You’ve heard the short his­to­ry of the Jew­ish peo­ple: They tried to kill us, we won, let’s eat. This light­heart­ed sum­ma­tion should end: let’s eat – – with holi­ness. Jew­ish pre­oc­cu­pa­tion with food is not an acci­dent. Our spir­i­tu­al jour­ney begins with an act of ​“unholy” eat­ing by Adam and Eve and ends with Moses chastis­ing Israel for its excess appetite:

​“Then Yeshu­run [Israel] became fat and kicked— When­ev­er you became fat, you became obese and Over­whelmed by fat…” (Deuteron­o­my 32:15).

Every­one knows that God had some­thing to say about what we eat, but the Bible also instructs us about how to eat – – and specif­i­cal­ly that God wants us to be trim! All this occur­ring mil­len­nia before fast foods and the obe­si­ty epi­dem­ic! As a prac­tic­ing ther­a­pist, I dis­cov­ered that psy­chol­o­gy lacks a suc­cess­ful weight loss pro­gram, but Jew­ish sources con­tain the secret for­mu­la for last­ing weight change. Not anoth­er diet, Holy Eat­ing instead presents a per­son­al trans­for­ma­tion pro­gram that inspires and guides you on a dra­mat­ic jour­ney with food that will ele­vate your spir­it while reduc­ing your waist­line. Regard­less of one’s lev­el of reli­gious obser­vance, dis­cov­er­ing the secrets of Holy Eat­ing is the begin­ning of the spir­i­tu­al quest for life­long weight trans­for­ma­tion.
