The Hallelujah Diet, also known as The Hallelujah Diet an Lifestyle, is one of the more popular biblically-based diets. It was developed by Rev. George Malkmus, Lit. D. in the 1970s from a dietary regemin he was taught by fellow pastor Lester Roloff based on a strict, all-natural diet that originated from the Bible in Genesis Chapter 1, Verse 29. The diet in its current form focuses on health and nutrition from a biblical standpoint. It follows vegan principles and consists of living (raw) foods, juices, and distilled remineralized water. A daily ratio of 85% raw and 15% cooked foods is followed. The lifestyle associated with the diet promotes exercise, proper cleansing, adequate rest, spiritual well-being, sufficient amounts of sunshine, and the elimination of stress.
