Summary: GREAT DIET
Review: AFTER READING ALL THESE PEOPLE'S REVIEWS, I JUST HAD TO WRITE ONE!Yes, in the garden of Eden Man did not eat the flesh of animals, BUT, GOD did create the other animals and humans are NOT in the Garden of Eden anymore!Everyone get over your problems with the Bible! No wonder we were kicked out! This way of eating is the easiest and affordable way of getting healthy, and .......losing weight!God created the animals and we use them for meat, or did we forget that he sent wave after wave of game birds to moses and the jews while they were wandering in the desert for 70 years., they also ate manna, for those who are going to dispute this review. I've read it four times. God sent us meat to eat.............This diet is for people who want an answer to their weight loss problem. It is not a fast solution, but people will eventually reach their goals.

Summary: Clear, Concise and Logical
Review: Dr Dorothy's diet seems logical. I am an avid fan of diets, be it Atkins, other high protein low carbo, cabbage soup diet, fruit juice diet, you name it, I read it.
I must confess that the only diet I tried is the low carbo diet, and these authors stress that fruits must be kept to a minimum. I cannot accept the fact that natural fruits are treated as sins. Then I come across God's Diet, and suddenly everything makes perfect sense. If God didn't make it, don't eat it. Dr. Dorothy's advice is not to eat processed foods.
I do agree with other readers that her allowance for Diet Jello seems to violate her motto, but I'll let that go since it is a teeny part of the book.
All in all, I feel her diet do make sense. Now I am following her diet, trying to cut down my consumption of processed foods. I definitely feel healthier!

Summary: Oh Please!!!
Review: Everything that is on this Earth is edible. Don't drink alcohol or eat pasta? Is this lady crazy? Does she really think Jesus drank grape juice??? God gave us GRAIN to make things like pasta and alcohol! We aren't meant to CHEW its stalk!! I am so tired of these diet fads, and this lady should be ashamed trying to use God to sell her book.

Summary: How disappointing for a "scientist"
Review: Gault-McNemee divides the world into humans, meat and plant life. She writes that: "God made every fruit, every vegetable, and every meat, fish, and fowl." She then reasons from this that humans are to eat all of the foregoing. Into what category would Dr. McNemee put her dog? He/she is obviously not a human so in McNemee's worldview this would put him/her in the category of meat. This book is especially disappointing for having been written by a doctor, as doctors are trained in the scientific method. Dr. McNemee betrays her scientific colleagues by making the false distinction been human beings and the rest of nature. It is a founding axiom of science that the human family is a species. Dr. McNemee acts as though this were not true and that instead other animal species were the only species to be found (though they are best considered "meat"). Obviously, I have strong views on this subject and would have this reaction to any writing with this kind of convoluted reasoning. As a diet book, the exhortation to avoid refined foods is a sound one and would probably lead to some weight loss for those who regularly consume refined foods.

Summary: Right Track
Review: Go back to the first foods given us at creation,which involved NO KILLING, and produced healthy lives in the 900+ year range. Flesh foods were only given after the flood in Noah's day. Look it up, experience it! Today animals are very unhealthy to eat-for our health and theirs- and even their products, dairy and eggs. This book leads in the right direction, if we go all the way!

Summary: needs work
Review: God bless the author-she's trying. But, I disagree with some of the foods that are ok to eat. Living food for Optimum Health by Brian Clement is a better book about "God's Diet". Anyone who wants to be truly healthy should get a copy.

Summary: God didn't make this diet
Review: God didn't give man pigs for food. Pigs are the earth's garbage cans, along with shrimp, lobster, and all kinds of food. God didn't make Jello. Gelatin comes from boiling down pig's hoofs, and is not fit for human consumption, not to mention all the artificial coloring.For those who do eat flesh food, keep it clean. Modern "agriculture" has bastardized perfectly harmless items formerly known as "food". Sometimes this kind of stuff is hard to avoid, and not even 100% practical, but staying away from the obvious garbage is a good step. She bashes wine and bread, and yet in Biblical times that was a perfectly acceptable way to preserve fruit and bread was a common way to serve grains. In the Bible days people were offered loaves of bread as a gesture of friendship. Jesus himself fed thousands of people with barley loaves, and fish. This woman needs to re-write the book totally, after a good browse through the Bible.

Summary: God's Diet Works
Review: God's Diet is the shortest, easiest and most absorbable book I have read on the subject of weight loss. If you need to make a production out of weight loss by counting points, weighing food or combining foods then save your money. This plan is so simple and makes so much sense you will wonder how weight loss ever got to be so complicated.

Summary: Inconsistent, illogical, but hey, fruits and veggies!
Review: Here we go, some more Christian marketing gone gaga. The author supplies readers with a low-carb diet--for those who do well on these fine. She at least lets you eat lots of fruit, provides salad and veggies. Don't eat it, she says, if you can't pull it out of the ground, pluck it from a tree or vine, or kill it. No alcohol cause it's fermented. No bread cause its processed. Well, what tree provides cheddar cheese? What pig comes ready-set with cured bacon? What is natural about those additives in processed meat? Hey, what vine gives Jello? Bacon, jello and cheese--which figure in the book's menus--are all processed food. Ain't cheese fermented??? See the inconsistency....

Summary: THE PROS AND CONS...
Review: Here we have but another diet to contemplate, will it work or will it not? There is much validity in God's Diet, eating what He did put on this Earth - fish, meat fruit, vegetables and grains, they are all natural foods. There is no disputing these are for the most part, considered our first, healthy food choices. However, even our natural food choices, such as fruits and vegetables, are generally sprayed with chemicals, preservatives, pesticides, herbicides and/or other "cides" which, no doubt, contribute to or enhance many of our illnesses today. As for meat, it is beginning to become as expensive as gold, and what about, "Mad Cow Disease," "Genetic Modification" and all that good stuff? Drinking eight to ten glasses of water a day, avoiding excess sugar, and regular exercise - that is also good sound advice, but haven't we heard it all before? It may not have been called "God's Diet," maybe it was "Dr. Joe's Diet" or "Grammie Mammie's Diet," but it was definitely somebody's diet. So, all that being said, what DO we eat, that is healthy, nutritious, low-cal, low-fat, low-sugar, salt restricted, chemical free, pesticide free, herbicide free, preservative free, affordable, and tasty? I don't know the answer to that question, but unfortunately, I did not find the answer in "God's Diet" either! Since it probably will take off pounds if you exercise and eat in moderation, the book is still worthy of a three star (even if God probably did not have to worry about pesticides and genetic modification.)
