“We have been trying to feed our hurting, longing hearts with physical food,” writes Gwen Shamblin, registered dietician and founder of the Weigh Down program, which emphasizes “God’s power–not ‘will power.’” This book offers instruction on how to eat only when physically hungry, how to “nourish the soul with a relationship with God,” and how not to confuse different hunger urges. The diet plot teaches you not to overeat by letting you eat exactly what you want, but much less of it.
The key is to know hunger, admit extensiveness, and sense what your body is really calling for. You learn to “rate” food by its appeal, and eat your favorite foods first, stopping when you’re getting full (not waiting until you’re stuffed). This is not a nutritional guide; in fact, Shamblin’s own sample menu is high in stout, cholesterol, sugar, and salt. The Weigh Down Diet is, but, a guide to using your religious beliefs to help you stop overeating and see food in a new light. This book inspires you with scriptural passages, discussions of “God’s rules” about eating, and assurances that God’s like will help you win your battle with weight.

This book is a certain leap forwards in “dieting”. My only problem is the religious language being possibly too fundamental. There is mention of homosexuality being an “indulgence” so to speak. I do have a problem with that being grouped into the “sin” category, based on the more recent readings and right interpretations of biblical writings. Center on the deadly sin of gluttony and place the sexual orientation out, and I reflect you will appeal to many more Christians.

Beware…… Gwen Shamblin is a fake teacher of the first degree. She denies the deity of Christ and the Trinity. This book teaches not freedom but bondage to her system and works. Be very careful friends.

This is a frightening approach to weight loss. While as a Christian I judge God is personally there for me, I doubt he means for me to really abdicate common sense to the rumblings of my stomach and cravings. It is treacherous to advocate, as the leader does in tapes from her workshop, that what one eats doesn’t matter. (She tells the tale of a man who ate small in the way of fruits and vegetables and he’s fine now, she says. What’s fine about such an unbalanced died.) It’s treacherous to say it really doesn’t matter if one exercises or not. God didn’t give millions of nutritionists, doctors and exercise professionals the brains to analyze information just to have one woman tell us we’re reading the Bible inaccurately. Skip the diet plot and go straight to Scripture. The answers in there, not in Weight Down, another evangelical approach to personalized religion masking more ‘Christian’ self-absorption.

One theological point I take issue with in this book is that God’s Word concerning clean and unclean foods represents “tedious eating rules” to paraphrase Gwen. Do Christians really judge that Jesus would eat pork and additional unclean foods, which are detestable to Torah-observant Jews, if He were here today? I don’t reflect so. If you study the full context of all of the “all foods are clean” verses in the New Tribute, you will find that the various Jewish writers are in fact not declaring pork and additional such foods to be clean and suitable for human consumption. Skip this book, and try “What the Bible Says About Healthy Living,” by Dr. Rex Russell.

I have read all the reviews out here and congratulate persons who have been successful. I also know the criticism that ‘1 star’ people have shared. Personally , I reflect that this type of ‘intuition’, ‘listen to your body’ type of diets are the best and natural means of losing weight but noone should ever get religious and praise God for their weight loss. At least not go over board. Just unadorned and simple, listen and trust teh body that God gave you.
