Get Started Kit

Two things at once

Most people who change how they eat do one thing: they add something good. More greens, more juice, a better breakfast. It helps, and then it stalls.

The reason is that the body is doing two jobs, not one. It is trying to take in what it needs, and it is trying to clear out what it doesn't. Feed it well while the second job is backed up and much of what you're giving it never gets where it's going.

That's why the Get Started Kit is two products instead of one.

BarleyMax nourishes

The signature product of the Hallelujah Diet — barley grass and alfalfa juice, dried at low temperature so the living part of the plant survives the process. It's a whole food in powder form, and it's there because our soil is not what it was, and neither is our produce.

This is the giving half.

Fiber Cleanse clears the way

A psyllium and flaxseed base with a blend of herbs. The fiber does the obvious part. The herbs do the part most people never hear about — they help move toxins out of the cells and out of the spaces around them, so the body can carry them to the bowel and be done with them. The colon is where it finishes, not where it works.

Elimination is not a comfortable subject and it is the one most people skip. It's also the reason a good diet sometimes doesn't feel like one for the first few weeks.

This is the clearing half.

Why they belong together

Nourish and clear, at the same time, for the first month. That's the whole idea, and it's the part that makes the Hallelujah Diet different from simply eating better.

What the first month looks like

Start where you are. One meal a day replaced with raw vegetables, fruit and nuts is a real beginning — you don't have to arrive at 85% raw in week one.

• A large salad with a meal, every day
• Carrot and green juice through the day if you're able
• Water — about half an ounce per pound of body weight
• BarleyMax in the morning
• Fiber Cleanse as directed

The food is the plan. The two products are what make the plan easier to keep.

What's in the box

One month's supply of BarleyMax and Fiber Cleanse, plus two short books — The Defining Advantage, on juicing, and Living the Hallelujah Diet, the plainest explanation we have of how any of this works.

Before you start

Fiber Cleanse is not for everyone. If you're pregnant or nursing, don't use it. If you take prescription medication, talk with a nutritionally minded health care professional before using it. And it isn't meant to run longer than two or three months at a stretch; after that, the Maintenance Kit is the next step.
