Re: The Hallelujah Diet Explained

THe 85% Portion
This is the Hallelujah portion of The Hallelujah Diet®! An abundance of God’s natural foods that are uncooked (raw) and unprocessed. The dense living nutrients found in raw foods and their juices are the things that meet and satisfy your cells’ nutritional needs. When you eat these living foods, you will find that you no longer have to deal with hunger pangs or cravings.
