Jerusalem Diet - The Jerusalem diet was created by Ted Haggard, a pastor of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs. This new weight loss and healthy eating concept is discussed in a diet/religion book by Ted Haggard. The Jerusalem Diet program is essentially the author’s personal story of weightloss based on his learnings during a trip to Jerusalem, hence the name of the diet... Haggard was there touring in 1998 when he realized he'd gained too much weight to comfortably fit in his clothes. He decided that for one day, he would eat only fruits, veg and nuts. Voila! He felt better and looked better in his clothes. Gradually, one day at a time (and about one pound a week), he returned to his target weight. Now, whenever he gains a pound or two, he restricts his diet for a day and exercises for a full hour; within 24 hours he has usually returned to his target, and this is the philosophy behind the diet. The Jerusalem diet is basically a fast for one day a week, combined with exercise, and also involves daily weighing to keep you aware of your body and weight changes. The diet can work well for people who are slightly over weight & who don't have the motivation for a full-on diet programme. As Haggard himself notes, he's not a doctor, so this plan should be adopted with some caution, and, ideally, in consultation with a physician or nutritionist.
