FAQs 4 Supplements Everyone Needs In addition to whole food concentrates like BarleyMax, there are a few supplements that will fill in dietary gaps regardless of what type of diet you follow: 1. Vitamin B12 Essential for brain function, homocysteine metabolism, and energy production. Available in Hallelujah Diet’s B12-B6-Folate supplement. 2. Vitamin D Your vitamin D level is just as important as your cholesterol levels. If everyone in the USA was to take just 2,000 IU of vitamin D every day (available in Hallelujah Diet’s B-Flax-D supplement), the rates of heart disease, strokes, colon, breast, and prostate cancer would plummet. 3. Iodine Iodine supports almost every gland. It balances estrogen levels, stabilizes heart rhythms, improves glucose metabolism, and is essential for the development of the central nervous system. Hallelujah Diet offers two brands of nascent iodine, Iosol and Iodoral. 4. Fish Oil The human health benefits of the fats in a clean, toxin-free fish oil are known to support greater mental acuity, reduce chronic inflammation, improve cardiovascular function, and squelch autoimmune diseases. Hallelujah Diet offers Pharmax Finest Pure Fish Oil, which is toxin-free and flavored with orange oil. GET YOURS TODAY! 800.915.9355 shopping.myhdiet.com Q & A Changing your diet is significant! It’s only natural to have a lot of questions about it. Here are some of the most common ones related to The Hallelujah Diet. Do I only drink carrot juice? Carrot juice is very nutritious and makes a sweet base for freshly extracted vegetable juice. Ideally, in addition to carrots, you should include the juice of dark leafy greens and other vegetables and roots at your discretion. Can diabetics drink the carrot juice? In a carrot juice study conducted by Hallelujah Diet, people had more trouble with keeping blood sugar down after eating bread than they did with the large serving of carrot juice. To offset the natural sugar content in carrot juice, mix 50/50 with the juice from dark, leafy greens, as noted in the previous question or 50/50 water or 1 Tbsp of Udo’s Oil™. Can people with Crohn’s disease do this diet? We have received many testimonies from people with Crohn’s who found relief through a gradual transitional approach to The Hallelujah Diet. Too many raw foods can cause problems, but these people began juicing and using BarleyMax and eating primarily cooked vegetables while the colon healed. They were able to add raw foods gradually over several weeks. Do I need to take a multivitamin? Overall we should get most of our nutrients from our foods. Using fresh vegetable juices, green smoothies, and whole food concentrates like BarleyMax will help maximize the availability and utilization of nutrients. However, some people elect to use a whole food-sourced, multi-vitamin/mineral supplement as extra insurance. Isn’t this diet expensive? The Hallelujah Diet only becomes expensive when someone tries to retain their old habits while trying to afford healthy alternatives at the same time. When you replace meat, eggs, dairy, sugar, frozen dinners, and other health-deteriorating foods with veggies, fruit, nuts, seeds, and other healthy alternatives, your grocery costs will remain about the same. Not to mention that living The Hallelujah Diet means you’ll spend less on doctor visits, drug costs, unpaid sick days at work, and maybe even get a lower rate on your health insurance. Can I juice my own wheatgrass instead of drinking BarleyMax? Nutrition from grasses largely depends on the health of the plant’s root system. Home-grown wheatgrass only has a few inches of soil to grow in. As such, it doesn’t deliver the same amount of nutrition as field-grown grass. Not to mention that home-grown wheatgrass has an undesirable sugar content. The barleygrass grown for BarleyMax is grown in a mineral-rich volcanic lakebed. It grows much slower and draws a much greater mineral content from the soil. As a result, BarleyMax is more nutritious than home-grown wheatgrass.
