives makes every day worth living. Our mental health is vitally important. The ability to control our thought life and focus on the tasks at hand can shape who we are. After all, you are what you think. Our emotional health and stability is interrelated with each of the other three pillars. We all encounter stress on a daily basis. Our circumstances are not always ideal. Stress and circumstances do not determine who we are. Our ability to handle adversity defines us. The health principals outlined in The Maker's Diet can provide you with the framework to achieve health physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.

The Maker's Diet by Dr. Jordan Rubin has made a significant difference in my life. I urge each and every one of you to pay close attention to the principles outlined in this book and share them with the ones you love.

My God bless you and your family with incredible health.
