Here is a handy replacement guide for all the delicious foods you love that are not good for you. I downloaded it from: www.hacres.com

Don’t Just Remove Foods – Replace Them

Why just give up harmful foods when you can replace them with creative, healthy alternatives? You can re-create your favorite foods in

a healthier version that will support the body rather than detract from good health. That’s what The Hallelujah Diet is all about.

REMOVE

THESE…

Beverages:

Alcohol, coffee, caffeinated teas,

carbonated beverages, all artificial and sugar

containing drinks, sport drinks, and all juices

containing preservatives, refined salt, sugar,

and artificial sweeteners.

Dairy:

All milk, cheese, ice cream, whipped

toppings, and non-dairy creamers. (Read Dr. T.

Colin Campbell’s book, The China Study, for

documentation.)

Soy Products:

Soy has estrogenic isoflavones.

Estrogen can be a contributing factor in all

female cancers.

Fruit:

Canned and sweetened fruits, along

with non-organic and sulfured dried fruits.

Refined and/or Enriched Grains:

Refined,

bleached flour products, most cold breakfast

cereals, and white rice. (Refined grains are

devoid of fiber and can cause constipation.)

Meats:

Beef, pork, fish, chicken, eggs,

turkey, hamburgers, hot dogs, bacon,

sausage, bologna, etc. Animal source foods

are the leading causes of heart attack, stroke,

cardiovascular problems, cancer, diabetes,

osteoporosis, heartburn, gout, acid stomach,

etc.

Nuts and Seeds:

All roasted and/or salted

seeds and nuts.

Oils:

All lard, margarine, shortenings, and

anything containing hydrogenated oils or trans

fats.

Seasonings:

Refined table salt and any

seasonings containing it. Refined table salt is a

leading cause of high blood pressure.

Soups:

All canned, packaged, or creamed

soups containing salt or dairy products.

Sweets:

All refined white or brown sugar

(white sugar with molasses added), sugar

syrups, chocolate, candy, gum, cookies, donuts,

cakes, pies, or other products containing

refined sugars or artificial sweeteners.

Vegetables:

All canned vegetables with added

salt or preservatives, or vegetables fried in oil.

…

REPLACE WITH RAW FOODS

Beverages:

Freshly extracted vegetable juices,

BarleyMax, CarrotJuiceMax, BeetMax, and remineralized

distilled water. Fruit juices are high

in natural sugar; keep to a minimum.

Dairy Alternatives:

Fresh almond milk,

creamy banana milk, frozen banana,

strawberry, or blueberry “fruit creams.”

Beans:

Green beans, peas, sprouted

garbanzos, sprouted lentils, mung beans, and

other legumes (not peanuts – they are hard to

digest and prone to mold).

Fruit:

All fresh, as well as unsulphured organic

dried fruit (limit fruit to no more than 15% of

your diet to reduce natural sugar intake).

Grains:

Soaked oats, raw muesli, dehydrated

granola, dehydrated crackers.

Meat substitutes:

Sprouted beans, chia seeds,

and hemp seeds are all protein-rich plant

foods.

Nuts & Seeds:

sunflower seeds, macadamia

nuts, walnuts, raw almond butter, or tahini

(consume sparingly).

Oils and Fats:

Extra virgin olive oil, virgin

coconut oil, Udo’s Oil, flaxseed oil (the oil of

choice for people with cancer, except men

with prostate cancer who may be better

served meeting the essential fat needs through

freshly ground flaxseed), and avocados.

Seasonings:

Fresh or dehydrated herbs, garlic,

sweet onions, parsley, and salt-free seasonings.

Soups:

Raw, chilled soups made by blending

raw vegetables and/or fruits in a blender.

Sweets:

Fruit smoothies, raw fruit pies with

nut/date crusts, date-nut squares, etc.

Vegetables:

All raw vegetables.

…

REPLACE WITH COOKED FOODS*

Beverages:

Caffeine-free herbal teas and

cereal-based coffee-like beverages, bottled

organic juices.

Dairy Alternatives:

Non-dairy cheese,

almond milk, hemp milk, and rice milk (use

sparingly).

Beans:

Lima, adzuki, black, kidney, navy,

pinto, red, and white.

Fruit:

Cooked and unsweetened frozen fruits

(limit fruit to no more than 15% of your diet to

reduce natural sugar intake).

Grains:

Whole-grain cereals, breads, pasta,

brown rice, millet, etc.

Meat substitutes:

Cooked beans,

mushrooms, vegetables, grains, etc. can satisfy

the “full” feeling of meat without the negative

effects of animal source foods.

Nuts & Seeds:

some nuts (such as cashews

and almonds) are required to be pasteurized

for retail sale but are suitable if not roasted or

salted.

Oils:

Vegan mayonnaise made from coldpressed

oils.

Seasonings:

Same as the raw portion, plus

unrefined sea salt (use sparingly).

Soups:

Soups made from scratch without fat,

dairy, or refined table salt.

Sweeteners (use very sparingly):

Raw,

unfiltered honey, stevia, agave nectar, rice

syrup, unsulphured molasses, sorghum, carob,

pure maple syrup, palm sugar.

Vegetables:

Steamed or wok-cooked fresh

or frozen vegetables, baked white, yellow or

sweet potatoes, squash, etc.

* Though some of these foods may not be considered “cooked,” most packaged products (unless specifically marked “raw”) are heated to kill bacteria and increase shelf life. This process also destroys

the living enzymes, which means cooked foods cannot contribute to superior health as effectively as raw foods can. This is why The Hallelujah Diet only includes 15% cooked foods.
